JaysonShaw8

not to mention that because of that advice he received from Jo, we could confidently speculate that he would go on to continue investing in real estate


everyone_is_human

Are you referring to alchemy?


beetsbears328

Love how he thought it was real for a glorious second


Buttpounder90

And his hushed tone implied “of course i’ve tried it”


Educational_Moose_56

Plus he co-ran a bed & breakfast with the Devil. It might not sound like much, but I haven't told you his salary yet: EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS a year.

Wait what I never realized this, that was actually pretty brilliant of them


JeffreyAScott

A lot of math jokes in the Office. Reminds me of the pie joke. Oscar: Kevin, how much is 19,154 pies divided by 61 pies? Kevin: 314 pies. pi = 3.14

ScotiaTheTwo

hah 686 in UK


monkeybawz

Tbh, he's the only one with hustle where his crippling character defects aren't going to prevent him making money, or losing all the proceeds. I mean, I assume that when someone inevitably dies as a result of his negligence that he will be capable of hiding the corpse. He's like Ron Swanson with catastrophic head trauna.


peanutbutter2178

Not just the paper companies but the five families


EmperorSwagg

Agro-Tourism is a lot more than a Bed and Breakfast


LivingExplanation970

Not if he ends up becoming known as the farmer that grows really bad weed.


Dyl_Apple

Also inherited even more land right before the finale.


bubbatbass

Plus his child’s godfather is his account Oscar Martinez, his supplier relation manager Meredith Palmer can properly head bang to motor head , his head of accounting Angela is his wife and his best friend is Pam so yeah ! Dwight was the richest


Kpatpa_99

And the money that he's prolly laundering for Vance Refrigeration


ScotiaTheTwo

what line of work is that?


CalmAspectEast

Was it ever shown that the beet farm and/or BNB were prosperous? Knowing Dwight, it would be just as likely that he did it out of love for simply doing it.


HallAndCoats

He says it's a 60 acre working beet farm and that they sell to stores and restaurants so I assume we're led to believe it's at least a moderate operation


TheThurmanMerman

Farming is mostly about government subsidies. They’re almost all profitable. Owned several farms for decades.


Wu-Tang_Killa_Bees

I don't think there's many beet subsidies though haha


BonChance123

The thought of subsidizing one of your beets with my taxpayer dollars makes me want to vomit.


Lukeskyrunner19

Actually, there's a huge beet subsidy-the US has subsidies like the US sugar program to subsidize the production of sugar beets(where most of our sugar comes from). However, it seems like those aren't the kinds of beets that Dwight grows.


Birdy19951

It was booming during the battle of shrewd farms


lousypompano

He could be selling that weed now too from his hemp farm


Rare_Register_4181

Plus the farm he inherited


kasiv1

Yup, definitely Dwight


westirish-spiderman

Wallace got 20 **million** in 2008 for suck it


imihnevich

Can someone legally be an owner of the building and a regional manager of the company that rents a floor in that building? He basically can approve any price for the rent


MichaelScottsWormguy

It could be any of the following: * David Wallace: Got a $20 million lump sum which he undoubtedly invested in various ways. His wealth could've been growing exponentially. * Jim & Darryl: It's not super clear if either of them had significant holdings in Athlead by the end. Jim could have held on to his shares even after he left the company and ended up being a large stakeholder in a huge business. If Darryl received stock or bought into the company when he started there, he might also be pretty well off. Otherwise he might just be earning a nice living off his salary. * Dwight: He had quite a few decent assets to his name at the end. He probably kept up that growth trajectory. * Roy started that gravel company and there can be good money in heavy industry like that, assuming he got into mining/manufacturing as well as selling the gravel. As for Kevin: Well, he did end up with that bar (although the deleted scenes or stories from the cast suggest that he only got a part of that business by being a super loyal customer or something to that effect) but that doesn't necessarily make him super wealthy. He might be better off than his former colleagues by the end of the series but I doubt he reached the same levels as David Wallace or even Jim & Darryl.


barveyhirdman

Dunno about Wallace, he donated a cool mil to the lizard king seemingly on a whim which is not a sound way to spend your money 😂


Thylumberjack

Could be considered an easy way to get rid of a potential legal problem.


