It makes you realize how small and insignificant the Mafia is in the grand order of things, especially the Jersey Mafia. There are people out there with twelvefold the money and influence of a mob boss like Tony Soprano, and they’re able to accumulate with little to no violence or law enforcement attention. All their talk of “running North Jersey” is just another indication of their limited scope.
@@aryannahar thing is a mafia boss or capo wasn't suppose to live in a house like that because it attracts too much attention. It singles them out and allows the feds to figure out who thd top guys are much more easier. That's why guys like Carlo Gambino were so much more successful then bosses like Gotti. They knew how to be both rich and powerful while staying under the radar instead of showing off their wealth and power for everybody to see.
There are tons of stories of "big time" mob bosses living in crappy rowhomes and mediocre suburban mcmansions like the Sopranos's house. I get why people like the dramatization of the mafia - it's entertaining. But most of these mobsters - even the bosses - fight over and control peanuts. They're small time. Someone who owns a few McDonald's chains lives higher on the hog, and doesn't worry about getting thrown in prison or shot to death.
Tony wasn't all that wealthy. He was constantly hustling money just to stay afloat. He would have done much better had he got a business degree & worked for a corporation. Tony & his crew were small time hoodlums. I have a house almost as nice as Tony's & I am just a couple ladder rungs above blue-collar.
To be honest, that relationship was doomed. Not only because of AJ. Tony himself is full of insecurities. He would have sabbotaged the shit out of this.
What a misguided belief. These people obtained their money through legal and mostly legitimate means. Through finance and business. There is a clear difference between the American mob and the world of finance. How could all of these American institutions work if they are just as corrupt and evil as the mafia? Foolish/naïve leftist interpretation spotted.
@@mikeg905 yep it’s perfectly legal to incorporate offshore in a location with zero corporate taxes. It’s perfectly legal to use various tax avoidance schemes to pay little or no tax. It’s perfectly legal for private equity to over leverage businesses they acquire in a completely unsustainable way and ditch employee benefits and pension entitlements. It’s perfectly legal to leverage a biz then payout those funds to private equity owners even if the biz is underperforming. It’s perfectly legal that private equity members can have no legal responsibility to the debts they place on businesses allowing them all the gains and none of the losses. It’s perfectly legal to buy a Lamborghini or Picasso from the proceeds of management fees paid to an offshore company that pays no tax for restructuring a failing company that’s laying off 1000s of employees with no benefits. Lot of things are legal, don’t make ‘em right.
@@oktfg My point is not there is "no corruption in the field of finance/business." Because there is. My point was that there is a clear line between the morality of organized crime and the morality of wall street. If you do not see this, then you need to pull your head out of your ass. Corporate/government corruption on par with the practices of the American mafia would best be exemplified by the Chinese communist party or Russian government, NOT the American government which has proven itself exceptional in terms of trustworthiness when compared to other great power peers. Also, favorable corporate tax policies are more reflective of a desire to maintain American economic hegemony (which benefits you, the world and the third world) rather than exert tyrannical control/power over people. One of the main reasons American democratic capitalism works/worked as it does/did is due to the strength and vitality of its institutions. To say that there is no difference between wall street Bankers and PE guys and the mafia is just childish leftism. That is best left for the sociology classroom and angry steven colbert style political rants. Also, your comments are based in subjective opinions about "what shouldnt be legal" versus "what should" in the world of finance. There is no empirical basis for your counterargument. What I mean is this: It is perfectly legal for a corporation to pay zero in taxes. It is perfectly legal for PE firms to acquire businesses in a manner you deem "unsustainable." Are you qualified to make this assessment? Do you work on wall street or in finance? How do you know that it is unsustainable across the board? It is your opinion that this is emblematic of moral/legal corruption. The FACT is that it is in fact LEGAL. Murder, extortion, kidnapping, prostitution, assault, drug trading (all empirical observations that can be made about the mafia, meaning these things can be observed in the world), are all ILLEGAL. Most can prove that the five families are engaged in this. That they are engaged in objectively immoral behavior. The same cannot be said of most of Wall Street, whereas the same can be said of most of the Italian American mafia. There is a difference. Learn it or you will sound like a fool. As far as the argument that just because something is legal does not make it right is valid. However, there is something called objective truth. Private equity firms finding legal loopholes is not as objectively evil as murder, racketeering, and extortion. We must establish an objective basis for comparison or you could never support your own argument. As anything could be anything and everything can be everything as long as it makes me feel good.

