Its about time I put another one of these. They just take a while to do and I don't have quite enough free time to do all the math and junk that goes along with this kind of thing as often as I'd like... but anyways let's find out if Ron Swanson is as filthy rich as we think he is.
![[Paris Olympics] Performance by Australia's Olympic Break-dancer Rachael Gunn breaks the internet](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/i1rl1KhKIjE/mqdefault.jpg)
A concise attempt to estimate my wealth, but it only takes into account my known activities
I would never have expected you to use your true identity on RUclips...
You got a new computer?
Hey Ron, how did you get that picture?
@@uregc9041 I wonder if Ron Swanson has a crisis of identity when he has to contend with the fact that in order to maintain his net worth in gold, he has to refer the value of his assets in pounds. He might as well move to London bruv... Get in Ron!
Yes, I am aware that I just mixed together two completely different types of London slang there...
I though hated the internet.
I think thats just a portion of his wealth considering how Ben reacted to the 5% of his wealth was
Eric Recentes he forgot about his cabins, not to mention how he makes money by woodworking on the side.
Hannugh he covered that in the video. The problem is that we never know how much he’s worth during the entire show. Ron is anti-government and very secretive.
Exactly
@@jonathanjames2162 he didn't cover it very well. He said the woodworking was a small amount but we also know that his chair nare highly sought after. We also know he had the ability to fabricate a harp, a canoe, and wedding bands by hand in a day. There's no reason to believe he isn't taking custom orders every weekend.
yep, he's Ron Frickin Ulysses Swanson, you never know
What about when he bought 51% of lagavoulin
That happens at some point in the future so we had to exclude it from the video
personally i think you are missing a few things... like the time he had a will made and the lawyer said his family would never have needed to work for their entire lives with the amount of gold he has... im just thinking,.... has to be alot more then what you came up with
Lagavulin*
Ron Swanson would never take out a loan.
Lagavulin is worth somwhere around $20M. To buy 51% he would need to have at least $10m cash.
Ron Swason would never have loans with the bank. Paying people for money is asinine.
You also make poor assumptions about his positions. Assume he goes from metal shop floor manager to a manager at the quary and then back to a senior manager at the metal shop. He would have also worked during college because up to this point working and school was done hand in hand.
There must be other factors to Ron's wealth, because when he has the will drawn up for his kids, the lawyer is extremely shocked, and says that trusts will need to be drawn up to handle such a large estate. I don't think the lawyer would be so surprised at $1.5 million dollars. His shock suggests it would be 10x or more that amount.
It would have to be something not mentioned in the show at any point
Jack B Nimble he could be surprised seeing Ron position and that quantity relatively to it not necessarily because of the amount
Season 6 episode 4
Mr. Ben yeah but not In the billions
You could make a trust that pays out 100k with only 1% interest at 10 million.
I think the part that suprised the accountant was that someone like Ron would have that much money.
You are not accounting for Ron's woodwork. He could be selling his chairs for thousands a piece.
Yes but he only makes 2 a year.
@@matthewgartner5339 But what about everything else? Canoes, tables, desks, and other wood furniture are mentioned throughout the series.
he does not want to sell it to people who will use it for anything other than sitting, and someone who will pay that much will probably not
He did in one episode
@@matthewgartner5339 yes but he was on that news letter, it might've been for way more after that
He's gotta be worth a lot more. He spent $10 Million on Lagavulin AND when he said he was leaving his kids 5% everyone was like WOW that's still a lot of money. 5% of 1.6 million is $80,000. That's just above one year's salary for the average American. He didn't want his kids to be spoiled so we know we didn't leave them 10's of millions but he had to leave them more than 80k. I'd say he probably left them a million based on the reactions of the people. Enough to be like "holy crap, that's 5 percent!" but not enough to live off of for your entire life, you'd still have to work. That would make his net worth $20 million which makes the $10 million Lagavulin purchase more reasonable. You forgot that Ron has multiple properties and hidden money. He def has more than 1.6 mil.
turkey shaver 1 Average salary in America is 60,000.
