    Net worths of the GSRZ families 

    Summary:

    GSRZ = Greater Saratoga Resort Zone

    Chapter Text

    Lyons family: about $15 million (Jay’s job at Blake-Lyons Capital,land investments,some monetary handouts via Judi’s Kempthorne relatives. By 2020 or so,Claire’s teaching career will bump this up to just over the $18 million mark.)

    Blake family: about $140 million (generational wealth,Blake-Lyons Capital’s various endeavors,investments,etc)

    Marvil family: about $65 million (primarily generational wealth courtesy of Merri-Lee’s Kilbourne relatives but she gets much of it from the residuals of her TV show,Morning Moxie with Merri-Lee,and other reporting assignments she’s taken on in the past. Some of it comes from the financial investments of Ryan and Jamie Marvil as well.)

    Rivera family: about $740 million (a buttload of generational wealth,Len’s various cases and the residuals thereof,residuals from Nadia’s modeling career and money she generates from her artistic career, Alicia’s modeling career and some investments of her own,land ownership - these guys are the wealthiest people in Clifton Park.)

    Gregory family: about $25 million (just about all of this is generational wealth from the Gregory side plus Tony’s art and books restoration business,tho Marsha’s being director of Albany Medical Center helps as does some of the wealth coming from the Percy family’s many endeavors.)

    Ryan family: about $180 million (generational wealth,investments,various handouts - being involved politically certainly helps as well.)

    Fisher family: about $240 million (Fisher Enterprises generational wealth is about half of this,most of the other half being Farnsworth family wealth: the rest is mostly from various investments as well as some shares in Martin Marietta and some other aviation companies. By 2017 a lil’ bit of it comes from Cam’s bitcoin mining,but don’t tell him I wrote that!)

    Hurley family: about $180 million (these guys have so much generational wealth via the Hurley Foundation that it’s not funny. Tessa Hurley being a Prewett by birth and thus linked to the upper echelons of British society also contributes a fair amount of the family’s wealth).

    Harrington family: about $675 million (the Harringtons have been in America since the Revolution and having their fingers in numerous pies (railroads,cars,communications,agriculture,education,sports,some defense work) has only helped their wealth-building over the years. They’re Clifton Park’s second richest family,with only the Riveras ahead of them.)

    Abeley family: about $50 million (mostly new wealth and various investments but some of it is generational,land ownership and suchlike).

    Wilder family: about $135 million (beginning in the late nineteenth century,this family basically made Clifton Park. A steady stream of land ownership,lucky investments,intermarriages (not that kind,ha ha) and shareholding has kept them firmly in the green ever since.)
