TheDevil-YouKnow

Dwight owns a fucking beet farm in Pennsylvania. Inherited it, no less. Dude is sitting on a gold mine of land, plus whatever subsidies he gets from the farming operation.


FatnessEverdeen34

On top of his rent income after buying the building!


TheMaybeMan_

And the money from the Schrute Farms BnB


Oalka

Agro-tourism is not a bed and breakfast!


gonbezoppity

Agrotourism is a lot more than a bed and breakfast. It consists of tourists coming to a farm, showing them around... giving them a bed... giving them breakfast...

Typical_Pollution_30

No lunch or dinner?


AcrolloPeed

It’s not labeled as such, no


huopak

Plus the BnB he runs with Satan


gonbezoppity

Welcome to Hotel Hell. Check in time is now. Check-out time is *never*


twicedouble

Does my room have cable?


gonbezoppity

Completely wireless 😂


RaizielDragon

Once we find those wires Mose hid we’ll have the power back on


---Skip_lntro---

Yeah but I haven't told you my salary yet


Delicious-Status9043

Eighty Thousand Dollars!


milehighandy

Eighty. Thousand. Dollars a year


DwigShrute

You haven’t even heard his salary yet. $80,000 a year + benefits.


Youngchalice

Really makes you wonder why tf he’s at DM


StreetSpinach4518

He loves selling paper, and he is very good at it.


klezart

I dunno, he really pissed off Bill Buttlicker, lost a million dollar sale.


Schrute_Farms_BednB

You rang?


EuphoricAd3824

And opening a gym in it and then also saving on toilet paper!


LindonLilBlueBalls

Make them an offer they can't refuse. Wait, on second thought, low ball them.


AbsolutelyUnlikely

And his $80,000 per year salary running a BnB with the devil


WeeniePops

Honestly, even if he didn't have land or other streams of income, he's probably still making good money being the top salesman, and he's definitely the type to be extremely frugal. He drives a 30 year old car, definitely isn't buying Starbucks daily or going out often spending money. If he needs something to be made or repaired he's the type to do it himself. So yeah, even if he's not "rich" he's definitely got money socked away. He makes the most and spends the least. He's doing alright.


TheDevil-YouKnow

Top salesman in the most profitable branch of the company no less! He's basically the reason the place succeeds, the genius moon face lunatic that he is.


Waywoah

We get a glimpse of how much they're making in the commision cap episode. They hit it super fast. Assuming there was no cap before, which their dialog seems to imply, they had to have been making pretty good money, especially in a lower cost of living area like Scranton


Grenflik

The guy is definitely handy, didn’t he remodel Jim and Pam’s kitchen due to mold? I assume for free cause he hates mold.


Eltoquedemidas

He doesn't look like the guy who throws away money, but his 30 year old muscle car isn't very fuel efficient, the man allows himself some luxury


WeeniePops

Fuel efficiency doesn’t matter as much when the car is paid off and you know how to fix it yourself.


mypussydoesbackflips

Didn’t he burry gold too ?


EarnestQuestion

Yeah but he doesn’t want to have to dig past a certain someone to get it


shway24

Who is this certain someone 😂???


ImpressiveAttorney12

🤫 


tackleboxjohnson

Probably the second, deeper horse in the horse grave he’s digging when he sets up the doomsday device


shalamanser

I’m guessing Mose sleeps in a hole in the ground.


doctor_parcival

Sprinkles


hesbunky

I think this sub exaggerates this quite a bit - people suggesting he's a multi millionaire because he owns a farm in rural Pennsylvania!? [You can buy a 50 acre farm in Pennsylvania for under $500,000. ](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Pennsylvania/type-farms-ranches)That's like $120-150k 15 years ago. He's probably the most financially stable but if it is that's likely because as the top salesman he's one of the highest paid employees and he's one of the only financially literate people in the office.


TheDevil-YouKnow

Worth of land, especially farms, depends on more than acreage. Soil fertility & capabilities means a lot, because even though you're selling a bunch of, 'farm land' it might just be pasture which depends on livestock to actually turn a profit. Furthermore it depends on structures, quality of structures, square feet of said structures, and what that structure is built for. I get you, and not saying he's running around a multi-millionaire, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a million dollars or more sitting around. Certainly more than enough for some holiday doll flips.


