A recent study conducted by economists has unveiled the jaw-dropping fortune of the McCallister family, known for their iconic roles in the 'Home Alone' film series. The research indicates that the combined value of their residences positions them within the top 1% of the affluent population in Chicago. Let's delve into the details of this remarkable revelation. 👇

"Home Alone" stands as a globally beloved classic among Christmas and New Year films.

The 1990 film narrates the story of Kevin, the eight-year-old son of the McCallister family, who is left home alone during the Christmas vacation as his family accidentally leaves for their trip. Kevin's solo battle against burglars becomes a central theme in the movie.

Particularly notable in the film are Kevin's clever traps set for the burglars and the McCallister family's colossal house.

Economists at the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank, as reported in a New York Times article, delved into researching the wealth of the McCallister family.

According to the research findings, the family ranks within the top 1% of the population in Chicago based on the value of their residences.

The estimated value of the house in the early 1990s is around 2.4 million dollars.

The annual income of the McCallister parents was reported to be $305,000 during that period, equivalent to $665,000 in 2022.

The popularity of the film and the wealth of the McCallister family have sparked fan theories.

Some theories suggest that Peter McCallister, Kevin's father, was involved in an organized crime syndicate.

A fan on Reddit pointed out that in the Todd Strasser-signed novel on which the film is based, Kate McCallister worked as a fashion designer, potentially explaining Kevin's access to models in the party scene.
