You forgot the 6 dollars Walter and Jesse gave Saul in the desert.
lmao
Probably spent it at McDonald’s during his lunch break , he’s gotta eat tho.
What about all the times he makes someone put a dollar in his pocket?

Haha! I was waiting for someone to pick up on that.
God Almighty, the Creator was manifest in the flesh. He came into the world to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. This is the Gospel which means the Good News. Those that reject redemption will go to hell.
1 John 1:8-10 KJV
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
John 1:1-3,10 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Revelation 1:17-18 KJV
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Acts 4:12 KJV
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Ain’t this the actor Kevin Costner ?
Nice BCS reference lol
Blikii and breaking bad
Last night he was.
Ha.
At least he believes it.
Knowing Saul, I'd say he definitely has a sneaky system that allows him to go through dozens of clients per day while also profiting from some random bullshit.
He does, we see him doing exactly this in Season 5
@@Siyko what is it
Latest episode gave a good answer. Dude is literally constantly working. Cant turn off Saul anymore
@@wowzzz402 my guess is the deals he mades in the elevator with ADA Suzanne Ericsen..
His law office being full makes sense: Didn't he finish 20 cases once while stuck in the elevator?
good catch!
Saul did that in 20 minutes
not only that but not all consultations result in a case. He can charge a fee just to give simple advice. He could also take on a simple case and outsource some of the legwork to another lawyer or paralegal working in the background.
17 actually, the other 3 were finished the Tuesday after lol
If he manages to plead out a lot of his cases, it could save him a ton of time.
Saul does care about money, but I'm willing to bet he cares about helping out criminals more. He empathizes with them at some level.
I had the similar thought. That makes Jimmy/Saul even more moral than Chuck. Because Chuck and Howard protected "good" people, they despise people who make mistakes (for example episode "Winner"). And Jimmy is upset in season 1 because many see him as the lawyer for people who are guilty. But then he accepts this and protects those who is weak or/and marginalized. It begins with the elders. Forgive me the analogy, I think he is like Jesus who comes to the thieves and prostitutes. He even likes people who makes mistakes because they are more sincere and honest and it makes them more humane (again think about his speech in Winner to the girl with shoplifting charge). Jimmy hates hypocrites like Howard.
@@ffliegerbombe5163 dead on, damn.
He casually suggested to murder Badger instead when he was going to testify for a plea deal. That doesn't seem like much of the empathetic type to me.
@@edwardromo7914 thats later on, on br ba. People change
Agustin Fernandez there isn’t a period of time this that is mentioned.
At the end of the video you mention how Saul should have stayed to his "legal-ish side of the business" basically because he would've still made over a million per year and wouldn't have had to become Gene. I think that he involves himself in ilegal business not because of the extra money, but mainly because he likes doing it; working with Heisenberg and Gus makes him feel like back when he was doing ilegal things as Slippin' Jimmy. But anyways man, great video. I had no clue how much money Saul made.
Good point man, and thank you!
This makes a lot of sense, and is thematic with Walter in BB, who really did illegal things because it felt good.
He likes having control.
The whole reason he became a crooked man was because he couldn't force his father to stop handing out money to con men, so he figured if you can't stop all the people who are tricked in the world you might as well be the one tricking the world.
He was completely under the thumb of the legal system and every office he joined, but in breaking the law he broke the thumbs.
Yeah. In Better Call Saul, he had so many opportunities to make a lot of money legally, and he decided not to. He decided to do things *his* way even though he knew it would make less money.
@@jazzwell No he didn't, he started to work for the cartel mainly for the money.
After seeing the opening of season 6, Saul definitely has millions
Yeah I was shocked by his mansion, he most likely make a lot more than 180k a month
That mansion is especially fascinating because it's the first time we've ever seen Saul's private life in the BB era. But the gross decadence and gaudiness is very befitting of him - his gold toilet is even raised up steps as if to appear as a "throne", obvious pun.
But I must say Kim's place in BCS isn't bad at all. I'd happily live in an apartment like that.
That's the house that they've visited with Kim, and dreamed about buying a day. They opened that shower, i remember that well.
