* In the show, Littlefinger's reputation for financial acumen is revealed to just be a ruse: he simply borrows the money. In the books, Littlefinger is a legitimate financial wizard who multiplies the revenues of Gulltown tenfold and also considerably raises the income of the crown, even though it still doesn't cover Robert's expenses.
** There are also hints that the debts are also not all due to Robert's spending, as Tyrion partially discovers that Littlefinger has crafted quite a financial house of cards with the kingdom's finances. Due to his later prolifigate spending in the Vale, it seems likely he had undertaken quite a bit of embezzlement as well as a ponzi scheme. When Tyrion takes over as Master of Coin, he remarks that he can't understand the web of loans and expenditures, and that many of the investments "smelled like old fish".
