Not even, its a Chinese New year Tradition to give the Kids money for good luck and Fortune.
But i think it's based off of who's married to give the kids money.

$400 from parents. $200 from grandparents. $100 visa gift card from uncle. $20 each from 4 friends and a new pair of jeans

@geek It's customary for Chinese children to receive money inside red envelopes from their relatives and friends. It's basically equivalent to Christmas presents. It has nothing to do with being spoiled, but rather ingrained tradition.
