It became known how much Kevin’s father earned from Home Alone (4 photos + 1 video)
It's been 33 years since the film was released, and fans are still wondering how Kevin McCallister's father was able to afford such a house and a vacation in Paris for nine people. 
Every year "Home Alone" is included in the top of the best New Year's comedies. Kevin's battle with Marv and Harry never loses its relevance, and not only the cunning thieves, but also fans pay attention to the magnificent McCallister house. 
Curious about what Kevin's parents, Kate and Peter, did, the New York Times conducted a study and calculated how much they would have to earn to support their luxurious lifestyle. Economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago analyzed the family's financial situation and the value of their real estate in 1990.
According to them, the McCallisters were very wealthy. To maintain such a luxurious lifestyle in Chicago at the time, including owning a magnificent home and lavish vacations, Peter and Kate would have had to earn at least $305,000 per year in 1990, equivalent to approximately $665,000 in 2022.
Their spacious home was valued at about $2.4 million in 2022, according to Zillow. The area where the house is located is considered one of the most expensive to live in the country.
Okay, the McCallister family is very wealthy, but how did they make their money?
According to the Home Alone novelization by Todd Strasser, Kate worked as a fashion designer and Peter was a businessman, yet the McCallister family is one of the top one percent of the richest people in the world.
Now fans will also have the opportunity to spend a few days at the luxurious residence.
The privately owned property is located at 671 Lincoln Avenue in Winnetka, 30 minutes from Chicago, Illinois, where the film is set, and will be available for short-term rentals from Kevin's older brother, Buzz McCallister.
This month, the stunning New York townhouse where Kevin outwitted the Wet Bandits in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York was put on the market for $6.7 million—just in time for the holidays. The home has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, according to the listing on Zillow.