10% of 1.6 million is 160k. dumbass
@@justin.fairchild I believe he meant to write 5%
@@justin.fairchild Hahahahaha
The flaw in this video is the assumption that he went directly into public misservice after college.
I think he started a company which he lost to Tammy 1 in the divorce, or maybe for some other reason like regulation violation. But he had squirreled away a large portion of the profits.
Then he went into the Parks Dept either to reduce the amount of alimony paid to Tammy, or to stick it to the government which ruined his business.
Obviously all of this is unprovable. But its plausible.
You forgot when he gave Andy the Ron Swanson scholarship
it was 900 dollars not that much to make a huge difference
The "Ron Swanson scholarship" consists of paying for one community college class. That's going to be a rounding error.
@@davidszczepan5855 no shit
@@davidszczepan5855 he gave to April for free that cabin too and he paid for it 1200
He also bought 51% of the Lagavulin distillery in Scotland
It’s definitely more than that since the trust episode they say his kids wouldn’t have to work a day in their lives and $1.6 million is great but not never work money
Chris Pearaon if invested it would produce like 80k a year in interest without touching the principle
Also, with what we see of his mother, I think it's safe to say she died before the show ended, so add family inheritance...
Yeah but they said that about the 5% he was gonna give to his daughters not the whole this so it would have to be much more than that
Yhea I have to agree. I'm low income, making about 1100 a month. say 14'000 a year. say they got that for.. sixty four years judging on it starting when they hit 16 and they live to 80... thats still 900'000 EACH for the kids.. and thats 'low' income to boot.. so say... double or triple it to be 'comfortable'. 1.8/2.7 million each.. as 5% of his wealth.
Puts his net worth at closer to 36'000'000 / 54'000'000
1.6 million if you use wisely is enough .
You think Ron MFing Swanson bought a house that someone else built?
Exactly. He probably build his house, his cabin, and probably multiple others and sold them, since he worked at the sawmill. And he probably didn't pay any taxes his entire life, let alone buy a house through a bank.
@@JotaC he didn’t work at the sawmill he built the damn place
I will agree I actually know him and he's honestly the most down to earth kind of guy and I will say he's definitely one to do it himself.
Someone calculating how much Ron was worth is exactly what he feared
Doesn’t seem like much.
Ron: Exactly.
What about his Investments? He owns 51% of a Scotch company I belive
The last season takes place in 2017 and we hear about that when Leslie visits him in the future
Ok so we were not including that and his new Salary as a Park Manager/Ranger in this? Alright
Nope because that also takes place in the future
just admit u forgot
@@10KProductions I mean, we're in the future now and can look at the wages of the aforementioned new job that he has taken up
He also mentioned that one upside of the leatherworking job was that they would start paying him... so the sheet metal job wasn't paying him.
I was wondering if anyone was going to point this out
Ron also mentions precious gems he has stashed, he pays for Andy's college, and invest in a distillery. Also judging by his love of puzzles and treasure hunts, and propensity for burying his wealth, one can assume he has found some decent caches throughout the years. I imagine Ron as a solo "Goonie" type as a child.
Yeah... this is likely wrong, considering his total was enough to make sure his childREN, would never have to work a SINGLE DAY in their life... I highly doubt this is entirely accurate
Well this only takes into account what we actually know, and a lot is guesses, one thing Ron is famous for is that he doesn’t like other people knowing about his life and makes every effort to avoid giving away personal information considering what we know 1.5 mil is an impressive amount to pull from the small bits of information
@@AnneWest_ he also left enough gold to trick Tammy 1 into thinking she got half his gold, and Ron didn't seem to worried. And even though he said it was decoy gold Tammy 1 is smart enough to know fake from the real deal. So it's safe to assume she got away with real gold
These are the known activities, who knows what else he’s been doing
I must dissagre whit your conclusion about how much money Ron owns, since in the episode whit Rons will the layer Trevor says "Mr Swanson, an estate of this size means your children would never haft to work a day in their lives". And since the average american spends about 2.77 milion dollars in their lives means that ether Trevor is lying or that you calculated his wealth wrong. And untop of that later in that episode when Ron tells Ben that he is going to leave 5% of his wealth to each of his children Ben responses whit "Wow 5 whole percent, so i gess you are gonna theach them a lesson. OH MY GOD, thats 5%? That is a lot of money. Wait is this a joke?" Which means that even just 5% is a houmourus high amount of money.
