what if I told you the person behind the famous acclaimed and delicious Krabby Patty is actually a millionaire and not for the reasons you think he was able to buy his pineapple house in full cash and fill in a beautiful and massive library with loads of knowledge it is not that he gets a good salary right wow that's more than I make in a year well let's see how much money does SpongeBob make this is suggested in several episodes so we are going to see what has been shown to answer this we are not going
to estimate how much money he makes based on the minimum wage this channel which I suppose is the official came up with those conclusions that I honestly don't agree this is an awesome well thought and produced video that I highly recommend but the thing is they say SpongeBob has made over seven hundred thousand dollars in his whole career which sounds like a lot taking into account how miserable cheap and stingy Mr Cropsies if I cut your salary completely he would literally charge his employees for breathing talking standing and even existing first of all SpongeBob started
his journey in 1999 but in the episode big pin loser but he gets zealous because SpongeBob has so many trophies they decide the way Patrick is gonna get an award is by working in the Krusty Krab SpongeBob tells Patrick he had to pay Mr Krabs 100 an hour when he started working in the Krusty Krab but hey now this is better because now he only has to pay him 50. nice deal although in one of the episodes of the first season squeaky boots Mr Krabs has a present for his daughter it wouldn't be those totally
hip new flipper slippers everyone wants yeah he gives her some fish boots then they wonder what girls end up believing in zodiac signs so Mr Krabs is worried because he spent two whole dollars on those boots until SpongeBob shows up can I get my page so he finesses SpongeBob to get the boats instead of his paycheck that goes south quickly as a squeaky boots are driving him crazy [Music] so he gets rid of them and he ends up giving back a decent amount of money to SpongeBob it does look like minimum wage if we take
a look at this next episode Posse boots Pearl gets a job at the Krusty Krab during her summer vacation she completely prevents the restaurant into a more hip Fashion Place for the teenage crowd it's a new club that plays really great hardcore techno for really hip young crap Mr Krupp is unable to fire pills the SpongeBob has to be the one to do this at the end to get rid of the pink and shiny decorations Mr Krabs gives SpongeBob the stuff that the daughter bought in exchange for a year's salary if we assume that his
salary is the average for a cook in any fast food restaurant which is not enough then it's not unreasonable the thing that's the amount or the complete decoration of a restaurant couple episodes later in the episode dying for pie Squidward mentions he makes minimum wage oh may I resume my minimum wage I'm pretty sure Squidward gets paid minimum wage because he won't be scammed by Mr Crab so easily well he tries to not get scammed a scene in the episode is squid on strike for Mr Krabs Embraces a prophet maximized work environment showing no respect
and no empathy for the working class this dude to his profits going down three doors compared to the last month unacceptable Squidward is aware of the mistreatment situation he's seen meanwhile the SpongeBob is like there you go Mr K I think this should cover all my nonsense as the greedy patiently wants to get paid his hard work he decides to protest SpongeBob piece of being manipulated ends up taking him on a strike but do you know any strike that does not end up being useless me neither as by the end of the episode SpongeBob destroys
the restaurant and Mr Krabs tells them in order to pay off these damages they are going to work for him forever I mean he didn't say they have to work for free but at best they will go for a miserable pay The Following episode titled skill crane Mr krutz puts a claw machine in the restaurant Squidward becomes more addictive than celebrities to heroin Mr kravsky's Squidward his salary in a bag full of coins so he can spend it all he's like a dealer at this point he also spends all his savings what's this the day
to my house which is a pretty wise financial decision towards the middle of the episode we see Mr Krabs counting all the morning Squidward has spent 3498 of Squidward's quarters so it seems he goes for half counted cones and 3 500 quarters of dollars is 875 dollars so it would be about 1750 with savings and the payment of that month then that would confirm he gets about minimum wage but just a few episodes later in Funny Pants it is mentioned they get paid an equal per day in the episode for my vacation it is shown
to us the exorbitant amount of money he makes a year wow that's more than I make in a year same here boy even in the episode one course meal we see Mr Krabs face SpongeBob with counterfeit money there you go buy yourself something pretty soon so as we saw Mr Krabs gonna be paying them minimum wage for legal reasons but he skillfully finds ways of cutting their salary over exploring them and even getting the SpongeBob to pay him but at least he thinks so she gets all right okay so SpongeBob doesn't make any money from
his job how does he manage to make ends meet is he even Rich well first of all we have seen him plenty of times flats and money like he's trying to sell your course through Tick Tock Apostles University that's 49 a month let's roll out the theory that he's got some money because he lives with Gary who according to one episode he's the legitimate king of bikini bottom but there's no evidence he gets any income from that and this was not repeated referenced again so no it's not Daddy money or paid money as we saw
he really bought his house so he doesn't pay rent he doesn't have a car therefore he moved to using public transportation or on foot he just like me for real additionally we see that SpongeBob lives a simple and froggle life he grows his own food in his secret garden he doesn't have expensive Hobbies cotton jellyfish and playing with bubbles even this weirdo goes outside evaluate yourself but here's where things become interesting if we take a deeper look we will find things look kind of hot for SpongeBob he's doing very well outside of the Krusty Krab
in the episode party hype SpongeBob came up with the idea of these colorful borders as a way to attract new costumers to Mr Krabs and Squidward make fun of him they cross a SpongeBob talk they don't think he's gonna succeed but he knows this is the mink dollar idea is open and SpongeBob gets no sales but then he gets that first customer that gets the snowball rolling and the pretty patties become a massive hit there's thousands of anxious people waiting to get themselves a pretty party it's fat in its SpongeBob's Pockets Mr Krab sees this
so he gives them the Krusty Krab and in exchange I'll give you the Krusty Krab with the key of the Krusty Krab and the pretty patties with some side effects we see deltacity he has for business get only bro in the episode one perhaps thrush it's a crops tries to get back a soda drinking hat he sold to SpongeBob for ten dollars and many collectors offer him a million for the Hat I'll give you a million dollars for that hat by the end of the episode it turns out this piece of modern engineering is not
that valuable there were SpongeBob rocks out a new hat and even gets an offer of one billion dollars do you see where this is going well finds a very luxurious spell in the episode for his pocket and he basically becomes filthy rich [Applause] but it doesn't last long since he wastes his money faster than a rapper although at the end Patrick finds a huge diamond that looks more valuable than the Pearl but it's not just luck in the episode chocolate with nuts chocolate chocolate chocolate pop and Patrick are amazed by a magazine that shows a
high standard of living how do the people in that magazine get all that money they're entrepreneurs and this is why SpongeBob is Rich because he is an entrepreneur he starts conversation with hey do you like passive income so they decide to sell chocolate they mastered the art of selling basically by trial and error and they make quite some money to rent a whole restaurant for a date not gonna lie that's quite weird but Moon time millionaires do we wear so as we know the income SpongeBob gets from the Krusty Krab is complicated it seems minimum
wage there's evidence he actually gets sense or that he even has to pay Mr Krabs as he will always find ways to get her back from his employees this means that in his salary he has receives less coins than a drunk Dancing in the Street which is not enough to get by even with his simple and Frogger lifestyle trust me I've tried it so it is clear that he has found creative ways to make ends meet and even more than that as it seems SpongeBob has the ability or luck to generate wealthously as we have
seen in many occasions rossits and his parents are well off so he wouldn't be unusual if they help him up a bit and it's not as strange for him to work for pennies since what makes him happy the most is to make Krabby Patties