@@Rorther oooh it s the same one, did the seller gave the price or not I can’t remember ?
A lot of Saul’s cases get pleaded out, so he knows he’ll empty 90% of his waiting room by the afternoon. The rest might take a bit more work, but his knowledge of legal short cuts probably save him tons of time and effort.
He’s one of those lawyers who knows the law so well that he can site some lost case from 50 years ago and get his client off.
All while collecting his $4k fee.😈😈
Yeah and when he negociates with the DA he can get 8 to 10 cases off because he is prepared and knows the ins and outs of every case.
Some of them could also be dummy plants for him to launder money directly, just say you get people in for legal advice not even a case outright and bada bing bada boom
@@francargeric1 He sat in an elevator for 20 minutes and plead out 10 cases. That's 30 cases per hour. Do that 3 days a week for 2 hours per day and that's 180 cases a week.
960 cases a month and over 10,000 cases a year.
Seems doable for Saul.
The director, writer and producers pick up most of the client work.
The customers in the lobby are probably clients already and they are just coming back to check in
Or client to be, or clients with big families of 4 or 5 people...
That or a free consultation for 1 hour.
or paid client actors?
1:55 As Saul said in one the episodes in Season 5 when Kim asked him if he can handle so many cases: "I've got a system." It would just be interesting to know what that "system" exactly is. I'm guessing it has to have a lot of the typical "Slippin Jimmy" tactics involved.
We saw that he traps the city's attorney in hallways or elevators and uses those minutes to close cases.
also dont forget only less than 50 percent of those waiting will be taken on as clients.as soon as he finds out they have no money they are gone likewise when he tells them they have no chance they will leave.saul is not pro bono he wants the cash a lot of those waiting are clearly indigent so wont become clients.
@@mikekemp9877 No wonder he has so many people in his waiting room XD
@@mikekemp9877 he probably had some sort of payment plan option like most lawyers do, if they all required cash up front, they'd go broke pretty quick
@@danielbel67 its pretty clear in the saul segments of the latest series he wants cash up front.
One thing you forgot to mention is he's got pay for bus bench and billboards which are mentioned a lot in the show
Ah yes, you’re right!
Wait until you see his house
That face mask stock footage caught me off guard.
Same. Very Jarring.
You missed out on when Mike Jesse and Walt start their own distribution after his Fring dies
Saul gets a flat 10-20% per cook
Has anyone else noticed that the guy driving the car and drinking in Saul's commercial is the same guy that led Jessie's Rehab group leader?
And it gets even worse when you remember his backstory 😬
Good point!
Holy shit
Its not him, but merely a look alike
@@4chartown4 No, it's him
Saul also got 30% of all the meth deals and the 5% when Walt switched to the solo gig
Definitely low balled that estimate. Saw that solid gold toilet in the season 6 opener. Judging by the state of his house being raided, he had to be pulling a couple of times that.
The season 6 gives us a look at his luxury house.
There could easily be multiple people coming to see him on the same case. There are also going to be plenty of simple cases like DUIs that will only require one court appearance. There will also people to come see him who's cases he doesn't take. So there's nothing unrealistic about a well known tv lawyer having a full waiting room all the time.
How does he actually look younger in Better Call Saul than in Breaking Bad wtf
Makeup
Makeup + his new high profile rate money. Money buys almost everything.
You inject the money into your bloodstream and you become younger!
Kept his weight down in BSC. In BB he was heavier
Make up yeah but also less hair product, the natural floofier hair does miracles for him
I think the amount of people waiting every time you see him is accurate. Not all of them have a huge felony case they need to fight. Some will require small things, like Saul’s “other” services.
Ah of course, how could we have forgotten about his raging prostitutional side hustle
The people we see waiting to see him are only people _waiting to see him_ and not necessarily anyone he actually agrees to represent.
3:18 - Saul didn’t take the meth as income, the pound of meth was part of the deal and was confiscated by the cops
Anyone who has seen the newest episode, you know he was RICH AF. Gold toilet rich.
The gold toilet is even at the top of some steps, a "throne" indeed.
That whole house is so absolutely vulgar that it really befits him.