They don't have to get 2.77 million dollars in order to live off the money. They could get a lesser amount (maybe a million each?) and live off of the interest. It's reasonable to get about 13% return annually on a million dollars, which is $130,000 a year. Anyone can live comfortably on that amount without ever working.
He is ignoring the episode where Ron restores the 3rd floor, singlehandedly doing the work of dozens of men at once, and likely in less time, as he has a job and family. This means that he could have leveraged his insane work output for higher pay.
Ron probably sell some exclusive wood work for some very exclusive buyers, given that episode where a local celebrity ran into Ron’s chair in some other celebrity’s house and called it the most comfortable chair ever.
exactly, when an ACCOUNTANT says "That's a lot of money" you're loaded
Oberon4278 13%??? In US we haven’t seen those rates since the 80s
In the episode where he tries to sell his house, he claims he owns 4 cabins, just so you know.
He said in the TV show, "never invest your money into a bank. "
Considering in the episode where Ben made Ron make a will with the lawyer or Ben saying his kids would never have to work a day in their lives, they either extremely exaggerated on how much gold was worth or Ron somehow got a lot of gold especially when he gave them 5% in his will and Ben was shocked by how much 5% was. I'd say in the show Ron probably had a few 10s of millions in total.
You misread 1976, meaning he had 420.0 oz of gold pre college..And now I love Ron even more
Conspiracy theory: most if not all of Rons gold actually comes from the mining job he had, which he kept through college and went back to after. They mine gold. Ron steals huge amounts and buys copious amounts of land (cabin land) which he fracks for gold and silver, creating his wealth. He uses this to launch his music career and becomes wildly sucsessful, and the only reason pawnee doesnt know about him is because they are uncultured (not too far fetched in my opinion judging by the shows depiction) he moves there in 2000 and starts working at the parks department because of his love of nature and the fact that no one there will recognize him
thesmurfiest smurf this is probably the best explanation
makes sense
Knowing how Ron values his honor, I doubt he would steal from job.
I agree with FerHardRocker. He might just have struck some sort of deal and gotten some good amount of gold.
Omg your pfp is a pug!!!! CUTE! 🐄💖
He’s definitely worth more but I can’t blame you sense Ron swanson hid most of his information from everybody
Well, he also has 3 kids that would "Never have to work a day in their lives", so just take retirement money (401K) and multiply that by 3, and then 3 again. I'm going to say he's a multi-millionaire.
Ron won't put money in a 401k because he wouldn't trust someone he doesn't know messing with his money.
@@lynisalive absolutely. he would be right, too.
Frank Reynolds from Always Sunny in Philadelphia next
Hey. Here you go.ruclips.net/video/ceIMfE-qLtY/видео.html
Ron said he didn’t get paid at the sheet metal factory, and he had a expensive wedding with Tammy 1
I remember him saying the wages from that to buy wood for a project
And he invested into rent a swag.
And Tom's Bistro
the amount of thought and research that goes into these videos is incredible! great content!
Donut operator and Nick Offerman look just like each other
Here’s a few things you didn’t total in:
Andy’s collage that he payed for
Woodwork
His cabins
His 3 children and the fact that is was mentioned that with his net worth they wouldn’t have to work a day in their lives
Inheritance from family
Andy took one community college course. That isn't going to be costly. $500 at most, probably less.
