    Not much. $250 tops. My grandpa/ma gives me usually $100, that's where most of it comes from.

    my family is medium size ... so the 'red-envelope' income is okay

    however, image if your family is huge and rich -- drooling ...

    it gets less and less every year... even if i have a rather large family. I just realised... most of my relatives have moved away, or we've lost contact with them =/... this year i only got 90$.. whereas i used to get around 150$ on the odd year.

    But really, i get my money from both grandmas when it's their birthdays XD

    How much do you guys usually get from each person?

    I am super poor compared to you guys. I always only got $20-50 and the most was probably 100...
