 Eric:
How do we _know_ that the Malfoys have gobs and gobs of money?

Me:
Your points arguing that The Malfoys may not be very rich are all very
plausible but

GoF ch 36 p 613 UK ed.
 
Fudge talking of Lucius " A very old family...donation to excellent causes" 

Donations, something rich people do to buy a respectable image.
 I'm sure it's said somewhere else too by someone different that Malfoy
bought his freedom and I'm also sure that somewhere in passing is said that
they *are* rich but at the moment memory fails me. I confide in other people
to quote the relevant canon.