Regina Billotti Yes, but it still did cost money.
You should have included his equity in Very Good Construction. Also his 51% stake of Lagavoulin. His net worth is probably more like 3 mil tbh
Just by the quality of the inheritance lawyer and the shock factor by Ben stating 5% was still enough they’d never need to work in their life he is likely worth over 100m
Fact: Beagles Are Best I’d say 20-30 million dollars
@@davidszczepan5855 8 figure estates don't faze inheritance lawyers. It's probably close to the 9 figure mark
@@davidszczepan5855 I agree. $30mil would put 5% at $1.5mil, or $.5m for each kid. A bit low, but could be 5% each, not clear from the lawyer bit.
@@summushieremiasclarkson4700 $1.5mil for each kid, for sure they're set. Even if split 3 ways, half a million for each kid invested would yield some good interest. Considering they are young, that money would sit and collect for another 10 years or whenever they hit 18. I'd say that falls into the category of being able to live without working a day in their life. That's a pretty good head start on life with that chunk of change. Knowing Ron, he'd instill some good values and make sure the girls don't squander it.
Very interesting. This was legitimately a question I have asked many times. While not perfect, you definitely made a thorough attempt. Very impressive.
Ron had a truck... he mentions picking his date up in his truck, dancing to a Merle Haggard song before going to his shift at the quarry.
prolly gong to be the only remotely serious comment: A dollar in 1975 was 4.64 dollars in 2017, so... inflation is badass
True so if you round 1.6 mil to 2 mil and 4.64 to 5 then he will have 10 million dollars in gold alone
@@hunter343gaming2 right, which would make a hell of a lot more sense as in the final episode Ron buys 51% of lavagulin distillery which is approximately 12 million dollars xD
@@hunter343gaming2 plus he mentioned investing in businesses so he might hold some good stocks too.
Maybe he got a good deal on some of that precious Sweedums stock.
Ron seems pretty smart, he might get a prenuptial, also the second time he marries Tammy 2 it is like 24 hr.s I think he can get it annulled without paying anything
Richard Bullard I don’t think he would’ve told them about the money of at least he would’ve hidden it from Uncle Sam making it impossible for either Tammy to come for it.
Ron was not just an averagely successful CEO of his own construction company, he was also working as a consultant for Gryzzl in their bid to establish a presence in Pawnee.
So much work for the net worth of a fictional character.
That, my friends, is dedication!
If I may also add, when Ron is introduced to the lawyer by Ben. He reveals 5% of his total worth. To which Ben freaks out and the lawyer looks back to say something along the lines of "an estate this size means that your children would never have to work a day in their lives"
At least I am certain Ron is probably wealthier than Trump.
Your averge pawn shop clerk is richer than trump
In season 4 episode 16 he says he started working at the tannery (in addition to the sheer metal) because it paid...
I’ve got to think he has way more gold off the books and the doc, due to how freaked out Ben was when he saw Ron’s worth
Loved this and the Dwight one !
Keali'i Watanabe but it’s wrong though
The 667 dislikes are all people from eagleton
The dislikes are from people who see the obvious flaws in this person's video lol
“Investing the other 5% in... whatever a young Ron Swanson would do.”
That’s easy. Woodworking.
And fishing. It's like yoga, but I still get to kill something.
Was extremely surprised when I found your channel had under 10,000 subs. I was figuring it would be more in the range of a couple hundred thousand
I think you are wrong because in an episode when ron was getting a lawyer do his will the lawyer said "your children won't have to work a day in their life " and we can all say that 1 million dollars is a small amount for someone to say that it must be upwards of 10 million he's been collecting gold since 10-15 years old
That's only a decoy vid
Am I the only one hearing him say ‘goad’?
Bold of you to assume that Ron Swanson would pay taxes.
