[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I really want to know is how rich Lorelai was. She’s 32 when we meet her, and owns a SFH in a “good” town in Connecticut (aka crazy property taxes). She’s lived there for at least 5 years, so since she was 27 or younger, while working at a bed and breakfast. She eats out multiple times per day. [/quote]

Do they ever address whether Lorelai got child support from Christopher? I don't remember.  I think we're supposed to think she just saved up from her job at the inn and bought the house.  It's not impossible - she had free room and board at the inn, right? And she started working there at 17, so 10 years to save up for the down payment.  It's a pretty small house and the town is not supposed to be fancy (although it is very nice and apparently an easy drive to Choate and West Hartford).

I mean, I think it's pretty unrealistic but in the show's universe it is at least possible[/quote]

Yes, somewhat plausible in that area of CT in the 1990s assuming she was living rent free at the inn, and receiving some support from Christopher which I don’t believe was ever addressed but since there is no contentious relationship between him and lorelai, kind of just assume.

The Gilmores seem like old money. My guess is $50-$75mil net worth. Some of it from richards successful enterprises but much of it from inheritance and his or Emily’s own trust funds. [/quote]