It's amazing where you can find ppl with tons of wealth who aren't famous. There are areas like this near me (in Ohio) with insane property values. Polo grounds, pool houses, guest houses, servant quarters, hundreds of acres, etc. You probably see these people at the grocery store or mall and would have no idea how rich they are
Same here. I grew up 10 min away from a suburb in NY where people lived so they can take the train to the city. You’d see a guy shopping at a shitty grocery story in sweatpants and an old hoodie, and he’d drive back to an enormous gated house and be greeted by servants. A lot of them were Wall Street/finance big shots who had families and didn’t wanna live directly in the city.
well yeah you don't have to be famous to be rich. wealth can be passed onto kids too i mean your parents could leave you like 30-40 million dollars, you don't have to be famous
@@nathanielv775 : A lot of the NYC movers and shakers live Bedminster, NJ. Was invited over to a coworker's house for a party, along with other coworkers. Nobody knew her deal until we all drove up a 100 yard stone driveway, and stared at the frontage of a massive dwelling like the one in this episode. Horses were running around a huge fenced yard off to one side of the estate. We were tripped out. Then we saw they had an Olympic sized pool. In the house.
Because that’s real wealth, real wealth isn’t ostentatious or gaudy. These people don’t hold up racks of money, they don’t hang original Picasso’s around their necks
Yeah, but you know....they are still in some god forgotten place in the middle of nowhere in OHIO...It's not like bein in cote azur, Amalfi, Portofino, Paris, or any other meaningful place. They might have spent a fraction of the cost of a proper House in a proper place
@@flightevolution8132 I think youre the moron here. Dont you know the story of the NSX thrashing the competing Ferrari F355 and forcing the italians to re-evaluate their approach? Put your clown makeup on now bum
Two questions: 1. What would a girl like this want with AJ?? 2. Why would a kid who could string a complete sentence together, gross as that sentence is, want to be friends with AJ??
Never heard of rebellious teens. Girls and women into bad boys? She thought AJ was gangsta, dangerous because who his father is. That's why kids want to be friends with too. We are hanging with a Soprano, kid to a mob boss.
Answer? Irrelevant, my focus would've been entirely on how to get her pretty little cotton panties on the carpet under her bed! Cmon, let's get honest. She's a yummy little blonde screamer, meeeoww 😉 😻
They probably knew each other all through school when looks weren't yet a factor, although surely someone like her attends some ultra elite WASP school. Who knows
The most egregious fucking thing AJ did in this entire series. This chick was super wealthy, super down to earth, and seemed really interested in him. And he let his insecurities fuck it all up.
Fun Fact: According to Dan Castleman, a New York assistant District Attorney and technical consultant for the show, Tony’s net worth was estimated to be 5-6 million dollars. Contrast that with James Gandolfini’s net worth of 70 million dollars when he died.
@@sonicextremities9570 The writers said it twice, somebody ☝🏻☝🏻wasn't paying attention. Hesh estimated T's net worth at "under 6" million, which close to the "5 million" they gave Johnny Sack during his triaI, even though they probably picked a conservative number so they could be sure to get their 4.1 million in restitution.
I think AJ was desperate to have a purpose in his life. With Blanca and her son he felt needed and that he had a real connection to someone. imo of course
@Abraham Synth for that she has her rich dad. I bet he wouldn't let her live middle class life. He would buy them mansion as a wedding gift, maybe put AJ in some high income place, maybe would straight up hand over money, monthly. It's not like she would lose her family if her relations with AJ grew to something serious.
