can we calculate how much money tom nook actually has in Animal Crossing New Horizons?

[@klemchowder1692]

Tom Nook canonically donates 90% of his money to an orphanage in another city, presumably where he adopted Timmy and Tommy from. Maybe his business practices lean towards unethical at times, but he's not hoarding his wealth. Who knows, maybe the villagers who move in with you at the beginning were orphans that Tom decided to help out.

[@thatminecraftrealmsguy9762]

No he actually only donates money so he can evade taxes

[@goopyfaerie]

that's if he does it though because a lot of dialogue indicates that his donations may be a bit sketchy

[@asprinjuice425]

He will still be mire ethical than any landlord in real life

[@Captain_Fish12]

the acnh Nintendo switch is 35,960 bells. In the real world an acnh Nintendo switch is 37,980 Japanese yen so a Japanese yen is 1.06 of a bell. So the fully upgraded home is 5,424,761.90 yen or 38,459.85 in us dollars.

[@little_finger]

that's cheap

[@MakusinMeringue]

Less than 40k for a home??????? Nobody should be complaining for that price

[@justicetubes]

Rip mat pat he made a video about if Tom was a crook

[@elijahdelacruz3204]

“I’d love to see Tom Nook appear on Shark Tank and explain his business model” Same here 😂😂

[@AnActualRealPotato]

One thing you are forgetting about is that the player's island probably isn't the only island canonically owned by tom nook. While he might not get *as much* money from each island, and maybe there aren't *really* 4 million islands or whatever... but if we consider that timmy and tommy show you some islands at the start and also ask you if you want to be in the northern or southern hemisphere, there is the implication that Nook owns a bunch of land he is flipping to a lot of people. Plus, he must have a lot of capital to start this operation in the first place, left over from the previous games. While his operations in your player town in prior games are very... well... local, he might make a killing elsewhere. So in short, I don't think you can acurately calculate how much money Tom Nook has. It is nice to know how much of a profit he is making off of my dumb ass, though

[@everest5718]

My worst enemy…. MATH. Also, considering the irl business people we have to deal with, Tom Nook looks like a damn saint in comparison XD

[@Kyonari]

I wish Nook had a Monopoly here too then I could afford a House

[@Easyrider217]

So true I feel you

[@catroverted]

Just a heads up that there is a lot of volume issues going on in this vid. For example at 18:07 the audio gets really quiet and then gets loud again. I tested it on multiple speakers and browsers and it's very unlikely a problem on my end. No hate at all. I thought you would want to know so you can look into it on your end :) Still enjoyed the video though!!

[@zoebelle8970]

So, since Nook covers the initial island getaway package and you don't pay until you upgrade to a real house, hypothetically, you could go the island, have a sweet vacation, and go home at no cost?

[@JacksonDevices]

Well, we never are given an option to go home.

[@The-Ginjaninja]

In new leaf, all the other villagers talk wbout how their house is bought from Tom Nook too.

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

He probably makes enough money that Mr krabs would be jealous

[@rosegoldhiips]

I kind of figured the bells in Animal Crossing were calculated similarly to Japanese yen because Kicks sells things for between like 400-2,400 bells or something in a given sitting. Something like 2,400 bells for a pair of shoes or pants, I wouldn't think $24 USD for those things in the real world would be outrageous so I just imagine a decimal in front of the 00s or 99s in those prices.

[@PotooBurd]

I enjoy this so much! Amazing content, best wishes to you and your future projects! 🌻

[@Lotusxurl]

I'm surprised that the nook miles paid in the beginning of the game wasn't converted to bells😂since you can exchange nook miles for bell vouchers haha

[@kierenbuckley370]

2024 is almost here I'm hoping for a new AC spin off or a remaster of a older AC game, Animal Crossing need something while we wait for the next main game

[@little_finger]

city folk should be remastered. The biggest problem was the Wii controls. If you fix that, up the graphics, bring new features and qol improvements, you can have the definitive old school animal crossing pre mayor experience.

[@Kyonari]

agree@@little_finger

[@The-Ginjaninja]

​@@little_finger Don't use the touch and point controls. If you use a nunchuck it is likely the 2nd best to control in the whole series, behind New Horizons.

[@thegoodiegames6595]

Great vid Elijah! Keep up the good work!

[@Monchicronchi_Afton]

A few people I seen took the price of a switch in game in compared it to a switch irl (since it's the only item and game that has a consistent irl) to get how much a bell is worth

[@loganjoy-koer5936]

Both Animal Crossing Bells and Pokemon money are 1 to 1 equivalent to Japanese Yen, I forgot where I heard this but it makes sense that a kid would only have enough money to buy an apple before you Hyper Beam their Magikarp.

[@bgoldpanda7265]

Nook seems very generous compared to the real world

[@neehaa]

21:20 one bell = one yen

[@LikaLaruku]

Tom Nook is the greatest Ferengi who ever financially finagled.

sweet finish for the end of the year

[@legendarygaming4287]

Tom Nook started the island getaway package in new horizons to evade the IRS and taxes

[@Grace-kun]

14:02 ur villagers actually help u cuz when I put up a bridge, I haven’t donated any bells yet but there was alr 1,582 bells and I was confused but then I realized it was the villagers

elijah, do you plan on making the member subscription on your channel? because im totally in!

Related to the point of him buying a Ferrari - I have an expensive car parked behind (and slightly peeking out) resident services. And nooks cranny has a delivery truck next to it.

“Wouldn’t pay $100 for an apple” okay but look at the japanese fruit market I’m begging you it gets crazy

[@fina_Soma]

I personally prefer how the log bridge looks i have 3 on my island each one leading to the three sections of my island that is separated by the river

[@midnightdemon2112]

I cant wait to own more money then tom nook

[@monst3r_child832]

you didn't account for the fact that each island can accommodate 8 players, thus multiply how much 1 player's house is by 8, because a full nintendo switch can have 8 profiles and all 8 profiles can make a villager on a single island

[@onephalley]

were u doing the stated calculation on ur own?
