 '''Tony McTony''' is a character in the GTA IV era, appearing in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. McTony also appears in the [[Trailers for The Ballad of Gay Tony|recent trailer]] of [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. He is a young internet multi-millionaire (boasting $750 million in stock options) and runs several social networking and video sharing websites. Other sources say no one actually knows how he got rich, though this is likely an exaggeration.
+==Biography==
 ====Childhood====
+Tony McTony, which is assumed by all sources to be his real name, was born in 1979 and grew up on the streets of [[Bohan]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. He was a geeky victim of bullying during his childhood (he currently likes to get back at his bullies by purchasing the companies they work at and firing them), and it is also noted that he was a virgin before he became famous, but now can "get laid 24 hours a day".

He was a geeky victim of bullying during his childhood (he currently likes to get back at his bullies by purchasing the companies they work at and firing them), and it is also noted that he was a virgin before he became famous, but now can "get laid 24 hours a day".
 ====Lifestyle====
+He very suddenly became wealthy. Currently, he lives in one of three (or more) luxury homes - a [[Leftwood]] mansion with a helipad, a luxury mansion in [[Vinewood]], [[Los Santos]] with a parked [[Shamal|Shamal (a private jet)]] outside, and the glass penthouse of [[Harborside Plaza 10]] in [[Alderney City]], fitted with a glass elevator which has a glass jaccuzzi inside as seen in the show [[I'm Rich]] on [[CNT]]. He owns fifteen nearly-identical [[Infernus]] sports cars all monogrammed with the logo that he spent $15 million developing only for his personal use. It reads "TMT" (possibly inspired by Tony Montana's logo in Scarface) and the reason he fits everything from gold rims to buildings and even his own condoms with his logo is because he believes "Bitches love initials". He is also sometimes pictured with an entire fleet of [[Patriot]]s, a red [[Cavalcade]] a powerboat on the water, or a helicopter. In 2008]], he was discussed on a mock television show [[Fizz!]], in which he was shown outside [[Bahama Mamas]] stepping out of a [[Super Diamond]] followed by an entire parade of scandily-clad dancing women. Fizz! showed the subtitle "Parties in Platform Shoes", a reference to McTony's short stature.

He is also sometimes pictured with an entire fleet of [[Patriot]]s, a red [[Cavalcade]] a powerboat on the water, or a helicopter. In the Ballad of Gay Tony trailer, he is seen and discussed on a mock television show [[Fizz!]], shown outside [[Bahama Mamas]] stepping out of a [[Super Diamond]] (a car that was new to the game) followed by an entire parade of scandily-clad dancing women (this may be meant to reflect Sean "Diddy" Combs' entrance to one awards show, in which he stood on top of a large, slowly moving convoy of commericial trucks rapping his song "Bad Boy For Life"). Fizz! shows the subtitle "Parties in Platform Shoes", a reference to McTony's short stature.
 He fancies himself an entrepeneur, having recently revealed a new line of adult diapers and always traveling with a crew of "spokeswhores". In one particular outing, he glassed a waitress at a restuarant whilst on a tour with his spokes whores for botching his salad order. He is mentioned in the media about planning to sue [[LC24]] magazine because they had referred to him as Napoleonic (being that he is an egomaniac and only 5 feet tall). He is lambasted by his Vinewood friends for giving his seventh son a "too normal a name", Pete.

+==Possible real-life inspirations==
 Tony McTony is partially a parody of young internet moguls, primarily [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg Mark Zuckerburg] of Facebook or the YouTube creators ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Hurley Hurley] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Chen_(YouTube) Chen]), but made more in the likeness of rap stars like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Combs Sean "Diddy" Combs], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_west Kanye West] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharrell_Williams Pharrell Williams]. McTony's antics are inspired by certain famous incidents:
 *Zuckerburg handed out [http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/11/28/8361945/index.htm business cards that read "I'm CEO... Bitch"] during the first year or so of Facebook's success in 2005. This likely inspired McTony's logo and "Bitches love initials" comment.