The writers did that on purpose. Being with a mafia kid is the perfect way to rebel against an overbearing father. That's why she's attracted to somebody as worthless as AJ and that's why she invited him over when her parents weren't there
@@samdobie6748 they undoubtedly play by a different set of rules. it goes without saying 'not all ___ are bad' but it would have been good to see Tony interact with someone who has politicians in their pocket so if theyre ever in court their assets will never freeze i.e. a real gangster
@@ScapoloMichael I think so too. It'd be better if it were in the same episode where Tony's crew try to shake down a starbucks for protection money and they say 'it's over for the little guy' when they realise gangsters cant out-muscle monopolising parasites *cough* _Larry Fink_ *cough*
AJ would recognize a PIcasso? I don't know if I'd be taking advice about banging from Prince Valiant at the beginning of the clip. What happened with this girl? She's comes from a super rich family AND she's into you, is attractive and seemed like a decent person? AJ, you hit the lottery, nice job screwing that up.
Adam chewy never watched that but he also played “klitz” in the girl next door and the suspected kidnapper in the movie “prisoners”. He was also joes friend in the movie “looper”
@@johnnybravo8129 Have "Prisoners" on DVD. Good movie, good ending. Saw him in " The Girl Next Door " Never saw the other one. I suggest you watch " There Will be Blood " czcams.com/video/FeSLPELpMeM/video.html
Its scenes like this that showed how low on the totem pole that Tony Soprano was. Sure he had a boat, decent house, wqs probably a multi-millionaire, but it was nothing compared to others. This Devin chick, her dad had a guest house the size of Tony's house, and her actual house looked like a castle. With 24/7 security.
Exactly, if you want to look at how low they are exactly, you can estimate it by looking at how their associates live. Paulie for example, living in a small flat and there's not enough jobs and cashflow to go for everyone which becomes a frequent dispute amongst them.
@@lang8097 But think about it, look at the house Phil lived in, look at where Christopher lived, a one bedroom basement apartment? Look at Bobby's house before he got Johnny's house.
It's important to note that by Hesh's calculation Tony wasn't actually a millionaire. Between the gambling and the lifestyle hestimated Tony to be worth under 600,000. For the most part Tony spent as much as he made, and he had little to no interest in investing any of his money.
@@Deamer09 He spent money, but his net worth was definitely higher than 600K. The later seasons did show him becoming more isolated, more paranoid, and more reckless. Think about the final episode, Paulie is the only original crew member that he has.
Hesch, (in anger over Tony and the loan) said “He’s worth six million tops”. Probably a good estimate, now AJ is seeing what real wealth is for first time.
Only AJ would complaint about having a hot, ultra rich girlfriend
Right, AJ complained about everything
@@princevlad4195 He learned that from his mother.

Same here. I grew up 10 min away from a suburb in NY where people lived so they can take the train to the city. You’d see a guy shopping at a shitty grocery story in sweatpants and an old hoodie, and he’d drive back to an enormous gated house and be greeted by servants. A lot of them were Wall Street/finance big shots who had families and didn’t wanna live directly in the city.
well yeah you don't have to be famous to be rich. wealth can be passed onto kids too i mean your parents could leave you like 30-40 million dollars, you don't have to be famous
@@nathanielv775 : A lot of the NYC movers and shakers live Bedminster, NJ. Was invited over to a coworker's house for a party, along with other coworkers. Nobody knew her deal until we all drove up a 100 yard stone driveway, and stared at the frontage of a massive dwelling like the one in this episode. Horses were running around a huge fenced yard off to one side of the estate. We were tripped out. Then we saw they had an Olympic sized pool. In the house.
Because that’s real wealth, real wealth isn’t ostentatious or gaudy. These people don’t hold up racks of money, they don’t hang original Picasso’s around their necks
Yeah, but you know....they are still in some god forgotten place in the middle of nowhere in OHIO...It's not like bein in cote azur, Amalfi, Portofino, Paris, or any other meaningful place. They might have spent a fraction of the cost of a proper House in a proper place
If aj had married this girl, the alimony from their inevitable divorce would've been more money than what tony brings in
Wouldn’t she have to pay it? Or does the man always pay it?
