No. Walt's business provided Walter Jr with a lifetime of financial security. Walt's business cost Walter Jr his stable family, his uncle, his home, his possessions, his dignity, his reputation.
Skyler launders the money to Ted by having Saul claim his Great Aunt in Luxembourg left it to him in her will. Ted however wastes it by buying a new car and plans to reopen the business. Skyler confronts Ted about it and reveals she gave him the money.
In the series finale, Skyler is shown living in a government safehouse, working as a taxi dispatcher under her maiden name, and serving as the focus of a criminal investigation for her role in Walt's drug empire.
He ended up leaving them 9+ Million, I think he was happy with that. Maybe towards the end he was doing it for himself, but at the beginning it was mostly for the money and possibly a little for the thrill.
Jesse then finds Todd's stash and the money is split evenly between him, Neil and Casey. One-third of the money from Todd's stash plus Skinny Pete and Badger's contributions adds up to $248,200, since Ed required $250,000, and Jesse Pinkman was $1,800 short.
Skyler walks in on Walt, and, when Walt asks about the missing money, discloses that she gave the money to Ted to pay off the IRS. Walt screams in agony, before breaking down laughing as a frightened Skyler backs away.
During Ted's interview with the IRS, Skyler shows up as an incompetent airhead who was hired for her looks only and fools the IRS agent into dropping charges if Ted manages to pay up to $600,000 in back taxes. Skyler launders the money to Ted by having Saul claim his Great Aunt in Luxembourg left it to him in her will.
After Breaking Bad
In an interview, show creator Vince Gilligan confirmed that Walter Jr. eventually received his father's drug money through Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz, which he had arranged beforehand.
Gus is pleased with the quality of Walt's blue meth and offers him $3 million for three months of his time to cook more in a high-tech "superlab" hidden under an industrial laundry that Gus owns. Walt initially refuses, but Gus eventually convinces Walt that he should cook for his family's financial security.
Walter White may be fictional. But the $80 million profit he turned by selling meth in less than a year is a very realistic sum for a true-life drug kingpin.
The $9.72 million and some change Walter White was able to salvage after being robbed of most of his drug money by Jack and his crew ended up with Walter Jr., not Skyler.
upon receiving the $9.7 million in cash. Gifts are never subject to income tax to the recipient under Section 102, and from a gift tax perspective, it is generally the donor who bears the tax consequences. Elliot and Gretchen, upon establishing the trust for Walter Jr., would be required to pay any gift tax.
In the end, Hank's body was returned to his family and Walter was killed after seeking vengeance on Uncle Jack.
Even as her marriage crumbles, Skyler permits Walt to take care of Holly and defends some of his actions to her lawyer, who advises that she leave Walt immediately. She later finds that Walt has signed off on their divorce and left the house for good.
Walt arranged to have the money come from Elliot and Gretchen “in memory of” Walt. In this way, there would be no proof that it was drug money (which could be seized by the DEA), or that it actually came from Walt (which Walt Jr. would likely refuse).
In the last episodes of Breaking Bad, Walter's fortune of 80 million dollars is split among 8 barrels of money. He buries it out in the desert to ensure that it can't be used as evidence against him by the police.
That said, season 5 revealed that Walt earned over $80 million in cash, which he kept in a storage unit. Jesse, however, was left with $5 million that Walt gave him out of guilt.
For his son, Walter left a sum of 9 Million dollars as a parting gift. Walter then started walking on his path of revenge and make sure Jack's White Supremacist gang pays for what they did to him.
WHAT DOES WALT HAVE LEFT TO BUILD AN EMPIRE? $3,375,000 Walt's total earnings for 6 mo.
Actor RJ Mitte rose to fame at the age of 14 when he was cast as Walter White Jr in cult series Breaking Bad. He has cerebral palsy and was bullied when he was younger because of his disability.
Walt spent 23 days in the care of the Others. Walt is one of the five original Main Characters still alive at the end of the series. Walt is also one of the few confirmed Oceanic Flight 815 survivors by the end of the series, along with Zach, Emma, Kate, Sawyer, Claire, Aaron, Hurley, Cindy, Rose, Bernard and Vincent.
U-Store-It is a self-storage facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. One of its units was rented by Skyler White to store the ~$80 million fortune earned by her husband, Walter, from manufacturing and selling methamphetamine.
But what Skyler did of her own accord – giving all that money to Ted so he could pay off the IRS and thus keep them off the scent of the White's illicit activities – came out of nowhere to provide the ultimate bit of dark, cold, comedy.
In Breaking Bad, does Hank feel respect/sympathy/forgiveness for Walter just before he dies? Yes. Forgiveness may be a stretch, but certainly some degree of understanding. It's my favorite scene in the series.