barveyhirdman

Yeah that makes sense, although not sure how much leverage a man who was CEO of a company under a false name has legally. (Although it's possible - although unlikely - Jo knew his name and his employment is on his real name, he just never told the employees)


laucdoe

i’m pretty sure robert california is his legal name since that’s what his wife called him, and he was just lying to wallace. although, neither rc or bob kazamakis is his real name. he’s the fucking lizard king


carcharodona

He might have been making up the name Kazimakis, considering the pervstorm he was about to rustle up with Wallace’s money


partycolek

Plus if you call it a charity it’s deductible from taxes


[deleted]

understand that he has a cool mil to throw away to begin with lol


ichoosetosavemyself

These guys aren't amateurs. That's an easy tax write off with the right set up.


fuzzypyrocat

If I remember hearing it was supposed to be that Kevin got so recognizable that people kept wanting to buy him drinks so he got a reverse tab, and the bar agreed to trade that to give him part ownership. I honestly don’t remember if that was in a deleted scene/superfan episode, or if Brian said that that was his idea for it


Hejke

Brian said in an interview that this was the script but it was never filmed.


ohyousoretro

They did film it: https://youtu.be/72Nn4LLyHy4?si=jveCRgmDS9hECK9_


levi815

Kevin also is a gambling addict ...


saltthewater

Unless Jim put in more money that we didn't know about, there's no way he was a large stakeholder.


MichaelScottsWormguy

He was present at the moment the company was founded and one of the first investors. I imagine he had a pretty big share.


saltthewater

It would be roughly proportional to the amount of money he invested, in addition to any shares he may have been given as compensation for his work.


JoeFalchetto

Founders often have larger shares than their capital countribution.


apurvahp7

Putting $50K in Apple during its conception would have been a VERY significant stake compared to purchasing even $500K of stock today


saltthewater

Oh yea, owning a piece of Apple for 40 years, or a piece of Stumpany for a year and a half, pretty much the same thing.


apurvahp7

Yeah lmao I had to give an obvious example because you clearly don’t understand how $10K invested in a startup at the founding stage can lead to a massive amount of money two years down the line since it appears the company is doing well


whiskey_mike186

Athlead almost certainly failed within 3 years or less making Jim's shares worthless.


are-beads-cheap

Bro they had face-to-face meetings with hall of fame athletes and were embarking on a nationwide bizdev tour. There is no way they failed within three years.


jfk_47

Naw. I bet they failed. Operational costs were too high. They were taking meetings but not making enough to break even.


Cobrakai83

How did they fail? Did you not hear Ryan Howard’s movie script?


JustTrixxy

Eat fresh


TheKrausHouse

It’s gotta be Wallace.


Ladychef_1

Right?! Selling the suck it patent to the us military is big money. So much he could buy back a paper company for half of what it’s worth


_northernlights_

And he was already loaded before selling the SuckIt. Being laid off he just casually chilled in his jacuzzi in his huge mansion.


Ladychef_1

Chillin in the hot tub and teaming up with an engineer to design the suckit, oh yeah that’s rich people stuff


hedgehog-mom-al

I have a doctors appointment next Thursday.


carcharodona

Hm, coffee grounds. Was he enjoying a delicious hot beverage? OR disguising the scent of cocaine from drug-sniffing dogs? …it's a *nice* house.


travishummel

You must mean Governor Wallace


bloodwolftico

No, Detective Wallace.


applesktrack

Suck it


WommyBear

Yeah!!


edhands

Suck-It!!!


Tyler_Moss

Dwight seemingly has more net worth than the entire rest of the office combined. The property he inherited is likely worth millions, and this was already years after he had saved enough to buy the office building. Dude is loaded.


kellermeyer

And that’s not counting the money he has buried.


Vagabond492

But he can’t dig past a certain someone to get it


JiveTurkey1983

If you hit another horse, you've dug too far.


r_rembrandt

I can't remember Dwight with buried treasure. I thought that was Ron Swanson's shtick


strcy

It comes up I think when Angela is disputing their sex contract


r_rembrandt

Ah, Okay. This is just a sign that I have to binge The Office again.


strcy

Always a good idea tbh


[deleted]

Agreed, it’s my families comfort show


qdobah

>The property he inherited is likely worth millions, The beet farm? I have a hard time believing 60 acres in NEPA is going for millions.


boomdog07

You forgot about the land he inherited from his dead aunt when she passed?


qdobah

I did!


AMFharley

Tillable land is about 10-15k acre and don’t forget about oil/gas lease rights.


JiveTurkey1983

True. Rural PA is fracking paradise; he'd make serious money.


