  I mean, that’s fine. But also it implies significant generational family wealth.

  The point is that Kevin’s family is loaded. Dad’s likely an investment banker, mid-level corporate executive, white shoe lawyer, or other high income profession. And he comes from a family with similar wealth and status, such that they can afford to shell out five figures on an extended vacation abroad.

  I think this is alluded to in the class character of Kevin himself, who seems fairly comfortable playing the spoiled rich kid, but is initially terrified and disoriented when presented with people living in poverty.

    I wouldn’t say loaded. They’re upper middle class. They put the kids in coach while the parents flew first class. If they were loaded they’d all be flying in a private jet.

      I mean, when you’re 8 years old, coach might as well be first class.

  That doesn’t explain the house and so many children though.

    Most of the kids were family members visiting. Do we even know which kids were just part of the main family that lived in the house other than Buzz and Kevin?

    I don’t remember it being revealed what Rob’s job is, but he is transferred from New York to Paris. And it’s his former townhouse that is used in Home Alone 2.

  Also, the answer is banking/finance.
