Just how wealthy was the Haukke family?

[AunaYuuki]

Well, not much now. The Soul market kinda crashed lately. Too many ppl selling their souls for Gil to buy land or Gain brownie points for the Random Gods so they get their loot, due to the lock outs.

The market is filled with Lalafell souls now that you get buy a dozen for 6 gil.

Miqo'te Pelts on the other hand sky rocketed due to demand for those Highland snow gear. Uh.. you wanna get rich real fast?

How much gil will I get for my kidney?

Probably nothing unless you are Elezen..

But I did notice you have a Particular set of eyes... But I highly recommend you stay away from Cat's eye traders they tend to want both..

I bet they had 4,294,967,290 for the down payment, then various investments along the way.

Investments? In Eorzea... Lets see...

1) LL, Pirates, EVERYWHERE, they only stuff worth investing in is probably Ships and Ore. Which both, well 1 ends up in the sea bed, and your Ores stolen by Pirates or Kobos
2) Ul'dah, Pillow houses? Gambling dens? Minerals and ores? Well, you probably be drown in pool of Chocobo pee by a dozen Lalafell Assassins if you got anywhere near a profit.
3) Grid, Lumber? NOPE! THE ELEMENTS WILL BE ANGRY! How about better housing and healthcare? NOPE! THE ELEMENTS WILL BE ANGRY! How about the fur/pelt trade? NOPE! THE ELEMENTS WILL BE ANGRY!

So yeah... I really wanna know.

I was referring more towards costs after the initial plot of land, such as construction, furniture, ect. that would come later. The number was just a lame programming joke - its the maximum value an unsigned 32-bit integer can hold.

1) You invest in pirate ships. Problem solved.
2 +3) You take the lumber and hides to Ul'dah (no one there cares if the elementals are angry.) As long as you pay a percentage to the right people the assassins not only won't kill you but will make sure no one else does either.

*holds tail* Don't you dare!

Based on the title, I came in here to say "not rich enough to buy land in Limsa," but then your post tricked me. I thought this was about lore, and I came in to troll it, and here you are already trolling my expectations of trolling your post.

Well played, OP. Well played.

[Akuha]

So wealthy that SE consulted them for suggestions on housing pricing.

[Kal-El]

Nah you get a manor after 15 commendations through DF.

Haukke Manor is filled with the souls of banned gil farmers and buyers. Their souls corrupted and forced to give back the gil they've stolen from the economy. Why do you think the monsters were carrying gil in the first place? The house is a cruel reminder of greed and corruption, they got their house at last, but at what price?

They're giving it back, they're giving it all back.
