In Hitman WoA, Agent 47 can get many high-value loot such as gold, gems, antiques, precious items, etc. I find some of the loot that Agent 47 can take to be very valuable. They are almost priceless. For example, the Aztec necklace in Isle of Sgail, the Grand Paladin 1945 wine in Mendoza,…
In Freelancer mode, I see Agent 47 has the vehicles he stole from missions stored at his house.
I don’t see Agent 47 storing precious loot at his house. So I wonder what Agent 47 will do with the high-value loot.
I don’t think Agent 47 will sell them. Agent 47 will probably keep it a secret somewhere. Agent 47 is a lover of luxury, so the high-value loot he takes will suit him.

Very likely, 47 will keep for himself whatever he feels will be useful to him, either in his work or in his day to day life, invest whatever he feels can work for him in a long term financial capacity (hence the stocks he has that you can check in Freelancer), and donate the rest to worthy causes such as orphanages and research into medical advances. 47 operates on an unusual blend of minimalism and utilitarianism, of excess and extravagance, and of being progressive and helpful. He wants to avoid having anything in his life he doesn’t need that could lead to his downfall, but also wants to enjoy himself and the finer things that he can afford with his line of work, and also wants to leave a net positive mark on the world in return for both what he does and what he is. So yeah, 47 will use his ill-gotten gains from his work to either better himself, secure his future, and/or help others.
I don’t think 47 takes anything. If he’s supposed to be not leaving any trace, then nothing should be out of place. He undoubtedly makes enough money to his account that’s wired that he could have long ago retired.
Okay. No more rhymes…
I also think that he doesn’t go all out. The safehouse being an example. He could’ve easily lived in a mansion but kept it more low-key and practical. No Lamborghinis, Porches, McLarens, etc. either. A helicopter would be expensive enough. There’s no telling how many hideouts and safehouses he has in various global locations.
But let’s say 47 did have a stash of valuable items. In his line of work, anything could happen. He bites the dust and then what happens to all of it? Maybe he has it earmarked for some orphanages, hospitals, etc. But who would take care of this? Diana? Some other ‘buddy/bro/pal/friendo’ that keeps in contact with him from time to time?
There’s more nuance to consider here to even bother speculating.
Pretty much every game in the series shows that 47 had a habit of escaping in the vehicles of many of his targets. And Freelancer does establish that he’s at least open to taking the money of his targets if it benefits his mission, which in this case is weakening the syndicates. Not leaving a trace doesn’t necessarily mean not leaving any sign you were there, although that is what 47 and ICA strive to achieve; it can also simply mean leaving no trace of who specifically was there, so that investigators have nothing to go on even if they do conclude someone was there. By taking things from his targets (money, vehicles, items), 47 is taking items, but no leaving any traces of who it was that took them. Presumably, anything he sells he does so through underground connections so that it can’t be traced back to him.
He probably throws it into some homeless guy’s coffee cup which still has coffee in it.