Wicked quality content bruv. You definately have the makings of a channel that can blow up in subscribers!
Saul does have a lot of old people waiting for him at the office.. That could mean that he is still into Elder law.. In that case he mostly needs to draft/modify wills which does not require much time since he is pretty used to it..
You're getting pumped up in the algorithm.
Grats man, great channel.
In one of the breaking bad minisodes, they show you that Saul wastes time while clients are waiting to make it look like he’s in higher demand than he actually is
Saul should be loaded since he was a minor partner (I think 17% from Jessie and 5% from Walt). As far as I know, that involves all the money they made from the meth business and that partnership never did get dissolved so Walt's $90 million was after Saul took his 5% cut.
Saul still has to pay for his business and his shady criminal partners, his taxes and other miscellaneous expenses. I think Saul having 5 to 8 million dollars is an accurate estimate.
He ended running away after Hank's death with what looked like 500,000 dollars in cash. The rest of his money was definitely taken by the Government like Mike.
Saul definitely could have made 500,000 a year after taxes and expenses just by being a shady lawyer without working with Gus or as he knew him a guy who knows a guy who knows Mike.
Subbed after watching this and Jesse's videos, amazing Job!
You put a lot of work into this. Subbed.
Saul comes across as a character who takes the most unexpected road which can cause more conflict to resolve his problems. It’s like he wants to do what’s good and just in the most twisted upside down way
This again shows how excellent and accurate the script writing is
You have to remember that Saul isn't a criminal lawyer... he's a _criminal_ lawyer.
So glad I stumbled upon your channel
Dude you deserve way more views and subs, after watching this I expected you to have like 500k subs, keep at it bro I guarantee you’re gonna blow up

Great video really interasting!
Such an underrated RUclipsr you’ve earnt a subscriber
From me too 🙂
Earnt
Would love to see this redone now because we know better how much he takes on at once and other details we didn’t know 2 years ago
Saul probably did tons of consultations, but didn't necessarily take on every case. I'm sure the majority of the people coming through his door had totally frivolous cases.
Sub'd. I've been binging your "I Am Worth" series. LOVE IT!
It is hard to know how much Saul really makes, a lot of cases boil down to the reputation of the lawyer. In one instance a defendant would have doubled there settlement offer if Johnny Cochran had of joined the applicants team. Prosecutors probably know if they don't settle with Saul they will be made to look silly if front of a judge so they let the guys go on any pretext.
This is awesome!
About the case when Saul got somebody else to do the time for Walt, he didn't actually get paid a pound of meth, as stated in your graphic, the pound of meth was actually what was sacrificed to the DEA for the bust. Thats why Saul says, " it'll only cost you $80,000 and a pound of your finest meth." Because they needed the meth for the bust. Cheers 😊
PS--liked and subbed! Your channel is undersubbed, great content!

I'd always thought that jimmy in-n-out wanted it for prison but that makes much more sense.
Good video
It’s shocking how well your videos are but only have ~2.7K subscribers
Mr. NoName were the og’s lol
DESPITE BEING A BUNCH OF SPECULATION -- this is extremely well-researched and makes a fantastic argument. Very, very interesting video. I loved what you did here. If you can make this time speculating on the Sopranos, the only show that is better than Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, I'd be tickled pink... or blue...
Thanks man! I would love to but unfortunately I have not seen Sopranos, so I can’t make a video on it soon. But, I’ll definitely keep it mind for the future.
Cough cough The Wire cough
@@shawntopher6262 This guy definitely spelled The Wire wrong.
Some clients only need advice or guidance/consultation, not all clients are criminals or convicts. This makes the line in the waiting room more realistic.
Great video, I think it was well- researched. I would make a few amendments. First is I imagine Saul pays his taxes since he's very aware not to raise alarms with the IRS, which would not be insignificant, given how much he makes. Second is the extrapolation of how much he makes on regular clients. If you take the conservative assumptions you made based on the scenes of his office lobby, it makes perfect sense. But I don't know that the director of these scenes really stopped to think about this level of realism and just went for filling a room to showcase the type of clients he has. Their honest oversight would be a bad place to start when making assumptions about his earnings. I also haven't watched in a while, but I remember in Better Call Saul he's extremely hard working and puts tons of effort on his cases so I don't know about your assessment of his corner cutting.
