Did Walter White leave his family money?
For his son, Walter left a sum of 9 Million dollars as a parting gift. Walter then started walking on his path of revenge and make sure Jack's White Supremacist gang pays for what they did to him.
WHAT DOES WALT HAVE LEFT TO BUILD AN EMPIRE? $3,375,000 Walt's total earnings for 6 mo.
Because Skyler gave much of Walt's savings to Ted to help him with his tax issue. I estimate Walt still had about $600,000 at that point, more than enough to cover the cost of disappearing, but that amount wouldn't really be worth it to disappear with.
Walter ended up with zero, as he gave $970,000 to Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz to put in an irrevocable trust and Jack and his crew stole the rest. Walter clearly didn't care about money for himself as he killed Jack before finding out where the rest of the money was.
He ended up leaving them 9+ Million, I think he was happy with that. Maybe towards the end he was doing it for himself, but at the beginning it was mostly for the money and possibly a little for the thrill.
After insisting for five full seasons that everything he did, he did for his family, Walt finally confesses that all of his actions were entirely self-motivated.
Walter White may be fictional. But the $80 million profit he turned by selling meth in less than a year is a very realistic sum for a true-life drug kingpin.
Actor RJ Mitte rose to fame at the age of 14 when he was cast as Walter White Jr in cult series Breaking Bad. He has cerebral palsy and was bullied when he was younger because of his disability. "I had my hand broken, my foot broken, I was slammed on the ground," he says.
Ok, so initially, Walt needed $737,000. After working on his own and then with Gus, how much money did he have? There was a vague estimate of his NET earnings in 'Gliding Over All' but that was about it.
In the last episodes of Breaking Bad, Walter's fortune of 80 million dollars is split among 8 barrels of money. He buries it out in the desert to ensure that it can't be used as evidence against him by the police.
Who took all of Walter's money?
Around 70 million was taken by Jack which he must have taken to his place. When Walt killed Jack and his men in the end, the scene was found by police and DEA so they must have seized whatever was left of it with much more of Jack's money he's been making through Jessie cooking for him.
Although Mama insists that a portion of that money should remain earmarked for Beneatha's education, Walter ignores her wishes and hands the entire sum over to his friend Bobo, who in turn gives Walter's money, along with his own contribution, to their partner Willy.
Skyler launders the money to Ted by having Saul claim his Great Aunt in Luxembourg left it to him in her will. Ted however wastes it by buying a new car and plans to reopen the business. Skyler confronts Ted about it and reveals she gave him the money.
After Breaking Bad
In an interview, show creator Vince Gilligan confirmed that Walter Jr. eventually received his father's drug money through Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz, which he had arranged beforehand.
No. Walt's business provided Walter Jr with a lifetime of financial security. Walt's business cost Walter Jr his stable family, his uncle, his home, his possessions, his dignity, his reputation. It robbed him of a relationship with the father he knew and loved, in the last year of his life.
It belonged to a man scared of Gus Fring, scared of Tuco Salamanca, scared of chemotherapy, scared of cholesterol. So, after taking a long look at his porkpie, he sells the car to the mechanic for fifty bucks — a dollar for each year of his previous life.
This is explained by showing renovations being done on the house. After this episode aired, fans of the show were reported to repeatedly throw pizzas onto the roof of Walt's home in real life. It got so frequent that the home owner built a 6ft iron fence to stop fans throwing pizzas onto the roof.
Jesse shows his love for Walt through simple, often under-noticed deeds. Giving him a birthday present when nobody else cared to. Apologizing for threatening his life even when both the characters and the audience know, deep down, that Walter is deserving of death.
Gus is pleased with the quality of Walt's blue meth and offers him $3 million for three months of his time to cook more in a high-tech "superlab" hidden under an industrial laundry that Gus owns. Walt initially refuses, but Gus eventually convinces Walt that he should cook for his family's financial security.
Just as Walt is about to leave, an associate of Gus named Victor blocks him from exiting and tells him to deliver the meth to a truck stop within the next hour in exchange for $1.2 million cash. Walt rushes to Jesse's apartment and breaks in while Jesse and Jane are in a heroin-induced haze.
Does Walt Jr forgive Walt?
That realization hit home during the phone call at the end of the previous episode, "Granite State." Walter Jr. will not try to understand his father; Walter Jr. will not knowingly accept his money; Walter Jr. will never forgive him. His father was his greatest hero, but became his ultimate villain.

In an interview, show creator Vince Gilligan confirmed that Walter Jr. eventually received his father's drug money through Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz, which he had arranged beforehand.
U-Store-It is a self-storage facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. One of its units was rented by Skyler White to store the ~$80 million fortune earned by her husband, Walter, from manufacturing and selling methamphetamine.
Seems only fair, given what they'd done to him on Charlie Rose. But when it's all said and done, Walter's pride cost his son nearly $3.0 million, before considering any New Mexico gift taxes.
Gretchen came from a rich family and Walt at that time had an inferiority complex so he bailed. He sold his share of the company to Elliott for a lousy $5000. Gretchen and Elliott then became an item, got married, and the company went on to be worth billions.
Of course, Walt didn't dissolve the money in hydrofluoric acid, as he did with various bodies. Instead, he buried it intact, preserving its coordinates on a lottery ticket he tacked to the refrigerator in the desperate hope that it can someday be recovered and passed on to Walter, Jr.
