So, Boba's paid some insane amounts of money for his services... and all that cash just keeps piling up... what do you think he does with it/wants to do with it?
I mean, it's obvious that a good amount may go into meals, fuel, weaponry, disguises, etc. but he has more than enough to cover all of those expenses.

Does it ever actually say in any of the books/comics what he does with it or wants to do with it?
I was kinda thinking that maybe he likes to anonymously donate some of his credits...? Maybe to organizations that deal with environmental issues (what? Maybe he cares about the Ewok population!) or to ones that help support orphanes (since he was once one himself).
I guess I say this because, admittedly, I like to see Boba Fett with a tender side. tongue I'd just hate to think he hoardes all that money all to himself with nothing to do with it!!

Other than that, I hope he takes vacations every once in while... to a Spa on Kamino... Hologram Fun World (which I'm sure is totally canon).

*sigh* Well, it's late at night, I can't sleep, & I have nothing better to do... so I was just trying to kill some time. XD

Funny thing in your last typed line: 'just trying to kill some time' I feel might be what Boba might've did; Besides his 'job' and maintaining his ship & arsenal, I'm sure there were alot of unspent credits because how much could one really spend without actually throwing it away?

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

He uses the money to finance his future jobs. I also bet that he is a philanthropist. It does create a strange picture, though.

Hmm, perhaps he has a fettish for lipstick and that's why he always wears the helmet. Hehehe... sorry my warped sense of humour strikes again tongue

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

^^^LOL Lipstick (Sorry that was my fault... Boba and I well we errr ummm -- blushes) wink

Actually it's a good question: What would Boba spend his credits on?

Well, hummm.... he had a daughter and a wife.. so maybe he did send child support??? But that would only be a small part of that big money he makes.

Fuel, repairs, food, ammo, armor, rent, drinks (he did hang out a Jabba's), maybe tip the ladies/dancers @ Jabba's... but still seems to leave a chunk of change in his account (maybe).


Most Mandalorians are known to adopt/raise and train kids -- although Boba left Ailyn (his own daughter) behind it is possible that he did donate to orphanages... Just because he could not raise his own kid does not mean he did not donate to help others to do so....

Hummm.. interesting question you've asked big_smile

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

the assembler asked fett the same question in the mandalorian armor book. In that same book it was also mentioned that fett buys very expensive, state of the art weaponry systems. Donation is probably in there somewhere along with all the slave 1's weaponry, fuel and other types of weapons. In the book boba was very protective of what he does with his credits so it is obviously very personal and secret.

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

Boba very protective of what he does with his credits -- that I totally believe! Boba is a man of few words... and would never discuss his finances (I don't think).

I've been thinking half the day about this question and in retrospect I don't think he did paid child support --> one reason of several reasons Ailyn was after him I suppose.

I still do think he spent lots of money on fuel, armor, repairs, equipment, ammo, ships, rent, the ladies, food/drink... maybe saved the rest for retirement?

Not funny! Boba Fett more than likely uses his credits (money) on improving his weaponry and his ship.

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

he buys more armor/weapons to add to his collection.

Even though he's often wearing the same armor and using the same weapons? smile

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

He spent some of it on expensive and rare gems for his wife, Sintas, when they wed. He also gave her his portfolio of properties he owned and stock shares. Plus, after they wed, he settled down and quit the bounty business for a journeyman job. (the movie The Incredibles flashes in my head at that thought.  lol)   Maybe not making that large bounty money anymore. He did seem to invest wisely though.  lol

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

Whatever he needs the most. He IS a PRACTICAL MAN after all! ;-)

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

he spends it on women, drinks, ammunition, equipment, and body armor repairs(only if he is hit that is).

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

I'd like to think he spends the money on creating a utopia for mandalorians to thrive and grow. But, he probably spends it betting on fights and races (pod races).

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

I don't think he would spend his money for other mandalorians ^^ As far as I know he didn't really wanted to accept his legacy so why would be spend money on it smile
Betting on fights sounds like a good way to practice estimating skills of potential opponents while being entertained so it sounds likely smile You can use similar logic in case of betting on pod racers but somehow I find it less likely (and less entraining for Boba)...
I think he mostly spends his money on equipment but still keeps big savings which allows him to choose only those bounties he's interested in without worrying about running of money smile

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

I'm sure he spends a good amount on maintaining and upgrading his equipment. With the rest he balls out at the fanciest OuterRim cantinas.

Re: What does Boba spend his Credits on?

In the Legacy of the Force series, he was using a large number of his credits on fighting a viral disease in his cloning genes that was going to kill him. He paid his personal doctor and the Kaminoans a huge sum each trying to cure it. (Eventually he did cure it by finding Jaing Skirata, who was able to give him the cure through the formula that he and his brothers had used to stop their accelerated aging.) Plus, in answer to the question of him using his credits to help fellow Mandalorians, I believe he did after he became Manda'lor. I know that it took a while for him to really accept his role as ruler of Mandalore, but after his talks with Jaing and a few other Mandos, he really started trying to be a good Manda'lor. I don't remember exactly, but I think I recall him using some of his creds for the good of Mandalore. He also helped Mandalore's economy through MandalMotors, which he helped guide through their production and selling of bes'uliik starfighters. I also know that he bought stocks in several successful companies, as well as buying upgrades for the Slaves 1, 2, 3, and 4, and for his weapons and armor.
