Home Alone: How Rich Was The McAllister Family
Home Alone is a favorite movie of many this time of year and a question on some people’s mind is: How rich was The McAllister Family?
Home Alone has been one of my favorite Christmas movies ever since I was a kid. It was on Thanksgiving every year after dinner at my Grandma & Grandpa’s house that we would watch the first one and then on Christmas Eve after we opened presents, we would watch part 2. It’s still a movie that 34 years later holds up and remains a film I have to watch each year. Of course, the movie focuses on Kevin, who was left behind while his family went to Paris to take on the Wet Bandits.
And some can’t help but think about the fact that there had to be some cash in the family for them all to go overseas for Christmas and to live in that big house. So just how rich was The McAllister Family?
Home Alone: How Rich Was The McAllister Family
I just went on a trip to Mexico last week by myself and know what I paid for that. Let’s just say between airfare and a nice resort, it wasn’t cheap. But to take a family with 11 kids to Paris? I did a simple Google search and while this would be a last minute flight leaving on Christmas Eve, each nonstop flight from Chicago, where The McAllister Family is from, would be a minimum of $1900 each. So just the flight is pricy, not to mention a hotel and food and drinks while you’re there.
Let’s also talk about the house. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs myself, so this is a house I’ve had the pleasure of seeing with my own eyes. It’s located in the town of Winnetka, which is one of the most expensive in the entire country. According to Zillow, the home has a sale pending for $5.2 million. That would mean a monthly payment of over $37,000.
We don’t know exactly what The McAllister’s did for a living, but according to WFLA, there is some speculation that Kevin’s mom was a fashion designer and Dad was a businessman. Uncle Rob was the one who actually booked the flights, remember they were first-class, so he obviously has some cash in the bank as well.
Merry Christmas ya filthy animal!