@@james_daniels that's what i meant. Alimony is paid by the person who has more money to the person with less money
@@heroedeleyenda05 The justice system thinks differently with the average man
@@cheefqueef6494 what are you blabering about? How does that contribute to making the comment funnier?
Not really. Devin's father would make sure AJ signs a pre-nup.
AJ had no idea how insanely lucky he was to be dating that girl. What a twerp.
LOL i can understand aj's feeling its like you brag about your honda to a ferrari owner
What if it’s NSX
@@workhardprayhard9524 Her response. “that’s cool my maid drives that,” while proceeding to get inside a custom gold Rolls Royce.
NSX > ferrari
@@SeahawkSTRIKE You're a moron. A shitty NSX compared to even the cheapest Ferrari model? You make me laugh
@@flightevolution8132 I think youre the moron here. Dont you know the story of the NSX thrashing the competing Ferrari F355 and forcing the italians to re-evaluate their approach? Put your clown makeup on now bum
Carmela fussing over her precious Lladro when AJ's girlfriend's house has Picasso's - priceless.
"It looks Bo-Peepish" - ohhh, that's just the guard house!
The horror of being the son of a millionaire then finding out your dad ant worth jack shit.
yep, an incredible story for idiots, I mean - come on - Soprano's are no fucking Mormons protecting their kids from the outer world : )
True. A.J. though his parents were rich....this is wealthy.
They change tires at their house.
I doubt that Tony was worth a million. Just my opinion, but Tony would have to struggle to come up with more than $100,000 in a pinch.
@@raydavison4288 He was probably worth a million, but liquid? Yeah, 100 grand would likely be the max
Two questions:
1. What would a girl like this want with AJ??
2. Why would a kid who could string a complete sentence together, gross as that sentence is, want to be friends with AJ??
Never heard of rebellious teens. Girls and women into bad boys? She thought AJ was gangsta, dangerous because who his father is. That's why kids want to be friends with too. We are hanging with a Soprano, kid to a mob boss.
@@notsureiL I wouldn't be at a varsity field's length of a son of a mob boss.
Answer? Irrelevant, my focus would've been entirely on how to get her pretty little cotton panties on the carpet under her bed! Cmon, let's get honest. She's a yummy little blonde screamer, meeeoww 😉 😻
They probably knew each other all through school when looks weren't yet a factor, although surely someone like her attends some ultra elite WASP school. Who knows
I can't remember AJ ever being happy throughout the whole series.
he was when he was explaining DNA to his Mudda
Grandpa, after dinner, Hot Wheels?
He smiled at a funeral season 1.
He was the most useless character on the entire show
@@_zigger_ OOFAh
The most egregious fucking thing AJ did in this entire series. This chick was super wealthy, super down to earth, and seemed really interested in him. And he let his insecurities fuck it all up.
OK, simp.
That's the essence of insecurities. You are not in control of them. You don't "let" them fuck you up. You either lose them or you're a slave to them.
It’s funny to me how AJ’s friend nonchalantly walks around a house that isn’t his.
And just grabs shit without permission xD!
Fun Fact: According to Dan Castleman, a New York assistant District Attorney and technical consultant for the show, Tony’s net worth was estimated to be 5-6 million dollars.
Contrast that with James Gandolfini’s net worth of 70 million dollars when he died.
Hesh estimated this when having a discussion with his son about Tony. This was when Tony owed him $200k.
And James died young. He'd have even more now plus 70 million ten years ago is probably 90+ million today anyway.
He'd be as rich as Devin's dad
@@sonicextremities9570
The writers said it twice, somebody ☝🏻☝🏻wasn't paying attention.
Hesh estimated T's net worth at "under 6" million, which close to the "5 million" they gave Johnny Sack during his triaI, even though they probably picked a conservative number so they could be sure to get their 4.1 million in restitution.
