Any ideas or theories?

Barney's occupation has not been fully specified, though the company he works for (Altrucell)[9] was said to be the world's largest producer of the yellow fuzzy stuff on tennis balls (but future Ted implies that the company's main profits come from other, less innocuous sources, such as logging, oil drilling, small arms, tobacco farming and missile construction).[1] In the season 3 episode "The Bracket," it was mentioned that he is good enough at lying to avoid perjury charges. As of Season 4, his company was involved in a hostile takeover with Goliath National Bank (GNB), but he remains a powerful executive and continues to use the same office he has had since it was first shown in Season 1. Despite this, he has suggested there is the possibility he will one day wash up on shore with no teeth or fingerprints and supposedly has come under attack by ninjas in the past during work. In Season 4, during the episode "Happily Ever After", Barney states to a woman that he is an "Attorney in Law", though this was probably just part of a pick-up line as he immediately followed it with "Let's talk about getting you off". His video resume was published in Season 4 episode "The Possimpible".[10]
In the Season 4 episode "Woooo!," the leader of the Swedish architecture firm SVEN reveals Barney to be the head of the search committee. It is likely that the "search committee" was simply a project team to manage to the project of designing a new GNB building, and that "head of the search committee" is not his primary occupation. Whatever his profession, Barney is apparently quite wealthy and is undeniably the richest out of the five. He lives in an upscale apartment and is rich enough to own two 300 inch televisions shipped from Japan as well as expensive memorabilia, including Clone trooper and Imperial Stormtrooper costumes from the Star Wars films.[11] He frequently buys expensive items, such as a last-minute plane ticket to San Francisco, thousands of dollars in postage stamps, or two televisions specifically for smashing in frustration, on the spur of the moment.
