[Anerdyblackguy]

It had to be over or around 26 million dollars because in that episode when they made Geoffrey believe he won the lottery Carlton said to will

“ Man to have that money could you imagine would life be like to have that amount of money ( The Jackpot was 26 million). Wait, that’s what life is like.

Take that what you will.

Did he forget that uncle Phil had a very diverse stock portfolio? They had an episode that referenced Carlton being his stock advisor. Carlton was worried about their finances because he's greedy, and uncle Phil reminded about the stocks and said "my money makes money".

Uncle Phil is a role model in that regard

He was a judge making likely $200k+ a year. But this was decades after being a highly paid lawyer. Back in the 90’s that kind of salary went a long way especially someone who likely had $500k+ in savings and investments.

Uncle Phil likely benefit from the stock market booms of the late 80s and mid 90s that seen Black upper class become wealthy

That always rubbed me the wrong way Carlton didn't go to an ivory league school.

They didn't want to. Was their school a HBCU?

Had to be more. On top of the stock portfolios and investments mentioned, he was rich enough to bankroll Ashley's short lived recording artist career, buy Jazz's apartment building, afford Hillary's multi thousand dollar shopping trips, owned what felt like a handful of businesses, etc.

He was at the very least a multimillionaire with 8 figures in the bank and counting.

Could have been. Not sure