Great points!
Here before it goes viral.
You got the subscribe from me your channel is really underrated
You didn’t factor in Kuby for employees. He hasn’t showed up in better call Saul but he was one of Saul’s guys in breaking bad.
It's possible that a good chunk of all of those people waiting to see Saul end up getting declined by him
Need more better call saul asap!
1:10 remember he charged only $1 for the initial consultation.
Law student here, just so you know the people in a lawyers office are not an indication of cases. Most issues are resolved without ever going to court, and the majority of clients only require legal advise, not representation. So the number of people in his office is touched up, but that is no indication on how many cases he takes on. Typical consultations are charged at 150-200 USD per hour, depending on where you are at and whar lawyer you have chosen.
10 cases a week is not humanly possible, even in show about a made up lawyer. Criminal cases can go quicker than other cases, but still anything more than 3-4 a week is not realistic at all. Also a single case requires more than 4 hours, in criminal ones this would usually be around 10 hours to a few weeks (keeping in mind the exceptions on big cases and appeals which may take a year, or more).
I think the 10 case should include consultations and the numbers still work if that is taken into account.
So 5 cases and 5 consultations. He pleads out 3 and works the other 2 over a longer period of time.
$15,000 for cases (he only charges $4000 for felonies and I doubt all his cases are felonies) and (assuming Saul charges a low number for consultations $100 per consultation) $500 for consultations.
That's $15,500 per week. $62,000 per month. Minus expenses and taxes that's roughly $650,000 a year just as a shady lawyer. Again if Saul works through more than 70% of his clients through consultations and plea deals this makes sense to me.
Walter had $90 million of his own money and Saul's cut was 5%. That's roughly 4 million dollars plus 800,000 from Jesse equals roughly $5 million. He probably got another $1 million from both of them while they worked for Gus. So 5 to 8 million number of the money Jimmy earned as Saul is somewhat accurate.
After watching season 6 episode 1 i think Saul worth will be much more
I'm glad you said season 5 episode 4 before talking about Better Call Saul, else I'd have been spoiled :)
he hey iam late to the party, i just realised that nowadays your viewcounts have gone up and your gus fring video is already at 23K and this is just a day or two to 5 or even 10 k i just want to say congrats and just want to say maybe these type of video is the one that would propel you to youtube high ranks.
Thank you so much man, I couldn't have done it without loyal subscribers like you! Let's hope for the best moving forward!
@@LogicallyAnswered yeah all of the figure ive said is a penny change compared to what you actually deserved. you deserve more and hopefully the forward is near
man walt coulda had his longed for empire through the car washes if he didnt leave that damn book in the shitter lol
The average rates charged are of 2021, keep in mind that the better call Saul is set in the early 2000s, so adjusted to inflation it’s much higher
What i find interesting is that at the first episodes of this 5th season Kim ask how did Saul handles so many clients... And he said "i have a system"... I would like to know what system is xD
They literally show it in one of the next few scenes. He collars prosecutors and judges and hammers out deals. Is it the best outcome for the client? Sometimes, maybe. Does it pump out the cases (for both Jimmy and the court)? definitely.
In the episode you mention he ambushes the reluctant judge by sabotaging the elevator and she relents due to being 'stuck'.
Those people waiting outside in his office are just undercover security
Really $4000 for a felony case is quite normal. Believe it or not, that’s actually pretty cheap
Great video. One thing you’re incorrect when it comes to Hue. Saul clearly keeps him around and other people as personal gowns to assist with illegal activities. Hence why in season five they had no problem helping Heisenberg hide items. I’m pretty sure Hue on paper is simply just a security guard but again he’s essentially Saul Goodman‘s personal bodyguard who is supposed to be there for him at any time and does lots of shady/illegal things that are clearly not supposed to be done by a security officer.
I always saw him as Saul's friend whom he gave a job because they were friends, seeing as he's pretty much useless as a bodyguard aside from the pickpocketing
what the, you spoiled the shows for me. thanks a lot.
