List of Annual House Incomes

The Nobility of Grandelumiere makes their income from the land held by their family. This usually comes in the form of agriculture. Members of the nobility own large plots of farmland, from which wheat, fruits, vegetables, and pastures from which meat, dairy products and eggs might be collected and sold at market. The money made by the peasantry is given to the local nobility or paid in taxes. This is because the serfs work the land for the nobility, thus making a small portion of the money themselves for labour. 
In addition to agriculture, one might possess mining area for stone, coals, and metals. Forges may also be operated, as with windmills, and other means to process raw goods (wineries are a common example). A noble may also own ports to tax income and, assuming there are towns within their territory, may make income from toll roads and town gates. 
However, in accordance with noble duties, most nobility are discouraged from commercial enterprises, which may cause dérogeance, the loss of nobility. This also covered manual labour besides that of military service.
Nobility of well-off standing can earn up to 100,000-150,000 livres per annum from their lands, however, some of the more prestigious families could triple such an income. Despite this, the provincial families have incomes of around 10,000 livres per annum.
(For modern conversion 1 livre = £7/$9.75)