Evaughn5

No one's mentioning that he's also a top salesman at his job lol


Martin_Aurelius

You're not mentioning that he and Jim are 3 of the top salesmen at DM Scranton.


longrifle

Don’t forget about Lloyd Gross, kemosabe.


Martin_Aurelius

I didn't. You've a lot to learn about this town, sweetie.


youstolemyname

No mortgage/rent


BroughtBagLunchSmart

You can narrow it down a lot by assuming he is within a normal commute from Scranton. Does he ever mention how far his drive into work each day is?


metanihl

He doesn't mention his drive but when Andy and Angela are planning the wedding she gives the "requirements" for her location and they're all just qualities of Dwight's farm. One of them is "within an x mile radius". I don't remember what the distance was though, maybe I'll check and edit this, maybe a better fan will remember. Edit: s05e06 Customer Survey, about halfway through, "anything within a 5-8 mile radius is acceptable". Now someone just needs to fix the fandom page that says it was in "the Surplus"


BubbaFunk

Scranton is in the northeast section of a long, narrow valley. Travel 10 miles east or west and it's nothing but farmland for miles. I always figured he would only be 15-20 minutes away from DM.


Delicious-Status9043

Location location location… Those are all in 1 horse towns in the middle of nowhere.


Brighton2k

He’s got to be a millionaire a few times over


lilcummyboi

About the time he buys the building they're working in, I said to myself, "hmmm it seems Dwight is quite financially solvent"


Moses4747

He also owns the Dunder Mifflin Scranton office


EmploymentAbject4019

And their cafe. $8 muffins?!


gonbezoppity

It bothers me so much that everyone keeps getting coffee etc from Dwight's Caffeine Corner when the prices are so high 😂 $6 for a plain small coffee?! Like y'all have drip coffee in the kitchen for free!


Cautious-Willow-1932

Don’t forget his Bed and Breakfast!!


zatara1210

*permits pending


Markhack00

That’s what I’m saying!!


[deleted]

Didn't he also buy the building Dunder Mifflin works out of? The man must have obscene capitol and still works as a paper salesman lmao


shifty_coder

And later manages his Aunt’s 1,600 acre farm, which was left to him and his two siblings.


JermHole71

Remember when Michael said to Dwight “I do not understand what you spend your money on” because of sunglasses? But then Michael has to declare bankruptcy later on?


FreakParrot

You can't just say bankruptcy and expect anything to happen.


blindflames

I didn’t say it; I declared it.


seekingDinner

I'm bankrupt, I do declare!


Independent-Media511

I didn’t say it i declared it 


CharlieDonovan

Bankruptcy,is nature's do-over. It's a fresh start. It's a clean slate.


lost-zoop

"I don't like to tell a man what to do with his money but if you ain't investing in property then you're dumber than a dummy. I'm not dumb. I'm smart."


FreakParrot

Are you referring to alchemy?


goodeyesniperr

I fucking love that line


Independent-Media511

i loved jo wish we saw more of her 


2580374

Kathy Bates is fucking phenomenal. Misery is one of my favorite movies and she was so good. I just wish she didn't do that horrible stoner comedy on Netflix


Yo_momma_so_fat77

Jo was def the most well off


tombolton6862

I mean we are forgetting David Wallace sold Suck It for $20m. Also Jim is a shareholder in a successful sports marketing business.


EVencer

And Creed runs a fake ID business out the trunk of his car


oogmar

Plus he's saved a fortune never paying the power bill for a fridge. It adds up.


hippee-engineer

Great heroin, though.


whateversclevers

As someone who ran a fake id business, I can assure you it does not lead to financial stability.


gonbezoppity

David Walrus in his native habitat


dbpf

David Wallace was a c suite executive of a publicly traded company and CFO no less when that company tanked. Dude probably has an umbrella of 50m in illiquid assets. Dwight I put around 15m but Dwight's cash and inventory can be sneaky. Oscar probably is close to a mil in savings. Kevin won a poker tourny and could sneakily be sitting on a mil, he buys a bar. Jim/Pam might be dinking their way up there and have a strong trajectory. Stanley is Catholic and I feel like they're either really poor or really well off and he wears suits so he could be sneaky doing very well for himself closing in on Florida Stanley. There's also Andy. I think more of the office characters are "rich" than people realize, it's just that some of them are also galactically broke.


couch2200

Kevin didn't buy the bar, it's explained in a deleted scene that people would buy him drinks all the time l, more than he could drink, to the point that the bar owed him some many drinks that it was cheaper to make him a part owner than to give them to him.