That’s what I’m saying.
my first job out of college in 2017 was for a software company specifically focusing on the sheetmetal fabrication vertical.. mostly aerospace n defense... great industry for real and glad the show paid homage to American Manufacturing
But he also has a Ton of other real estate doesn't he?
JudahDeNose he owns like 3 or 2 cabins
It’s free real estate
He is worth over 55 mill. Avg American spends 2.77 million in a life and therefore 5%=2.77 million
ron seems like the guy that would just pay the hose in full rather than take a loan
The only other problem is the fact that Gold was banned for owning until 1974.
He has to at least have 20 mill
He gave 5% to his kids and they got around the 1 mill Mark so 20,000,000*5%=1,000,000
Thats just what he has on books Ron seems the guy that would keep things under the table incase of things... XD but thats just me great videos
SO TRUE!
wazthatme Stegall he says repeatedly that he buries his gold so I doubt it's on the books.
Yes but when he puts money into gold its on the books.
This came out a year ago today, awesome
It's worth remembering Ron is a craftsman and would likely have bought a fixer upper house
What about the music company
I feel that there is WAY to much assuming in this video for it to be anywhere close to accurate
He built some guy's sawmill...
The fact that he tried to calculate Ron's wealth is hilarious. It's like trying to guess the title of a book and all you have is 2 letters.
why does he pronounce gold weird lol. or is it my speakers?
I was born ready.
I'm Ron f*doing Swanson
Your tech fucking nomad
You pronounce the word "gold" funny. Kind of like Homestar Runner. No criticism, it just makes me laugh more and more every time you say it!
The CEO portion only concerns salary, not stake in the company he founded and its profits.
Using that skyrim leather template xd
I think you missed a lot of asset streams. Should do a revision.
Reading through the comments, people have pointed out the obvious factors but I didn't see anyone mention the Swanson Farms and its many exports (including the speedboat cleaner scotch). Assuming Ron is an only child, all Swanson properties and their exports would also be part of his net worth. The speedboat maintainance industry is highly specialized so if Swanson Farms are contracted to serve even a quarter of the (privately owned) speedboat management companies in the country, that's a hefty, recurring sum. Plus the scotch is made from "the finest corn grown on American soil" which suggests that other produce borne of the highly specialised conditions within these farms are also fairly valuable.
Even if its 4 pounds of gold, that is at least $80,000, but Ron always sounded like he had a big stash of gold worth way more.
“10k productions” 2.9k subs
A boy can dream
Its almost as if the 10k is in reference to something else....
one more closer. keep going!
Oof
Now 4.3k Productions
What about his multiple investments with tom and others?
Dillon Fuksa He only ever invested in Tom’s company’s as said in S7 E12 . And all of his company’s fell through
@@jordonlatterner5925 I think he did that to throw off the public while the documentary crew was filming him. I'm sure he had a lot of investments into successful startups that made him a lot of profit, allowing him to buy more Gold than what we know about.
It’s gotta be way higher based off Bens reaction to “5%”
Season 7 Episode 4: 10 minutes in exactly, Leslie says she bought a fake land mine as a gift for Ron for his 5 year anniversary, then an angry Ron says he had that in his desk for 10 years. Ron stopped working in 2015 so Ron started working at parks and recreation in 2000, not 1980
10k Productions with 10k views lol
We’re doin it
What about the platinum he owns ?
when is it stated that he owns platinum
Palladium*
oipeee Season 4
I just subbed! Keep up the good work :-D
Ps: you remind me a lot of the film theorists
I’m like matpat if he got bad at his job
He owns a succesful construction company, that one must be worth a lot.
