The short answer is yes. Despite departing on acrimonious terms, Walt gave Jesse a lump sum of $5M, when he walked away from the meth business.
and says that he is going to send money to Jr.'s friend Louis, who should give it to Jr., who should give it to Skyler. However, an enraged Jr. refuses, tells his father to hurry up and die, then hangs up. Walt coerces Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz to place his remaining $9.72 million in a trust for Jr.
WHAT DOES WALT HAVE LEFT TO BUILD AN EMPIRE? $3,375,000 Walt's total earnings for 6 mo.
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.
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.
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.
Just as Walt is about to leave, an associate of Gus named Victor blocks him from exiting and tells him to deliver the meth to a truck stop within the next hour in exchange for $1.2 million cash. Walt rushes to Jesse's apartment and breaks in while Jesse and Jane are in a heroin-induced haze.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
At the end, he netted something like $80 million that he buried in barrels. He was able to keep $10 million of it, which he gave to Elliott and Gretchen with strict instructions that they use it to set up a trust fund for Walt Jr. The other $70 million? Stolen by the Nazis.
Walter White's Million Dollar Barrels
The last barrel they left in Walter White's possession in Breaking Bad was almost 11 Million Dollars.
White accepts a $43,000 a year job teaching high school science in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Forlorn by his jaded students, he longs for the glory days when his research contributed to a Nobel Prize in proton radiography (though he resents that, unlike his fellow researchers, he never became rich.)
Ok, so initially, Walt needed $737,000. After working on his own and then with Gus, how much money did he have? There was a vague estimate of his NET earnings in 'Gliding Over All' but that was about it.
Meanwhile, as an excuse for his money, Walt decides to donate the money to himself through his son's new website. Just as Skyler goes into labor, Walt has to deliver his 38 lbs. of meth to the wholesaler who has agreed to buy the lot for $1.2 million.
He manages to rouse Jesse long enough to find out where the meth is hidden. While scrambling to meet Fring's deadline, Walt learns via text message that his wife, Skyler, is about to give birth. With no time to spare, he makes the hard choice, earning the $1.2 million and missing the birth of his daughter.
She didn't get it. That's one of the reasons he left when the DEA showed up at the park: he needed his buyout from Walt if he was going to set her up.
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. It's not until the last season of Breaking Bad that viewers learn just how much cash their favorite meth-making anti-hero has accumulated by cooking crank.
Jesse isn't a very effective informer however and is quickly in over his head. Walt goes back to work but not all is going smoothly. Walt's story starts to unravel when Skyler gets a call from Gretchen Schwartz and she thanks her for paying for Walt's treatment.
But he can't take Elliot's money because of his pride. Walt chooses to do the treatments but pay for them himself, which leads to the inevitability of making meth. By the final season of Breaking Bad, Walt finally admits to Skyler that he didn't pursue the money for his family anymore — he did it because he liked it.
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.
Even his wife Skyler White used the income to clean up messes like the $621,000 needed to pay off Ted Beneke's IRS problem. 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.
In popular culture. In the episode "Abiquiu" of the US TV series Breaking Bad, the character Gus Fring, a prominent Chilean methamphetamine distributor in the southwest of the United States, prepares a paila marina for Walter White while explaining the origin of this typical Chilean dish.
