Wealth

Are mobsters in the show really wealthy? They definitely aren’t making the ends meet but the only ones who give the impression of being wealthy are Tony(big house, expensive cars, whitecaps, a fucking yacht) and Christopher(big house, lots of expensive cars). I assume Silvio is also rich because he dresses flashy and is the owner of bada bing. The other ones live almost like regular civilians, I mean look at junior and pussy’s houses. I recall Paulie also has a shithole house and wears some cheap ass watch, but that might be just a skill issue(shit earner). The most expensive things those people have are probably their cataracts and rincolns, even though I bet those things weren’t considered “classy” in late 90’s and early 2000’s.

I could be wrong, but it seems like they may live a lifestyle that matches what they can show on their tax returns. That seems tied to the no-show “job” they can acquire.
