In Jane Austen novels, set in the early 19th century, everybody seems to know how much money everybody else has. These novels contain many phrases like: "He has £80,000" "She has £5,000 a year." "The Duke of Such-and-Such is penniless."
Did people in London society, and the country estates they traveled to, actually know how much money other people had? How did they know? Was it published? Who disclosed these numbers and how did they get this information? Was the information accurate, or was it just speculation that became rumors which people just mistook for fact?