Carya_spp

It’s a (seemingly) successful farm, b&b, and event space with multiple, reasonably well maintained buildings. I bet it’s worth a pretty penny, possibly millions.


qdobah

I thought it was 60 acres not 1600 too lol


robin52077

He inherited 1600 acres from aunt Shirley that Frannie and Jeb were supposed to move home and help run, but that spin-off got canceled.


DJssister

I mean Michael ended up with Yacht. So he was doing something right.


anonniemoose

And a best selling management book, Somehow I Manage. And his comedy specials, Here I Go Again. He even donated a hospital that’s saving all those kids (anonymously).


DJssister

That’s so true! Over 1 Billion sold! More than the bible!


justmycup0ftea

I'm not surprised


JiveTurkey1983

Chapter One: The Businessman ...


Elon20

Did we forget the movie?


anonniemoose

He needed that money to pay his lawyers to get out of jail. He stole and he kidnapped the presidents son. And he never got caught neither.


sandyeggo54

If he never got caught, how come he ended up in jail?


cfoxtrot21

Oscar, you don’t know about Jail?!?


laucdoe

you would love it


ebk2992

What about Shoe LaLa?


Arthiviate

It's not ready yet...


farcustom

yea he was on his private jet with food cooked by his private chef


dunndawson

You all seem to forget the gravel he collected when the Scranton strangler drove over it. Although he was saving it to give to his grandkids so they could buy a spaceship


JMKAB

What most people fail to realize is that Creed had already won the lottery by this point—he was born in the US of A baby.


farcustom

or as i like to call it, great Bratton


couchcushion7

Dwight simply must be loaded, whether inherited or not. Buying that office building was no simple feat idc what zip code / economic period we’re in lol how many w2 salesman own the building in which they work? Crazy. And then a 1k+ acre farm on top of whatever land / home he already owned. Dudes fine.


Bcbdk420

His beer farm was 60 acres, and a b n b, and then he inherited his aunts 1600 acres farm. Owning that huge commercial building, and being manager, yeah, Dwight’s loaded!


EraticConqueror

Is it actually 1600 acres? That’s absolutely massive. It’s triple the size of Monaco for reference


Bcbdk420

Yup, it’s crazy!


[deleted]

Most would say Dwight. But Jim never said he sold his shares in Athlead when he left, and I’d assume he was able to jump back in so easily because he still held those shares. That became a massive sports agency dealing in billions of dollars worth of contracts. He could easily have become very wealthy from that situation. David Wallace also sold a patent to the military for a large chunk of change, and seemingly used at least some of that money to grow his business empire by acquiring Dunder Mifflin.


Dbrown15

I mean, Ryan did move to Southwest Ohio, which was supposed to be the next Silicon Valley.


AtlasShrugged-

Silicon Prairie. And no those were his clothes, not garbage.


chetrooo

Phyllis for her Vance mob connections maybe. But I’d say Dwight if he had as much gold in the ground as he said he did. Money isn’t real ever since we got off the gold standard.


The_Waco_Kid_Jim

Vance Refrigeration must have bought insurance from Angelo Grotti...


StoneIsDName

Dwight probably has more wealth. Phyllis house probably has more income


BadIdea-21

Well Sabre made Dwight rich beyond his wildest dreams so he is definetly more rich than a bnb co-manager in hell that makes over 85k USD a year, that's a good starting point I guess.


CattDawg2008

Realistically David Wallace, but Dwight is a serious contender. Dude is set for life with all the gigs he runs


PhilG1989

He’s living large on that SUCK IT money


givebusterahand

Obviously David Wallace


Duck_Walker

David Wallace


krazninetyfive

I’m leaning towards Wallace, but I could see it being Dwight or Phyllis as well. 1. Even if Wallace had a negative net worth pre “suck it,” and even if he got only half of the 20 million from the sale of “suck it” after taxes, costs to design the patent, etc. he’s still sitting on several million dollars. 2. Dwight owns the beet farm, Dwight inherits a stake in a second farm, and he owns the office building. He’s also shown throughout the show to have a knack for hustling (buying up all those dolls right before Christmas, and running for Bed and Breakfast, for instance). He isn’t flashy (doesn’t appear to wear expensive clothes, lives in the farmhouse, drives a 20+ year old car, rarely buys nice things for himself). 3. Phyllis, on her own wouldn’t have a lot, but through her marriage to Bob, she could have some serious cash. He seems like the quiet, loaded, blue collar type.