There's money, then there's REAL money ...
Aj got over there and had his period as usual. How was he strung out over that chick with nothin to offer but not this one😂
I think AJ was desperate to have a purpose in his life. With Blanca and her son he felt needed and that he had a real connection to someone. imo of course
@HidanVenom if she got more money than you and she still wants you that’s love to me
@Abraham Synth for that she has her rich dad. I bet he wouldn't let her live middle class life.
He would buy them mansion as a wedding gift, maybe put AJ in some high income place, maybe would straight up hand over money, monthly.
It's not like she would lose her family if her relations with AJ grew to something serious.
I think she was Dominican.
Once his friend left the room he should've been making moves not having the blues
I really don't believe a father this concerned about house security, would let his daughter within the same zip code as a Mafia kid.
The writers did that on purpose. Being with a mafia kid is the perfect way to rebel against an overbearing father. That's why she's attracted to somebody as worthless as AJ and that's why she invited him over when her parents weren't there
Like so many parents today he likely had no idea who his kids friends were or what they did.
As with most parents, they probably have no clue who she really chills with
They live in the same town you stunad!!! You never been to Jersey ??? This is where those who run the world live
INCLUDING THE MAFIA
Pull up to the security or guest house. It don’t seem that great. 🤣 Drive around back & DAMMNN!!!
How did AJ go from Devin to Blanca the construction site single mother lol
Aint that the riddler
Yes :)
He had to crank his window down manually... nice touch 😋
This scene kind of reminds me the Casting Couch, but in reverse. mhmmm I miss the Sopranos so much!!
Try Boardwalk Empire
Good transition
To over come
Sp loss
😂😂😂😂😭😂💀
AJ: We have a house keeper 3 days a week
Devin:
Devin: Our housekeepers live on the premises and make 6 figures.
Rubber soul in mint condition was the real prize to be won
No the butcher cover is the most valued .
REVOLVER would have been worth even more
I would have loved for Tony to pick his son up from this place and interact with a *real* gangster who owns the place
Not all rich people fuck others over.
@@samdobie6748 they undoubtedly play by a different set of rules. it goes without saying 'not all ___ are bad' but it would have been good to see Tony interact with someone who has politicians in their pocket so if theyre ever in court their assets will never freeze i.e. a real gangster
That would have been an amazing scene.
@@ScapoloMichael I think so too. It'd be better if it were in the same episode where Tony's crew try to shake down a starbucks for protection money and they say 'it's over for the little guy' when they realise gangsters cant out-muscle monopolising parasites *cough* _Larry Fink_ *cough*
@@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805 and T's conversation & facial expressions with AJ on the ride home 🤣
Assuming devin was of age, she was a 10/10
You ashume too much
She looks fertile to me
yea she was hotter than blanka to me.
AJ would recognize a PIcasso? I don't know if I'd be taking advice about banging from Prince Valiant at the beginning of the clip. What happened with this girl? She's comes from a super rich family AND she's into you, is attractive and seemed like a decent person? AJ, you hit the lottery, nice job screwing that up.
I f word got out Tony would send a crew to relieve them of the Picasso's.
Well he ended up dating her for years after soooo
@@pablodiablo2423 For years after? She appeared in a total of 4 episodes in a short time frame of the show and barely at that. Sooooooooooo
@@allgoldproductions you joking? She was in all the way up to season 5, which in the timeline of the show was years later
@@allgoldproductions yup, her last appearance is season 5 finale. Which is 2004, and season 3 is 2001. Soooooooooooooooo they were dating a while
He’s the kid you always wanted to beat the crap out of after school.
Of course paul dano with his Beatles haircut was excited about the mint rubber soul album.
Sheesus, he's used to being the wealthiest person in his group and can't deal with someone that has more. So much insecurity.
Bingo
God devin was beautiful
"I don't care." That you're poor. "I like you." And that your dad is a mob boss.
Some people live in a gated community, these guys have their own gated community.😂
Is that Eli from There Will be Blood ?
