'''Tony McTony''' is a character in the GTA IV era, appearing in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. He is a young internet multi-millionaire (boasting $750 million in stock options) and runs several social networking and video sharing websites. Other sources say no one actually knows how he got rich, though this is likely an exaggeration. | |||
==Biography== | |||
====Childhood==== | |||
Tony McTony, which is assumed by all sources to be his real name, was born in [[1979]] and grew up on the streets of [[Bohan]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. He was a geeky victim of bullying during his childhood. It is also noted that he was a virgin before he became famous, but now can "get laid 24 hours a day". He is only 5' 3" tall, and very insecure about his height. | |||
====Lifestyle==== | |||
Six months before GTA IV is set, he suddenly became very wealthy. Currently, he lives in one of three (or more) luxury homes - a [[Leftwood]] mansion with a helipad, a luxury mansion in [[Los Santos in GTA IV Era|Vinewood]], [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] with a parked [[Shamal]] outside, and the glass penthouse of [[Harborside Plaza 10]] in [[Alderney City]], fitted with a glass elevator which has a glass jaccuzzi inside as seen in the show [[I'm Rich]] on [[CNT]]. He hires strippers to meditate inside his home, "to remind people just how rich he really is!". He likes to get back at his bullies by purchasing the companies they work at and firing them, doing the same thing to everyone at an amusement park when he wasn't tall enough to ride a rollercoaster. He owns fifteen nearly-identical [[Infernus]] sports cars all monogrammed with the logo that he spent $15 million developing only for his personal use. It reads "TMT" (possibly inspired by Tony Montana's logo in Scarface, and jokingly reminiscent of the McDonalds logo) and the reason he fits everything from gold rims to buildings and even his own condoms with his logo is because he believes "Bitches love initials". He is also sometimes pictured with an entire fleet of [[Patriot]]s, a red [[Cavalcade]] a powerboat on the water, or a helicopter. In [[2008]] he was discussed on a mock television show [[Fizz!]], in which he was shown outside [[Bahama Mamas]] stepping out of a [[Super Diamond]] followed by an entire parade of scandily-clad dancing women. Fizz! showed the subtitle "Parties in Platform Shoes", a reference to McTony's short stature. | |||
He is said to rule his internet businesses with an iron fist - referring to the claim in a [[Weazel News]] interview, he says he keeps an actual iron fist under his pillow to "surprise chicks when they're lulled into a false sense of security". He fancies himself an entrepeneur, having recently revealed a new line of adult diapers and always traveling with a crew of "spokeswhores". In one particular outing, he attacked a waitress with his glass at a restaurant whilst on a tour with his spokeswhores for botching his salad order. He is mentioned in the media about planning to sue [[LC24]] magazine because they had referred to him as Napoleonic. He is lambasted by his Vinewood friends for giving his seventh son a "too normal a name", Pete. | |||
==Possible real-life inspirations== | |||
Tony McTony is partially a parody of young internet moguls, primarily [[:wp:Mark Zuckerberg|Mark Zuckerburg]] of Facebook or the YouTube creators ([[:wp:Chad Hurley|Chad Hurley]] and [[:wp:Steve Chen (YouTube)|Steve Chen]]), but made more in the likeness of rap stars like [[:wp:Sean Combs|Sean "Diddy" Combs]], [[:wp:Kanye West|Kanye West]], [[:wp:Jermaine Dupri|Jermaine Dupri]] and [[:wp:Pharrell Williams|Pharrell Williams]]. McTony's antics are inspired by certain famous incidents: | |||
*Zuckerburg handed out [http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/11/28/8361945/index.htm business cards that read "I'm CEO... Bitch"] during the first year or so of Facebook's success in 2005. This likely inspired McTony's logo and "Bitches love initials" comment. | |||
*Chad Hurley and Steve Chen are normally more modest, but once flaunted their success with a video on their own site after being bought by Google founders (fellow young billionaires and other possible influences). | |||
*Diddy famously ordered contestants on his show [[:wp:Making the Band#Making the Band 2: Da Band (2002-2004)|"Making The Band 2"]] to walk across Manhattan to bring him cheesecake | |||
*Kanye West is well known to be very easily offended, and has often interrupted and/or thrown tantrums at music awards shows (mirrored by McTony's intention to sue [[LC24]] magazine). | |||
*His "nerd" background contradicts the supposed ideal rapper, but is influenced by Pharrell (who went to summer band camp as a child and would later dub one of his musical projects [[:wp:N.E.R.D|"N.E.R.D."]]), [[:wp:Lupe Fiasco|Lupe Fiasco]] and Kanye again (all three collaborated on a project called [[:wp:Child Rebel Soldier|Child Rebel Soldier]] and [[:wp:Kid Cudi|Kid Cudi]], who is signed to Kanye's label. | |||
*Though [[:wp:Chris Brown (American singer)|Chris Brown]] and his assault on girlfriend [[:wp:Rihanna|Rihanna]] would point to McTony's "history of domestic violence", the incident broke out a whole two months after GTA IV's release. | |||

* | *Although McTony became wealthy by starting up several websites, it is also revealed that he has his own line of adult diapers, another possible source of his income. | ||