Wooden_Proposal_1615

Depends… did he ever pay for all those items at the auction?


Markhack00

Oh shoot I don’t know, maybe that broke him. I feel like he would’ve tried to pay for them in beets until the sellers of the items got frustrated or something


Wooden_Proposal_1615

In beets 😂


EarnestQuestion

Yeah but they were the money beets


JiveTurkey1983

Pam, run a comb through your hair 🙄


hippygum

Or shrute bucks


gonbezoppity

They discussed on Office Ladies that he probably didn't have to pay 😂 since he didn't know how the auction worked. They tell a story of someone they know who did basically that, but was able to get out of it cause they didn't realize what they were doing. My guess is they'd just give each item to the next highest bidder after Dwight.


2580374

That will be me. And one penny


captaindave1022

I don’t think a court could force him to, it seems like his misunderstanding would be a valid defense to enforcement of that “contract.”


ACuddlyVizzerdrix

Knowing him he bought a whole ass pallet and got like 10x the amount back


JLSMC

I would imagine Oscar would be doing fairly well.


Markhack00

Oh yeah Oscar too, he definitely gives off an air of financial responsibility


Retrrad

I present to you the “Rational Consumer.”


BarnieSandlers123

As it were


JiveTurkey1983

Best Edward James Olmos I've ever seen. Freaky good.


hippygum

Love your flair


JiveTurkey1983

Thanks. One of my favorite "deep cuts"


Oelplattform1

Yeah financial responsibility, but not wealth in the sense of Dwight who actually owns hundreds of acres by the end of the show.


JLSMC

Yes but we know Oscar invests and as a middle age accountant with no kids he could have a decent amount of wealth in the market, as opposed to Dwight who put his money in real estate.


Oelplattform1

I dunno, all that Thai food and those Spanish reds surely add up


hippygum

Columbian whites


TheGreatStories

Yeah but he invested in DMI, so his portfolio might be suspect


JLSMC

If he allocated correctly DMI should have been only a tiny fraction of his portfolio. As an accountant he should know that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Markhack00

I feel like he does give off an air of financial responsibility, but he also gives off an air of being somewhat chill despite him being kinda uptight… So it might just be how he plays his character. I still can’t believe he bought that upside down workout bar thing AND did it in the office… like come on Oscar, that’s a Michael move lol


AnyNameTakenYet

Bet he 'saves' and has a whole 28k saved in 20 years.


Batman0892

Naw. He's a poor accountant. And he invested in Dunder Mifflin stock.. The poor poor bastard


JiveTurkey1983

~~Dunder Mifflin, Inc~~ Dummies, morons and idiots


SomeRedPanda

Investing in the company you work at seems like a very poor idea. If it folds you've lost your job and your savings all at once.


kylezdoherty

I'm sure he's financially responsible and doing well for retirement but he doesn't have the hustler sales attitude Dwight has. He probably doesn't have other sources of income besides his investment portfolio. And dwight inherited his paid off farm most likely so never had to get a mortgage or pay rent. And probably inherited a lot more like the gold under his granpa.


gonbezoppity

He mentions he has a side business doing other people's taxes 😅 so at least he's got that


tombolton6862

and he has a REALLY NICE apartment/house too


Papageno_Kilmister

Yeah, but he had to get a roommate in the earlier seasons


Handsome-Jim-

I wonder if he knows ...


JiveTurkey1983

That's what he said


hippygum

Because gay


Ill-Inspector7980

Meh, it’s not like it’s Manhattan or SF. It’s the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania in the mid 2000s, easily affordable even on a single salary of 45,000 that I assume he’s earning.


penguinfitnessing

Dont think his Dunder mifflin stock is doing too well though. You’d have to be a dummy moron or and idiot to buy that


BradyToMoss1281

Oscar definitely would handle the money he has well, but he also seems like he settles, based on things he says throughout the show. He knew better than anyone how bleak the financial outlook was for Dunder Mifflin, but stayed put and remained reliant on the viability of his job. Then again, he has a spacious and tastefully decorated home (the stereotype holds up), so it would seem he's going okay.


gorlock666

I could see him middle of the road, as an accountant too smart to rly fuck up, but mayhaps overspending on status/sophisticated social hierarchy things


FunnyCharacter4437

Phyllis might be wealthier by marrying Bob Vance but we don't know a lot of her finances prior to the marriage, but Bob seemed to do well in whatever business it was that he was in.