Adam chewy never watched that but he also played “klitz” in the girl next door and the suspected kidnapper in the movie “prisoners”. He was also joes friend in the movie “looper”
@@johnnybravo8129 Have "Prisoners" on DVD. Good movie, good ending. Saw him in " The Girl Next Door " Never saw the other one. I suggest you watch " There Will be Blood " czcams.com/video/FeSLPELpMeM/video.html
Adam chewy yeah I’ll def have to check it out, you should check out the movie looper it’s a great time travel movie
AJ is drinking his milkshake.
He was in Cowboys & Aliens
She showed up in Season 5 (Marco Polo) in a bikini.
A.J.'s friend looks like someone whose milkshake I would drink.
Or someone who would put batman to the test
Its scenes like this that showed how low on the totem pole that Tony Soprano was. Sure he had a boat, decent house, wqs probably a multi-millionaire, but it was nothing compared to others.
This Devin chick, her dad had a guest house the size of Tony's house, and her actual house looked like a castle. With 24/7 security.
Exactly, if you want to look at how low they are exactly, you can estimate it by looking at how their associates live. Paulie for example, living in a small flat and there's not enough jobs and cashflow to go for everyone which becomes a frequent dispute amongst them.
@@lang8097
But think about it, look at the house Phil lived in, look at where Christopher lived, a one bedroom basement apartment?
Look at Bobby's house before he got Johnny's house.
It's important to note that by Hesh's calculation Tony wasn't actually a millionaire. Between the gambling and the lifestyle hestimated Tony to be worth under 600,000. For the most part Tony spent as much as he made, and he had little to no interest in investing any of his money.
Hey you forgot about lil Paulies top notch 24/7 security job for carm,you can leave him out in the cold all night no matter he's got a fleece!
@@Deamer09
He spent money, but his net worth was definitely higher than 600K.
The later seasons did show him becoming more isolated, more paranoid, and more reckless.
Think about the final episode, Paulie is the only original crew member that he has.
Anthony's friend is Paul Dano from "There Will Be Blood". Daniel Day Lewis drank his milkshake.
He drunk it all up
Oh cool he looks much different here
DRAIIIINNNNNAAAAAAAAAGE!
7 minutes in Devin
How many of us would last that long
AJ: "We have a Lladro and a housekeeper comes by three times a week."
Devin: "Hold my imported beer."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Devinn was "slumming it"..😂😂😂
AJ: wow nice girl, I'll try to be my best around her
The inner voice of perpetual underachievement: no you won't lmao
Bro, fucking BRILLIANT comment..
Pure genius...
Take a bow..👍
that Morgan Freeman voice
Its funny seeing paul dano here since in the last season theres a scene where tony's watching a re-run of little miss sunshine co-starring dano 😂
It's not all that funny, it's just a coincidence. Settle down, man-child.
Nothing a teenage girl loves more than you fawning over her parents shit while ignoring her.
The nerd with glasses knew what time it was.
He even left the room so AJ could put his hands on Devin - AJ was like "what?"
I forgot Paul Dano was on this show. Brilliant.
Bruh who let Coconut Head from Ned's Declassified: School Survival Guide on the Sopranos? 😂😂
AJ like his fawtha never had the makings of a varsity boyfriend.
AJ is out of his mind !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣. He should have told his friend to leave and he’ll get another ride , no pun intended 😳
She could probably have had him flown home in a fucking helicopter lmao
its not rich girl that is hard to win over ,its her parents
Everyone likes flowers.
@@reallyhappenings5597 That might be a nice start
Proceed up, park by the shinebox
I would have chosen Devin over Blanca.
I forget AJ was friends with John Denver
I thought John Lennon was dead 😆
Hesch, (in anger over Tony and the loan) said “He’s worth six million tops”. Probably a good estimate, now AJ is seeing what real wealth is for first time.
You can't blame AJ for the issue he took up. He didn't want to go into the unknown not knowing
A house isn't a shinebox until a soprano visits...😂😂😂😂
