Who funded Charles Xavier's school?
I know that Xavier was rich, very rich:
- He ran his own school for years
- He built Cerebro
- He owned an exotic aircraft (possibly worth hundreds of millions of dollars)
- He rebuilt the mansion, including the contents (even if the X-Men supplied the labor)
- He (probably?) was held responsible for the damage his team did to the city
How could he afford it? Was there any other person or organization also funding his activities?
Best Answer
Xavier has a family inherited mansion, is a natural genius and attended Oxford University. It seems he inherited a lot of money from his father.
Even in X-Men: First Class a CIA agent was involved in their mission and Cerebro was made by Hank not Xavier.
And he is running a school, so maybe some of his students pay. In the comics he had rich students too.

Where did Charles Xavier get his money?
After Charles Xavier's scientist father, Brian, was killed in a nuclear accident, Charles inherited the mansion and his family fortune, and he used both to found the X-Men. As this issue reveals, Xavier also used that fortune to quietly back a dozen organizations that quietly helped him amass more wealth and influence.Where is the Charles Xavier school in real life?
