Forbes Magazine has compiled a list of the richest characters, predominantly from TV, film and publishing, and it is topped by Scrooge McDuck with a cool $44b.
Sorry Hugo from Lost, you don’t make the cut.
To qualify for the Fictional 15, characters must be known, both within their fictional universe and by their audience, for being rich. Net worth estimates are based on an analysis of the fictional character’s source material, and where possible, valued against known real-world commodity and share price movements.
1. Scrooge McDuck – $44.1 billion (Mining, Treasure hunting)
2. Carlisle Cullen – $36.2 billion (Compound Interest, Investments)
3. Artemis Fowl II – $13.5 billion (Theft, Forgery, Facebook)
4. Richie Rich – $9.7 billion (Inheritance, Conglomerates)
5. Jed Clampett – $9.5 billion (Oil and Gas)
6. Tony Stark – $9.4 billion (Defense)
7. Smaug – $8.6 billion (Marauding)
8. Bruce Wayne – $7.0 billion (Inheritance, Defense)

Who is Carlisle Cullen, Smaug, Mr Monopoly, Arthur Bach, Jo Bennett, Chuck Bass?
I guess they only took the richest from their universe, because Flintheart Glomgold is almost as rich as Scrooge.
Love it! Couple of names I don’t know on the list though.
surprised by carlisle cullen, I would have thought millions not billions especially not enough to come 2nd on this list.
Stark is 6th? Wow, he’d be shattered if he knew.
This is good for a laugh though, I like that the Forbes guys have a sense of humour. Keep it up fellas.
Not sure whether this one counts or not but what about Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane?
I wonder who’d be the richest fictional character from Australian TV, film & publishing? Is Eddie Everywhere fictional?
Far out, what does Shaun Micallef have to do to get on a list these days! 😀
Good News for the ladies, alot of these blokes are single!!!
Really Chuck Bass is a Billionaire?
Wow. The people at Forbes Magazine must either be Big Sci Fi/Comic fans, or they are Really bored!
That said, very funny!
Interesting that Tony Stark is worth more than Bruce Wayne – not that I’m disagreeing, just curious to know how they judged that, seeing as they are both in the same industry…
But Andy, he lost it to the Cubans!!
Thurston Howell the 3rd?
Hey, Mr Burns owned a $1 trillion bill.
