The Baudelaire Fortune is a large, unspecified amount of money that was left behind by the Baudelaire parents to the Baudelaire children. However, due to their parents' very specific will, they are not allowed to use a single cent until at least one of the orphans turns 18 years old; in this case, Violet Baudelaire would allow to use it the soonest as she is 14 years old in the beginning of the series. Because of the will, Arthur Poe at Mulctuary Money Management refuses to allow to orphans to access it. The fortune is also not to be used for any of the Baudelaire guardians.
