How do the Xmen pay for their finances?

I know that they use Emma frost and Angel as a way to pay for their finances but that has to burn a whole through their pocket everytime the mansion is destroyed. How else do they get financed?

@daak1212: With the great infinite comics money. =)

Come on. How can Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark and every other character mantain their pockets full every time. It's just the way it is, the all have money and are not afraid to use it.

Emma, Warren and Charles had ridiculous amounts of pocket change as well as a few other contacts they've made.
I think I remember reading back when that Moira left them a sum as well.

They don't just have static bank accounts. They own businesses to keep the money rolling in. Plus, the money that is set aside in savings accounts is making interest... Considering they already have millions, thn that would be thousands of dollars made in interest a DAY.

Xavier, Emma, Warren, Magnus, Betsy, DaCosta, they all have private fortunes or inheritances or lucrative business ventures......and I bet they could apply for tax exempt status if they could avoid being pummeled by supernatural catastrophes for a few weeks.

Let's not forget also that it's a little easier for the X-Men to do repairs on their own than most people........

Emma would never spend her own money how do you think she's still rich, although if you think about it its not too hard to psyprobe a bank teller into thinking somebody just put an insane amount of money into an account. I remember in an issue of a Rogue one shot Xavier gave every X-Men their own card that holds funds linked to one of Xavier's private bank accounts. While I'm on the subject Rogue has an inheritance from Destiny and you know back then Mystique was making fat duckets for assassinations and other shape-shifting heist. Not too long ago it was stated Wolverine had money. Very peculiar how almost each X-Man has some fortune that only comes up when the plot calls for it.

I thought Xavier was independently wealthy. Maybe they get money because they're a school or something.

Xaviar gets grants, by force.

The X-men actually have a criminal task force that goes around mugging hobos and box city people. You'll see it X-treme Factor. But it's comics.

I mean mind control/telepathy is legit one of the best skills to have. How hard would it be for Emma Frost to siphon millions from people without as much batting an eyelash. Too easy.

They lots of cash cow in the team:

Charles Xavier is worth billions
Emma Frost is also worth about the same
Warren Worthington is also a billionaire
Elizabeth Braddock came from a very wealthy aristocratic family
Ororo Munroe as the Queen of Wakanda also has some change to spare
Magneto also has some resources himself

Xavier used to fund the expenses, Wakanda chipped in, and Worthington covers most of the bills theses days, Emma is too much of a bitch to help and only ever spent her cash during GenX.

Xavier had to go begging to Warren for a loan back in the day to rebuild the mansion cause although Xavier was wealthy himself he was taking big hits constantly repairing stuff.

But now yeah they are all mega rich.

Also they have nifty tax aviodance scams going on like Scott once put all of Xaviers money when they thought he had died into a charitable non profit fund to use.

@MarquisDeTagle_:

@daak1212: Madison Jeffries. He can actually create mineral substances, so he has gotta be making them a fortune.

When you have claws come out of your fists and shoot lasers out of your eyes, well, I'm sure some things just get easier and cheaper!

The Professor plays pick a number with drunk people outside of the casinos in Vegas and Atlantic City, Wolverine fights in unlicensed boxing matches, Magneto makes sculptures and sells them, etc, etc.

There's a kid called Alchemy in the X-men .From the codename we all know what he can do. And we all know how pricey gold is these days

Mind you, M also is rich, her dad being whatever he was. And Jubilee, didn't her parents have like a mansion in Beverly Hills? Bling comes from famous rappers, so it's assumed she has some money. And Madrox won money on that gameshow.
