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.
In Season 5 Episode 8 of the show, we realize that Walter had initially sought to have a stake in the drug business because he wanted to have a goal of a menial $737,000.
He knew the money he had organised for his family at the end would be more than enough to take care of them for the rest of their lives. At the end greed didn't factor, so he didn't care about the rest of the money.
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.
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.
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.
It belonged to a man scared of Gus Fring, scared of Tuco Salamanca, scared of chemotherapy, scared of cholesterol. So, after taking a long look at his porkpie, he sells the car to the mechanic for fifty bucks — a dollar for each year of his previous life.
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.
After insisting for five full seasons that everything he did, he did for his family, Walt finally confesses that all of his actions were entirely self-motivated.
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.)
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.
Plot Summary (2) Walt and Skyler have a baby girl. Now that Jesse is hooked on heroin, Walt refuses to give him his money until he gets clean. Meanwhile, as an excuse for his money, Walt decides to donate the money to himself through his son's new website.
At the end of El Camino, Jesse had more than $230k in cash and a 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser (the movie is set in 2010). When Skinny Pete asks Jesse if he has any cash, Jesse says no. He and Badger then give Jesse approximately $8,000 in cash.
For eagle-eye viewers, AMC discreetly revealed just how much money Walt has earned in a behind-the-scenes video showing the making of season 5, episode 10. The about section for the video reads: "Welcome back to Tohajiilee! The cast and crew of Breaking Bad shows you how to bury 80 million dollars in the desert."
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.
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, the trained scientist, calls himself “Heisenberg” after the Heisenberg Uncertainly Principle by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg, who posited that the location and momentum of a nuclear particle cannot be known at the same time.
He has cerebral palsy, as manifested in speech difficulties and impaired motor control, for which he uses crutches.
In the final scene, Hank figures out that Walt is Heisenberg while perusing Walt's copy of “Leaves of Grass” on the toilet. The book is inscribed: “To my other favorite W.W. It's an honor working with you.
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.
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.
Why didn't Walt Jr take the money? He knew the money he had organised for his family at the end would be more than enough to take care of them for the rest of their lives. At the end greed didn't factor, so he didn't care about the rest of the money.
He sits down several feet from the car and calmly calls a cab as he waits for it to explode. Walt does this just to defy his wife Skyler, who has asked him—quite reasonably—to return the car so that it doesn't attract attention to their money-laundering car washing business.
The Aztek – one of the most boring cars ever made was one of the first vehicles established right in the pilot episode of Breaking Bad – much before the birth of 'Heisenberg'. It was chosen to depict the 'baby boomer', lame and pathetic side of Walter White. The Pontiac Aztek stood up as a beacon of failed dreams.
Walter ended up with zero, as he gave $970,000 to Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz to put in an irrevocable trust and Jack and his crew stole the rest.
