Forbes' Fictional 15 Richest


Richest Woman in FictionLand?

Making my daily rounds on the net in search of something that will rip me from the depths of utter boredom, I came across one of the most random things I believe to have ever read by Forbes. Forbes has chosen (and apparently done for a few years) to make a list of the richest fictional characters in history. The list had some obvious choices (Bruce Wayne, Richie Rich) and some not so obvious (Princess Peach from Mario Bros).
Below is the list and a link to the original article.

My question to all of you though, is whether or not you can think of some more worthy characters in fiction land that out-finance the listed folks below.

The List:

1. Scrooge McDuck (Disney's Ducktales)
2. Ming the Merciless (Flash Gordon)
3. Richie Rich
4. Mom (Futurama)
5. Jed Clampett (Beverly Hillbillies)
6. Montgomery Burns (Simpsons)
7. Carter Pewterschmidt (Family Guy)
8. Bruce Wayne (Batman)
9. Thurston Howell III (Gilligan's Island)
10. Tony Stark (Ironman)
11. Fake Steve Jobs (New York Times)
12. Gomez Addams (The Adams Family)
13. Willy Wonka
14. Lucius Malfoy (Harry Potter)
15. Princess Peach (Mario Bros.)

To my surprise, one of the seemingly most rich fictional characters didn't make the list.. although i thought he should have.. Mr. Monopoly!! ... Dude's a genius. He monopolizes real estate which is the most amazing investment ever. Sure beats magic and a land filled with Sewer Tubes, Walking Shell Monsters, and Coin Boxes you have to give yourself a concussion to even make a profit.. WTF...



Thought??