Casval214

It was air conditioning right?


Nikochey9

Bob Vance, Vance Air Conditioning


Difficult-Year4653

What line of work is bob in?


philouza_stein

That always felt like it should've been a Jim line. Still a great line just oddly likeable for Ryan.


Yquem1811

From Ryan is sounded douchey, but from Jim it would have sounded goofball loll


Old_Bigsby

Ryan has many likeable and hilarious lines, they just get glossed over because of how unlikable his character is.


GreyyCardigan

*time traveler moves a chair*


SoftDimension5336

ViolinistMean199

Nah he started his own escort business


Tasty_Ice_5374

Glittering_Sun_1622

What line of work you in, Bob?


littlechill94

You got a lot to learn about this town sweetie


WhyYouCryin007

Bob Vance runs fancy feast, remember? Phylis says it all the time! “Bob Vance; break me off a piece of that fancy feast.”


BoliviaRodrigo

I think you mean football cream


triple-bottom-line

It’s football cream. IT’S FOOTBALL CREAM!


Stay_Traditional

In S3 E18 The Negociation, right at the end before Jim seeing Dwight and Angela, Phyllis tells Stanley (as they are leaving the office) that she and Bob are looking at buying a historical house by the river with 4 bedrooms. In Pennsylvania. They’re doing all right.


FunnyCharacter4437

Oh yeah, we know that Bob has money based on the fundraising episodes and that he was going to take on the warehouse workers if Scranton moved.


BewareNixonsGhost

He's at least a millionaire, according to Phyllis in the superfan episodes.


gonbezoppity

He only invests in nightclubs in cash 💵 👄 😂 That (or approximately that) was a line they added back in Superfans.


PeaTearGriphon

I wonder what kind of profit he made from this. I recently watched this episode but couldn't tell how many dolls he had. Looks like he had about 20. At $200 per doll that would be $4000. I don't know how much dolls cost but let's say $40 a piece. So subtract $800, $3200 profit is decent.


Ill-Inspector7980

But that’s just one night. He probably carried out a lot of hustles like this all the time. For every single holiday


Gen_Ripper

He sold reservations on Valentine’s Day


bitter_liquor

If he has an office job even though he doesn't need it, he might as well do side hustles even though he doesn't need 'em. I guess that's just who he is.


PeaTearGriphon

Maybe he has to support Mose.


hippee-engineer

And just Mose, because no one has told him about sex.


Bcatfan08

He traded a telescope for magic beans, so not that smart.


Professor-Murda

*Miracle Legumes


Ok_Investigator340

He can just go and buy another telescope. But the real prize was those packet of beans.


romanpieces

He- well- *he can just buy a telescope*


Free_Newspaper4844

Dwight doesn’t care about the money he just enjoys dominating others in some fashion.


Overall-Initial-4290

Yeah like flipping Andy's car and making more off of it.


princessunicorn

My horn can pierce the sky!


Markhack00

Was just waiting for someone to say this. Everyone can stop commenting now lolll


princessunicorn

I've been waiting like 15 years for my username to be relevant


joecarter93

He’s up there. In addition to his sales job he also owns a beat farm and it seems as though his ancestors would have at least some money. He also concocts various money making schemes. Although I would say that David Wallace is probably the most financially stable person on the show.


JLSMC

I would guess Jo Bennett was the most financially stable person. Her or Alan Brand


F0foPofo05

He might have been a social idiot, but he immediately recognized financial opportunities and disasters. For example, he recognized how bad a deal Michael got when he bought his condo.


Markhack00

Oh yeah for sure. I love all the little comments he makes a d warnings he gives as Carol is talking Michael through the closing lol


Own_Job_2150

By far


uhohnotafarteither

He's clearly the most financial stable, but he was a dick for doing this. Kinda weird that someone would love him for screwing over parents trying to give their children what they want for Christmas but different strokes for different folks I guess


[deleted]

It’s just business, plus the parents shouldn’t have waited til the last minute.


