what i’ve never understood is that they make billions of $ every year but most of them live in dirty little shack, drive beat up POS’s, etc. Are only the top of the totem pole guys making the big bucks or do they all have million dollar bank accounts but dont live like they do?

As someone who worked at a native owned smoke shop/gas station for a few years I can explain that one.
The few people that own the gas stations are rich. The vast majority of the tribe gets nothing. In the case of the owner of the one I worked for, Eli Tarbell, he had a mansion, more cars than his family could ever drive, boats, sleds, a hovercraft… you name it.
