Forbes has published their list of the fifteen richest fictional characters.
Topping their list, Santa Claus, with a reported wealth of "infinite". The profile of Santa, however, reveals labor complaints from the elves. My favorite, of course, is Lucius Malfoy, although I'm not sure what to make of the fact that Malfoy holds Microsoft stock. I also love the quote from Mr. Burns (of Simpsons fame), "Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business."
It's a funny set of articles and profiles. Worth a read.
The List:
- Santa Claus
- Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks
- Richie Rich
- Lex Luthor
- C. Montgomery Burns
- Scrooge McDuck
- Jed Clampett
- Bruce Wayne
- Thurston Howell III
- Willy Wonka
- Arthur Bach
- Ebenezer Scrooge
- Lara Croft
- Cruella De Vil
- Lucius Malfoy
