Lara inherited the family fortune from her parents after they passed, in the original story and background. Her parents right from the beginning have never been on the scene having died previously, we can assume. I have a tomb raider files book that was released before the 6th game and in there it states her parents died years proir to when the first game is set. And Von Croy being her mentor in her teens. It’s apparent that when she was a child. There was a plane crash killing off both her mother and father, leaving her to fend for herself in the mountains. This was her original origin background. The two people along with Winston who mourn Lara at the time of her disappearance at the beginning of the 5th game were never actually named nor were we ever given a hint as to who they actually were, so it’s left open for interpretation. But going by the book they released with all different fact files etc. That wasn’t long published after the 5th game was released and prior to AOD, it wasn’t her parents at the memorial. So whoever wrote this is mistaken. A lot of the things in the reboots regarding her parents are nowhere close to the original story and background. For example, her parents original names were Lord and Lady Henshingly Croft. No other names were given. The name “Richard Croft” only came about after the first tomb raider movie was released, as that was the characters name in the movie, and so they ran with it from then on in the future games once core design and Eidos were off the scene, Crystal Dynamics were free to do whatever they pleased with the game, Lara’s character and her history. Hope this helped :)
