My opinion of Jay Gatsby's millions has not changed with the introduction of Mr. Wolfsheim. Despite the fact that Wolfsheim is known to be a shady character involved in illegal activities, such as bootlegging, I still see Gatsby's wealth as being earned through his own hard work and determination rather than through questionable means. Gatsby's lavish parties and extravagant lifestyle may have been funded by illegal activities, but ultimately his wealth is not tied directly to Wolfsheim's criminal endeavors. Gatsby's wealth still represents his aspiration for a better life and his desire to win back the love of Daisy Buchanan, rather than just being a product of his association with dubious characters like Wolfsheim.
