I think there is a certain correspondence between the penultimate generation Blacks (Walburga, Alphard and Cygnus) and the Black sisters. First of all, I believe that the character similarity is very notable already from the chronological order of birth, that is, Bellatrix resembles Walburga more, Andromeda resembles Alphard and Narcissa resembles Cygnus. Bellatrix and Walburga, the eldest daughters, were the most supremacist, the most severe and, despite everything, the most passionate. Andromeda and Alphard, the middle children, were apparently calm but cunning, and at the right moment they rebelled. And finally the youngest children, Narcissa and Cygnus. Both spoiled and supremacists, however considerably less so than their older sisters, they committed to doing their duty without beating around the bush.

”Malfoy keeps looking over this way, but he’s yet to ask for a dance. Do I look odd, Andy?”
“He adores you, I can tell. He is probably just shy.”

Sirius and James were not the same type of rich, I see this a lot, and a lot of people think that it’s canon, which is just, incorrect. James came from new money, Sirius came from old money.
Fleamont Potter’s business heavily, HEAVILY contributed to James’ wealth, sure Harry by our terms and by wizard terms inherited a LOT, absolutely, but from what we know from canon it’s incomparable to the Blacks fortune, it’s like comparing Draco’s and Harry’s wealth at the start of the series, you can’t.
Another thing to add is that the Most Noble and Ancient House of Black has that name for a reason, now sure, just because they’re known doesn’t mean they’re rich but we can quite confidently say they were, if you wanted to argue for the Potters’ being wealthier, you could I guess say that at the time the Blacks were a declining old money family, but they were still incredibly, INCREDIBLY wealthy.
We don’t know for certain how rich they were, or if they were richer than the Malfoys but because of how money works, old money specifically, we can say that at some point in the last few centuries(pre 1980) that they were as rich, or even richer than the Malfoys, however they weren’t as rich as them when it reached the 80’s. We can also guess they had the same amount of money or one of them had more, because Narcissa married Lucius so theoretically, Narcissa would have to be on the same level as Lucius in terms of wealth and vice versa.
Another thing we can use to calculate their wealth is their past history with house elves, from what we know from Ronald Weasley in Chamber of Secrets, a wizard/witch has to be “rolling in dough” to have a house elf, we can then look at the wall of dead house elves heads that the family had, and can make assumptions from there.
So, with all this information, we don’t have an exact amount, but, we know that even if they weren’t as wealthy as we paint them they were still known, and their opinions were highly regarded by an astounding amount, but then again, they were still insanely rich, and in terms of wealth and fame, leagues above the Potters.
The Potters were extremely wealthy, but the Blacks were loaded.
Anyways that’s the end of my Ted talk.

Short Black family is OUT obscenely unfairly tall Black family is IN. Andromeda being taller than Ted. Regulus being slightly shorter than Sirius, who towers over pretty much everyone. Walburga who is 5’11 and 6 foot in heels. Bellatrix who towers over the other death eaters. Narcissa being the same height as Lucius Malfoy.

Day 8: Constellation
Narcissa was a dutiful daughter to her parents, her House, her legacy. She never stepped out of line or raised her voice in protest, “As a lady should,” her mother would scathingly remind in inference of her older sisters’ brashness. But Bellatrix’s taunting songs rung in her head, of the field of stars the family cast up into the night sky, and how little Cissa was the only flower stuck on the ground.

when james and regulus got married, they both walked down the aisle. both effie and fleamont walked james.
regulus was standing in the back awkwardly for a moment, and bit his lip, near to crying. he didn't have anyone to walk him.
but sirius showed up, andromeda right behind him, and together they walked regulus down the aisle to meet the love of his life.

Teddy Lupin was raised by his grandmother, Andromeda TONKS. The woman who lost her husband, daughter and son-in-law in less than six months. Teddy was all she had left and people are here wanting to hand him off to a traumatised 17 year old.
