I dont know from were they have the money.Some are sons of boyars and inherited some whealt from them.In the rest i dont see any trade among .My father ask a rich gipsy from were he had the money but he didnt want to answer.
The population is estimated at 1,5 milion.Oficial only 0,5 milion declare them selfs gipsy,the others declare hungarian of romanian.Most of them are metisos and you can see even so call scandinavian type(light hair and eyes).
The religion is the same as for majority of population.Gipsy from city are more secular,and thoose from rural side are more religios.From all ethnic groups around ,gipsy seem to have the most traditional christian customes.
Are huge numbers of conversions in traditional gipsy comunites to neoprotestants and evangelical churches,in recent 15 years.
