  • These pants may be square but, how deep are the pockets?

  • What is SpongeBob's net worth?

  • Well, to answer that we must weigh his yearly earnings against annual expenses.

  • Plus his total assets.

  • Meow.

  • Between a pet snail, home ownership, and constant boating school tuition,

  • costs can really add up, even for a workaholic.

  • Look Mr. Krabs! Clean floors!

  • Question #1. How much money does Spongebob soak up every year?

  • As a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, Spongebob is a critical factor

  • in Bikini Bottom's most popular restaurant.

  • One Krabby Patty please.

  • - Oh! - Mr. Krabs!

  • Still his employment under Eugene Krabs only earns this fry cook minimum wage.

  • The Krusty Krab hours of operation show us that Spongebob works a total of

  • 82 hours per week.

  • Ah. It warms me wallet to see me employees coming in so early.

  • [panting]

  • We know Spongebob was hired in 1999.

  • For years I've been dreaming of this moment!

  • And that Bikini Bottom is located within boating distance of California.

  • So we can gauge that 82 hours a week at California minimum wage, for 21 years,

  • should have earned Mr. Squarepants a total career earnings of over $700,000.

  • There ya go! I kinda have more money than I know what to do with right now.

  • But, Spongebob wasn't earning money when he first started at the Krusty Krab.

  • Was he?

  • When I started working here, I had to pay Mr. Krabs a $100 an hour. A $100 an hour.

  • Talk about owing a debt of gratitude. Most trial hiring periods last 3 months or

  • roughly 13 weeks. Let's estimate that Spongebob initially paid Mr. Krabs

  • a total of $106,600 when first becoming employed.

  • Then there's one more thing leeching at Mr. Squarepants' paycheck.

  • Oh boy! The mail's here! What do we have today? Taxes

  • Taxes would cost him on average, $5,362 per year. Between taxes and initial

  • debts to Mr. Krabs, this sinks his total career earnings down to

  • less than $500,000. That's right. Say goodbye to over $200,000.

  • I don't need it. I don't need it.

  • Question 2. What are Spongebob's annual expenses?

  • As a sea sponge, Mr. Squarepants isn't required to consume food

  • in order to survive. Though his relationship with Krabby Patties might

  • suggest otherwise.

  • - But it's good for you. - Good for you?

  • - That thing is a heart attack on a bun! - No Squidward, I meant...

  • Good for your soul.

  • But assuming that Spongebob doesn't need to pay for his own Krabby Patties,

  • we won't factor that in. Someone who does need food to survive,

  • is Spongebob's beloved pet, Gary, the snail.

  • I have all the cans marked. A can in the morning and a can at night.

  • We can assume that Gary's annual expenses are similar to the standard house snail.

  • Which would equal about $200 for food costs, $250 for snail litter,

  • and $100 for medical expenses.

  • - Yes, yes, it's just as I thought. - What?

  • This is definitely a snail.

  • And like fish need gills, the economy needs bills.

  • [laughing]

  • A gas bill for a one bedroom tropical plant would run about $900 per year.

  • And an electricity bill? How about $700 per year.

  • Oh!

  • [laughing]

  • Then of course, there's boating school tuition.

  • Hi Mrs. Puff! Today is the day I'm gonna pass my boating exam.

  • We'll see about that Spongebob.

  • Driving lessons cost, on average, $500 per course.

  • Most students only need to take driving lessons once or twice.

  • But it's apparentBut it's apparent this has been a reoccurring expense.

  • [moans]

  • Don't worry Mrs. Puff. I'll try harder next semester.

  • No!

  • Those are the necessities but what about fun and amusement?

  • Between the bubble blowing, trips to Glove World,

  • and the occasional splurge at Weenie Hut Jr's,

  • we can assume an additional $1,000 annual entertainment expense.

  • I hope this doesn't put a damper on things. But, I just checked,

  • and well, it's just that all my money isgone!

  • So, where does that leave us after earnings and expenses?

  • Just over $400,000.

  • - Alright! Give the money! - Will that be from your savings

  • - or your checking account sir? - Uh, savings.

  • Finally. Question 3. What are Spongebob's current assets?

  • Sir, we are showing a balance of zero dollars and zero cents

  • - for both of your accounts. - Oh.

  • If Spongebob has no money in the bank,

  • then where has all of his earned income gone?

  • Well to answer that, let's review the one major asset owned by Mr. Squarepants.

  • Oh, who lives in a pineapple Under the sea

  • That's right. We know that Spongebob paid for his pineapple, in cash.

  • It's beautiful. I'll take it!

  • Now how much is that iconic, orange abode worth?

  • Some financial experts have valued this residence at $18,000,000?

  • Idyllic location, upscale features, and an architectural tour de force.

  • This is an exceptional piece of real estate.

  • Others have valued this residence at $2.75 per pound. So, which is it?

  • Uh… I don't know.

  • We can calculate the median listing price for homes in the region

  • at $26.25 per square inch.

  • If Spongebob himself is 2 inches tall,

  • then we can estimate that this 3-story pineapple is about 942 square inches.

  • A total worth of nearly $25,000.

  • Ooh!

  • But, let's not forget the biggest variable in real estate.

  • Location, location, location.

  • Walking distance to all the best spots in Bikini Bottom.

  • Expensive views and a lush yard.

  • Spongebob's estate easily floats the value of this property

  • up to $600,000.

  • Aw! Good old pineapple! It's exactly like it used to be!

  • Now, let's circle back to his savings. It's clear that Spongebob has

  • put all of his extraneous earnings into home renovations.

  • If your expected rate of return is 80% of your investment, then a conservative

  • estimate of Spongebob's net worth is nearly $1,000,000!

  • - That's right! - Yeah!

  • There you have it. The most expensive piece of fruit in the entire ocean

  • is owned by the hardest working fry cook in Bikini Bottom.

  • What other questions do you want answered?

  • Like and subscribe and get your water wings ready for the next investigative

  • deep dive with Inside Bikini Bottom.

  • [laughing]

  • At first, we didn't know what to do with all the money.

  • We tried burying it,

  • - shredding it, - Ah!

  • and burning it!

  • [screaming]

  • But in the end we decided to just give it all away.

  • - Come again, sir! - I'm gettin' back in line!

These pants may be square but, how deep are the pockets?