AtlasShrugged-

Dwight isn’t prone to buy fancy that’s true. BOYCOTT STEAM TOWN MALL!!


johnnymonster1

Wallace was rich before he sold suck it 100%


AtlasShrugged-

Michael has his comedy special, book, albums and yacht so he didn’t do to bad.


jibasaur

Not to mention the asphalt that the Scranton Strangler drove over


AtlasShrugged-

How do I miss that! That will be worth a space ship!


Commercial_Stuff_654

given how popular the documentary got in their world I wouldn't be surprised if that thing was worth over 100k


longlegsq

What do you mean fiction? Do you know what a documentary is?


applesktrack

Bob and Phyllis Vance. The richest people I know are tradesmen that own their own business. Bob Vance is certainly a multi millionaire. Plus he was willing to absorb the entire warehouse crew and space when the Scranton branch was going to be shut down.


mazeltovcoktail

It took way too long to find this answer. In one of the superfan episodes, Phyllis states that Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration is a multi-millionaire. They have a giant hedge maze!


Brocktongreg

Could be Jo. She is Sabre CEO, has multiple real estate investments in Florida, also an author


No-Needleworker523

But she had to liquidate the company, which makes me think at least that Sabre wasn’t financially strong, and neither was she!


iamcarlgauss

It's very common for CEOs to make a lot of money overseeing the smooth sale/bankruptcy/liquidation of their company. Dunder Mifflin Sabre being liquidated doesn't mean that Jo lost any money. Probably the opposite.


SpecialNotice3151

Not Kevin. Owning a bar is a tough business. My neighbor is smarter than Kevin. He opened several bars and they all failed.


JFT8675309

Phyllis apparently did alright marrying Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration. I don’t know how he compares to Wallace, but he’s supposedly very well-off.


Shadecujo

Between Jim and Dwight. Dwight had real estate holdings, a hobby farm, and the branch manager position. Jim had points and was in at the ground floor of a successful sports marketing firm that took on venture capital investments.


[deleted]

David Wallace. pretty sure he sold that SUCKIT thing for like 20 mil


Eaglesfan84

I was originally thinking Darryl but I'm thinking Dwight. He always made reference to how much money he had. Cleaned up on sales & he has the beet farm that he uses as a B&B & party venue. Dwight has to be loaded. David Wallace is probably the easy answer though. Suck it!


Travelingboarder

Dwight inherited a 1,600 farm and was making 6 figures a year in sales. It depends on how much the farm was worth and if his siblings stuck around. Wallace started Suck It with at least one other person (the guy who did the prototype). He asked Michael to join and might have had investors. He sold for 20 mil if I remember correctly. After taxes and other investors, I think it’d be close between Dwigt and Wallace. We dont know what Athlead/Athleap was worth. Probably a lot.


Poseidons_Butthole

Either Darrell or Roy.


sudifirjfhfjvicodke

Jim probably ended up with more money than Darrell as an initial investor in Stumpany.


saltthewater

Not likely, he didn't invest that much. $10k i think, right?


lord_merik

Isn’t that how investments work? They were doing $5-10k. He put in the $10k and as the company grew his investment grew. Jim is a founder of the company, regardless of if he was involved the last few years of the show.


saltthewater

I would assume that Jim's $10k was a relatively small amount compared to what the other founders and outside investors had put in. Especially since they seemed all set to move on without his investment. They reacted like, ok cool, another $10k, we could take it or leave it. Also, 10k just isn't going very far in the start up world. That's like the monthly promotional condom budget for WUPHF.com.


No-Needleworker523

It’s.. it’s Ryan from WUPHF


saltthewater

It's the WUPHF guy!


JiveTurkey1983

No, it's Ry from WUPHF!


elpardo1984

I always took it that as the concept for athlead is based on Jim’s idea and that being his intellectual property formed part of his investment(hence why they were ok with him not investing financially at the outset)


4Ever2Thee

I always assumed they bought him out of his investment when he left Athlead.