RUclips, wtf, give a man his viewers
Re the cost of the adds:
1) The $450/spot cost was for adds during good airtimes (middle of the afternoon) targetting the elderly, which probably more expensive than during the late night when most of his ads probably ran for the target market of lowlifes and criminals he was after.
2) With a plan run 4 ads/day, Saul good have probably gotten a heavy discount for committing to run so many ads, probably as much as 20% the smaller-package price.
Together, this suggests that the estimate of $54,000/month probably overstates Saul’s actual advertising cost by as much as double or more.
The tumb nail is a physiological question
i seen lawyers do 4 case in one day in different courts they just move from room to room
1:10 “miskellanious” if you didn’t hear it before you can’t unhear it now
Maybe Saul could take all of those clients because he had the help from his silent partner, Kim...
There was no easy way out for Saul, as soon as he chose corruption, the Evil caught up.
I just had a local lawyer add on this video
Just because he consults doesn't mean he takes the case.
How does this chanel only have 3000 subs?
Nice video 🙂
Let's not forget that Saul gets a cut from mike,jesse and walters new operation
I think when so many people was in the waiting room they was waiting for him to be a middle man for another deal, not just legal defense.
Awesome videos bro. But please use a good mic. Your voice has too much bass.. Its really hard to understand sometimes.
That picture that they show which I think was supposed to be a younger photo of the guy who goes to jail for them looks exactly like John Krazinski
We just got to see Saul's house and yea he's definitely well off $$$ wise
My interpretation of all of the people in his office were people waiting to apply to have him be his lawyer since they know he is good.
*Plot twist* :
The big lines of people waiting to meet him are just people he got to act like they are his clients, giving you a show of attention and respect by coming in before them.
3:16 the pound meth wasnt a cut for saul, it was used for the setup to make the deal look more realistic
Good analysis; just goes to show you, crime don't pay enough to be worth it; if your a lawyer.
Saul made 5% of everything Walt was involved in from the time he started working with Fring. And it stands to reason that he got his cut of the $80mil Walt made as well.
When Walt, Jesse and Mike got in business together after Fring and they were counting and splitting up their money after the first cook, Saul's cut was a part of it. Stands to reason that it that remained all the way until Walt retired.
What this means has Saul made plenty of money over his time in both shows, especially with Walt, with whom he made millions.
Even if he "only" got 5% of Walt's $80m in the desert, that's still $4m. Not exactly small change and in New Mexico you can do a hell of a lot with that kind of cash.
Give me $4m and you'll never hear from me again. I'd invest it wisely for a steady lifetime income.
The hours and hours you must have spent watching it so closely to take down any information is mind blowing!!!!
Haha, thank man! It's definitely a grind.
I think he could do lots more cases seeing these cases are mostly low rent possession cases/petty theft/prostitution types that he can blame on poverty/addiction ect and get clients off or at least reduced sentences. New Mexico has the lowest incarciation rate for drugs when measured in months. not to mention being a border state. the police would be more focused on higher level dealers/smugglers.
Very possible
@@LogicallyAnswered In Better Call Saul it was clear the ADA that opposed Saul in later seasons was eager to prosecute the Salamancas after Tuco fought Mike. It's obvious the ADA hates Jimmy because he told Mike to lie about whose gun was found during the fight. The ADA knew Hector intimidated Mike to lie but had no evidence.
In Season 5 when she pleads roughly a dozen cases on the elevator for Saul she clearly doesn't care or show interest. To me the ADA wants to prosecute higher level criminals like the Salamancas.
after all these videos, basically:
this Show was a battle between Millionaires and Billionaires ... LOL...
5-8M makes sense since a promo for Better Call Saul S6 had a wanted poster for Saul and the bounty is 5M.
You assume people in the waiting area are either new clients or not there for the free first consult.
You forgot to mention Sandpier. He was set to make 20% from that case.
He never got the money, not in any of the episodes of BCS that have been released to date
He also played Superman father in MOS.
Spending 1/3 of costs on ads for Saul's legit work seems really high.
this guy sounds exactly like walt jr
He probably just hires the waiting customers for marketing purposes and sneaks in a couple protection guys to be sure
