Simon Rumble Asks: Cheesemonger

How rich is Illyrio? Where does it all come from?

Extremely rich, although less rich than Xaro Xhoan Daxos. But enough to become a Magister of Pentos and marry the sister of the cousin of the Prince of Pentos. So he’s definitely in the top 1% if not the .1%. 

In terms of where the money comes from, he took the nest egg he and Varys built from their various schemes and invested it into “spices, gemstones, dragonbone, and other, less savory things.”
