We’ve all heard that classic story about how the Fresh Prince from West Philadelphia (born and raised) takes a cab to his Auntie and Uncle’s house in Bel-Air to claim his throne. I know a cab from my house to Newark International Airport is like $50…it’s crazy to imagine how much it would’ve cost for Will to travel from Philly to Bel-Air!!! & yes I’m very aware of the extended version of the theme song where will actually takes a cab from the airport, but on TV it seemed to me like he took a cab from Philly to Cali. Ok, so finally here is a dollar amount of how much it would’ve cost the Fresh Prince getting to his Bel-Air kingdom.
College Humor has put a number on it by looking up the route on a fare-finding site….So it would’ve cost will about $8,356.96 to get from West Philly to Bel-Air!! Dang Uncle Phil was really loaded then!!! LOL!
