Tony McTony is a character in the GTA IV era, appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV. McTony also appears in the recent trailer of 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.

Childhood

Tony McTony, which is assumed by all sources to be his real name, was born in 1973 and grew up on the streets of Bohan. He was a geeky victim of bullying during his childhood (he currently likes to get back at his bullies by purchasing the companies they work at and firing them), and it is also noted that he was a virgin before he became famous, but now can "get laid 24 hours a day".

Lifestyle

Currently, he lives in one of three (or more) luxury homes - an Alderney mansion with a helipad, a luxury mansion in Los Santos with a parked Shamal (a private jet) outside, and a glass penthouse fitted with a glass elevator which has a glass jaccuzzi inside, as seen in the show I'm Rich on CNT. 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 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 Patriots, a red Cavalcade a powerboat on the water, or a helicopter.

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 glassed a waitress at a restuarant whilst on a tour with his spokes whores 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 (being that he is an egomaniac and only 5 feet tall). 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 Mark Zuckerburg, who handed out business cards that read "I'm CEO... Bitch" during the first few years of Facebook's success. He may also satire Chad Hurley and Steve Chen of YouTube, who flaunted their success with a video on their own site after being bought by Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page (fellow young billionaires and influences for McTony's character). Jerry Yang and David Filo, the young creators of Yahoo, are also possible inspirations.

McTony is also a heavy satire on the antics of rap stars like Sean "Diddy" Combs and Kanye West. Diddy, for example, ordered contestants on his show "Making The Band 2" to bring him cheesecake (which may have inspired McTony's "salad" incident), while Kanye West is 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). Some of his style cues are also derived from Pharrell Williams, a childhood nerd and outcast like McTony, who went to summer band camp as a child and would later dub one of his musical projects "N.E.R.D.". Though Chris Brown and his assault on girlfriend Rihanna would point to McTony's "history of domestic violence", the incident broke out a small while after GTA IV's release.