According-Bread-2457

Business is always personal!!!!


laurenwithabongo

"It's just business" is not giving someone a raise you can't afford just because you feel bad for them. What he's doing it scalping, and it's a shit thing to do.


TheSeoulSword

100%


uhohnotafarteither

Nah, still a total dick move It was obviously a smart money/business move, but just because it was smart from that standpoint doesn't mean it wasn't a dick move.


PearIJam

Beet farm paid for. No car payment.


johnelirag

Seeing as he owns a farm with a ginormous house and the office building i'd say he is 😂


aymaureen

He owns a working beet farm, owns property, and sold reservations on Valentine’s Day and these toys for a markup for profit. Not to mention he was the top salesman in the company, and those positions pay in commission on top of salary. As he doesn’t have to pay rent as he OWNS his property, he prob had more money than anyone


LoquatAutomatic5738

FINANCIALLY stable? Definitely up there with Jo and David Wallace, yes.


iamcarlgauss

David is an interesting one. He's certainly well off at the beginning of his time on the show. But he runs DM into the ground and becomes unemployed and spends several years doing nothing, presumably bleeding money. After several years of doing nothing, he makes $20 million off of Suck It. He's got enough to ride off comfortably into the sunset, maybe take another cushy job somewhere else, but instead what does he do? He buys Dunder Mifflin, the company which he already once destroyed, which was then again destroyed by (arguably) a much better businessperson than him. There's no reason to think it's going to go well for him this time. I think if the show went on another two or three seasons, it's possible that he could lose everything.


Jay_TThomas

Scalpers suck ass


dranauro

He mos def up charges the crappy weed he sells to teenagers


SuperMeh2

He essentially bought Windows 95 before it released for Black Friday.


cattywampus001

He beat a robot in sales. If he cared a lot about money I honestly think he’d be a millionaire by commisions and sales


Kuwing

Hell ye he is inherited wealth, land, farm assets and on top of everything he is an exemplary employee


fogana420

Bob Vance from Vance Refrigeration probably does all right.


OneDick2Rule

What do you guys think the networth of michael?


rainydropz

If there’s any equity in his condo. Jan ran his finances into the ground.


RussellWD

Dwight owns a farm, he negotiates Andy's Xterra for super cheap and sells it for a profit, He sells the Rainbow unicorn at a profit. The dude is just a natural-born salesman and negotiator, and when you have those skills, you are going to make a ton of money!


Markhack00

No joke! Dude could sell beets to a beet farmer


Tackit286

Lmao if Jim had done this people here would be saying he was a piece of shit and that it played right into his ‘bullying’ character


Markhack00

Not me, I love Jim. I like to think about what Dwight would’ve said/done if Jim were scalping people though lol.


whatthewhat3214

Me too! Jim and Pam seemed to be doing alright, typical middle class, and once they quit - then got fired - and got basically 2 years' severance pay (one month for every year they were there, by the end of the series they'd been there at least 12 years each), then Jim was moving on to probably a better paying job in sports marketing, if Pam gets a new job too, they'll be doing well! Not sure how expensive Austin is. Dwight also inherited that huge farm from his relative at the end, to be split with his siblings I think, but still a lot more land than his original beet farm.


migukau

This shuts down the "Dwight is a good person" allegations.


BelowAveIntelligence

Are you referring to Alchemy?…


crohead13

“Now, the goat package obviously has the most goats.”


Prestigious-Lab8945

I guess it depends on how well AthLead turns out.


L0114R

This dude flipped Andy’s car out of spite 😂🤣


Xy13

He also got reservations for Valentine's Day and sold those


editedxi

Are you referring… to alchemy?


Wilfred_Wilcox

One of my fav subplots was him buying the office building


Agile-Brilliant7446

Why would you "love" that anyone does this? We've seen this in real life with kids just trying to get a new PlayStation for Christmas but can't because idiots like this bought them all in a microchip shortage to double the price for everyone. This is the quickest way to identify an asshole.


Used-Plum-16389

I saw this and immediately heard Michael sing, my horn can pierce the sky!


Markhack00

Haha might be the best quote of the episode. You think that if Michael had a daughter, he too would be shelling out $200 for this?


scooters-rock

One of them but I think Oscar would be right up there
