Huck Finn became wealthy after the events of his adventures in Mark Twain’s novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. At the end of the story, Huck discovers that he has come into a sizable inheritance from his father, Pap Finn, who had previously found a stash of money.
Specifically, Huck inherits six thousand dollars, which is a significant amount of money for a boy his age. This wealth originally belonged to him and Tom Sawyer, as they found the money in a floating log while they were on an adventure. They decided to deposit it with Judge Thatcher to keep it safe until they were older.
The wealth gives Huck a sense of security, but he is also conflicted about it. He has lived a life of adventure and freedom away from society’s constraints, and the thought of money comes with the responsibilities that Huck is not ready for. Therefore, while the money represents a life of comfort, it also symbolizes the ties to a society that he feels trapped in.
