Vronsky's Finances

[Romy Taylor]

At the end of Part 5, Ch. 13, Vronsky is returning from Italy planning 
to make a
division of the estate with his brother.  This must explain his and Anna's
wealthy lifestyle once they are living on Vronsky's estate.  But he also lives
well in Italy, occupying the best rooms, renting a palazzo, buying and
commissioning paintings.