I stopped at the 2 min. mark to throw out some variables (I love these by the way) 1. you said as a child he would be provided for and have no expenses, I might differ, his dad was probably old school just like him, and was probably like, you are 5 self sufficient, get a job. that is probably why he had a job at 9, so his father probably only gave him what he needed til he could pay it back if he even gave him anything. example: if Ron thought he needed a bike to get to school and work, he would first see if he could afford it, if he couldn't should he ask his father for a loan, is his dad a hard ass, would he agree to a loan, his interest rate, etc. in the end I think Ron would see the bike was an unnecessary expense and continue to walk to school and work. 2. Perhaps his parents were beatniks like Ned Flanders' parents, he still might have expenses even at 9 to be the complete opposite of his parents.
this dude needs more recognition
RUclips not running ads 🤣 that’s funny EVERY video gets an ad on it
Ron Buys a house... Somehow I see Ron building his own house
He's probably built multiple houses and sold them off screen.
Having nearly 1.5 million in effectively cash on hand is not low 😂
TheMatroid It’s not as much as expected. The lawyer makes it seem as he has a very very very very large estate because he said his 3 kids would never need to work again and when ben was seen 5% of his wealth he was shocked like it was much much more.
thats not cash on hand.. the house, workshop, etc aren't liquidated funds..
Yeah but how do you buy 51% of lagavoulin with 1.5 million
Where’s the L in gold? He keeps saying gowd. Drives me nuts.
At 5:23 I did not realise Chelsea peretti from b99 was in P & R.
There's a lot of different factors though like the side woodworking jobs, different cabins that he owns and some Platinum that he also invested with.
Ron is the Dwight of Parks and Rec
Wolff More like the Stanley
They really aren't comparible, the only people from the office and parks and rec who are comparible are Ryan and tom
Pelle Meijer I would actually say that Leslie and Michael are actually comparable in the sense that in the first season they annoy their coworkers (and the audience) mostly but we see throughout the show that they are very likeable. They are also querky in a way that makes it hard for them to date normally, they both are weird in their own way and need to find a very specific person to settle down with. But when they find them it’s for life and they’d do anything to make that relationship work (Ben and Holly). They also consider their coworkers family and are work nuts (I know Michael is the not the hard worker Leslie is but he still lives and breathes Dunder Mifflin).
Other comparisons that could be made by extension:
Jim and Pam being Andy and April (office couple that took some seasons to work out but then are the first married and actually stay married)
Kelly being Dona
How do you only have 3000 subs?
Hey you gotta start somewhere. You can help by sharing our videos around!
You forgot to count the money he made with his performance as Duke Silver. That's why it's less than you expected.
One of the craziest ideas for a video, excellent, thanks. M.
I love your vids
Hey thanks!
My favorite part about this is the regular mistakes and dyslexia. And although the actual number doesn't really matter because it takes a lot of assumptions and leaps of knowledge, it's still an interesting video.
It's way more since the trust episode they say that his kids wouldn't have to work a day in their lives and 2.6 million is great but not enough for his children to never work again
during the will episode he does disclose that he has not only gold but also gems and jewls ... plus during the cabin sale episode he accidently mentions 4 other cabins ...
Season 7 episode 10 they have "The Johnny Karate Super Awesome Musical Explosion Show". During the commercials there is an add for "Verizon-Chipotle-Exxon" and it says "Proud to be one of America's 8 companies". That being said, Ron still is in charge of his construction company. that means he owns one of America's 8 companies making his pay significantly higher.
You forgot he built the local sawmill he mentions it casually when he trys to get that teenage girl an internship there.
Nah I'm guessing it's at least 500 million by the way the lawyer reacted.
very entertaining i just watched again, but i watched the episode the other day where ron goes to the lawyer to make a will and ben freaks out at what 5% is of his total worth
The cash from the Duke Silver smooth jazzz days must’ve been huge
Also let's not forget royalties from his Duke Silver music albums. He was a very popular musician too !
It’s always sunny, and Ron Swanson vids?! Yea, I subbed.
He did have a big wedding with Tammy 2 though, he says in one episode that "When the priest said repeat after me, i fell silent"
And you didnt put in the fact that he made alot of money from his "Good building company", but thats kinda hard i guess
