Plus even by early 90s standards the dad was loaded. I mean look at their house in a rich suburb in Chicago, the fact that he paid for his and his extended families christmas vacations to Paris and whatever the other place was supposed to be. His family was rich too. He had a brother or something that lived in France and another that had a place in NYC under renovation.
In the 90’s that was middle class (upper middle class). Now it’s rich. Oh how the median has fallen.
Nah that house was a mansion in the 90s too. It showed up in the news a while ago for $5.5 million because it’s a giant house in a nice part of Chicago. That guy was definitely in the 1%.

I honestly can’t believe so many people thought Home Alone was about a middle-class family.

No wonder young people are mad. They genuinely seem to believe everyone was wealthy in the 80s!

Well, I mean, I consider owning a studio apartment to be wealthy so…