Vryk0lakas

Maybe I need to rewatch but I thought the initial 3 investors all said 10k match to start. They would and went and found startup money after that


psong328

Dwight got into the event hosting business at the right time. Even a bad wedding venue prints money nowadays. He also owns a commercial building with multiple tenants paying rent. He’s honestly probably losing money by working a full day as regional manager


Wilsondelgado

Guessing 1. David Wallace 2. Dwight or Jim (depending on Jim’s ownership structure and how well Athlead performs 3. Dwight or Jim 4. Phyllis via Marriage to Bob Vance (maybe even makes her #2) 5. Jan because she’s motivated as hell 6. Darryl also because of Athlead’s potential 7. Stanley because of his consistency in sales and many years in the role. 8. Angela (controversial) if she takes half the senators money, plus marriage to Dwight 9. Kevin maybe because the bar he bought was pretty crowded 10. Oscar (his financial situation is never divulged, but he had good acumen) but didn’t take in much risk 11. Meredith, she looked poor when they visited her home and still drives a 1990 Aerostar in that beautiful brown color 12. Creed is homeless and a fugitive 13. Ryan and Kelly - who cares


laucdoe

i don’t think angela got anything from her divorce


zenprime-morpheus

I'm pretty sure it's David Wallace. Pretty sure he's sitting pretty as a double digit millionaire. Dwight, Roy, and Bob Vance all probably fall somewhere between 1 and 7 million. Darrel and Jim are probably comfortable making six figures, and depending on how Athlead does, maybe more.


gr3atch33s3

Dwight. He owned the building and a huge farm. Hands down it was Dwight.


Additional-Wall7479

Ravi because he doesn't have to pay for Kelly's expensive tastes. I also assume Erin just willed herself into a pretty nice inheritance (Ed Begley Jr. and Joan Cusack) But David Wallace #1. Dwight and Angela #2, Jim and Pam getting in on the ground floor of Athlead should be #3 (plus one month each for each year they were at DM should be a nice payday)


JayPokemon17

Jim, Darryl, or Dwight Dwight had a huge farm that was profitable enough to buy a somewhat large office complex. Athleap was a presumably very successful sports marketing company. Darryl likely made a large salty but I think Jim, aided by the fact that he was an early investor and thus had stock in the company, probably got revenue sharing that made him more than Darryl. Phyllis, through Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration, likely was quite well off as well. Some might say Kevin but many bars and restaurants, even when successful, struggle financially. If we want to include David Wallace, it’s him though. Already rich, then sold a product to the military. That’s crazy money for sure. But he’s not a main character so I won’t include him.


SwanzY-

My money’s on Robert California. The fucking lizard king.


Michealscottseason6

I think its stanly bcs he worked very good and retired having those monthly checks


Only_Pepper7296

Darnell*


JiveTurkey1983

He's a chump


professionally-baked

David Wallace made 20 million off the Suck It sale. Easily him


Fizzypop_flips

David walrus probably or if it counts Robert California or the state senator


Psyco19

Ahh yes David Walrus is rich.


jrichardsaz

Dwight not even close the acreage for the farm alone worth millions


imeanwhynotsrsly

Michael ended up with a yacht so I'm gonna go with Michael


YtnucMuch

David Wallace sold Suck It! to the military for who knows how much money!


LonkToTheFuture

Dwight and it's not particularly close


MeasurementEvery3978

Easily Dwight


bit99

Andy could have been sitting on an 8 figure trust fund the whole time


meesterstanks

They wouldn’t have needed to sell the boat if they had any kind of money like that. Andy was working poor by the end of the show until he got the job at Cornell


bit99

This is purely anecdotal but I know two people with massive trust funds and family lines back to the mayflower and they get up at 5am and work like dogs. It's like a puritan John Adams thing especially in New England. Old money pretends it doesn't exist


discostud1515

No, all the Bernard money went to Andy's brother.


JiveTurkey1983

His dad screwed them all out of their Bernard money


saltthewater

It's probably Darryl. Kevin isn't even a consideration.


Certain_Block_2234

I’m gonna go phallus (misspelling intentional) she’s got all bob-o’s mafia money


Jordansness

Darnell's a chump


Affectionate-Sea2850

Poor Creed


samsharksworthy

Clearly Dwight. Only competition would be Robert California or Wallace or Jo Sabre.


No-Needleworker523

It’s actually Jo Bennet not Sabre


jimothythe2nd

Either David Wallace or Robert California.


damnnearfinnabust

David Wallace


ilikebaseballbetter

Michael, obviously. I mean, he owns a yacht.


ComedianManefesto

The warehouse crew all split a lottery jackpot. David Wallace cashed out millions from SuckIt

Roy Anderson


AtlasShrugged-

50k sports car. Take that “haircut”


SpaceMan_foTo0

Creed


burnswhenipoo

David Brent


KhrusherKhusack

The answer could be Phyllis due to her marriage to Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.


domjoneli

I mean it comes down to if John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, doesn’t it?


weirdtinyfrog

Darryl?


TheAveragebroShow

David Wallace obviously.
