Richie Rich, often billed as "The Poor Little Rich Boy", debuted in 1953 as a backup character in Little Dot. Richie would later receive his own comic book series in 1960. Eventually, Richie Rich became Harvey Comics' flagship character, appearing in as many as 32 Harvey titles every two months and often crossing over with Casper the Friendly Ghost.The stories feature the adventures of the titular character, Richie $ Rich (yes, his middle name is indeed a dollar sign), the world's richest boy. Born into a fantastically wealthy family, Richie lives in a lavish mansion and owns at least two of everything that money can buy. Despite this, he's generally depicted as a generous and good-hearted person.Derivative works include two Animated Series. The first, produced by Hanna-Barbera, marked the voice acting debut of Nancy Cartwright as Gloria Glad, and the second series was produced by Film Roman. Later, Warner Bros. released a 1994 feature film. The film cast Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin as Richie and Stephi Lineburg as Gloria. The film initially only earned $38,087,756 in the United States market. It was the 37th most successful film of its year, but just barely covering its budget, until coming out on VHS and making an additional $125 million in rentals and sales. Just before the movie was released, the Richie Rich comics temporarily stopped being published.A direct-to-video sequel to the movie was later released, Richie Rich's Christmas Wish (1998). It cast David Gallagher as Richie and Michelle Trachtenberg as Gloria.In 2011, Ape Entertainment published a short-lived revival series which featured Richie and his friends going on globetrotting adventures.A live-action Richie Rich series premiered on Netflix in February 2015. There's no Cadbury, no Dollar, no Mrs. Rich, no Gloria, or any other characters from the comics but Irona and Mr. Rich. Richie made his money by, according to the intro, taking all of the vegetables he refused to eat, figuring out how to make a new energy source from them and sold the process for a trillion dollars. He has a sister who seems to hate him, Irona the robot maid who looks like a teenage girl in a French maid's outfit, two friends (Murray, the money manager and Darcy, his money-spending friend who's a girl) and a father who seems developmentally stunted.In 2019, he returned to television with an appearance on the season 2 finale of Harvey Street Kids. He became a main character in Season 3, which premiered later that year. | |

Cannot Tell a Joke | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_135c6de7 | comment |
Cannot Tell a Joke: A short story has Cadbury in the next room telling some very old and clichéd jokes, and in his usual stuffy British style of speaking. Gloria is puzzled when she hears laughter, but then Richie takes her into the room and shows her that the laughter is emanating from a "laugh box" that he got for Cadbury so that at least someone would find his jokes funny. | |

Gold Tooth of Wealth | |

Gold Tooth of Wealth: To correct an overbite, Richie fits his dog, Dollar, with gold braces that were so shiny that it blinded would-be robbers and assailants. It's a fitting choice of material for the richest boy in the world. | |

Flat Joy: In a one-page gag, Richie Rich tells Cadbury a joke which he [Richie] thinks is funny. Cadbury, however, fails to laugh, and even when he goes outside to take a walk, he simply lets out a faint "haw". | |

Gem-Encrusted: Richie's mother, in the comic book. She doesn't load herself down with too many jewels, but she collects them — fully cut, faceted and polished emeralds, diamonds, rubies, aquamarines the size of baseballs — and displays them on her dresser like Fabergé eggs. | |

Early Installment Character-Design Difference | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_4348c929 | comment |
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: During the early years of the comic, Richie's mom, Regina Rich had platinum blond hair. But in the later years of the comic, Regina is now a pure blond. When Irona first appeared in issue #100, she had a completely different design. In said issue, Irona looked more robotic and lacked her maid outfit. | |

Crazy-Prepared: Richie seems to have a gadget or gizmo up his sleeve to deal with any contingency, more prevalent in the cartoon adaptation. (Most of them invented by Dr. Keenbean.) In one cartoon, when he and Reggie are held hostage by two thugs who searched and disarmed him, he improvises and uses Reggie's practical joke equipment to subdue them. | |

Not What It Looks Like | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_52d1f46e | comment |
Not What It Looks Like: Happened a few times in earlier stories, Gloria Glad tends to assume that Richie Rich is cheating on her when she sees him with another girl (whether it be his cousins or a co-star shooting for a movie). Richie Rich tries to tell her what was really going but she refuses to listen and slams the door on his face but later makes up after realizing her mistake. In one story, when Richie Rich was unexpectedly going with another girl, he was well aware that Gloria will assume that he is cheating on her with another girl and puts in his best efforts to hide himself from her. | |

Not Allowed to Grow Up | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_5f9fbd83 | comment |
Not Allowed to Grow Up: Richie Rich and the rest of the characters have remained their respective ages as the comic stories were being developed. However, both Richie Rich and Gloria Glad have imagined their adult life with the two being a married couple at least once, albeit somewhat exaggerated: In "Richie's Richie", he imagines being married to Gloria Glad and have a son also named Richie, who looks much like his father but with red hair. In this scenario, Richie Jr. is rather snobbish and overly-pampered. As a result of this imaginary future, Richie decides to "toughen up" by getting dirty and not letting his mother comb his hair. Gloria on the other hand in "Man of Money", imagines living in a mansion married to Richie Rich. However, she imagines being surrounded by ginormous piles of cash in every place in their mansion she encounters. | |

No effect on the robots. The car is comprehensively totaled. This being a kid's comic book, the driver is merely stunned. | |

Not with Them for the Money | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_9962fa8 | comment |
Not with Them for the Money: Gloria Glad is notorious for always turning down the luxurious gifts Richie offers her. She has lost her temper more than once at Richie's more outrageous stunts with his wealth and he seems unable to remember how much they annoy her. In one story, when she suddenly starts accepting his gifts greedily, it sets off alarm bells with Richie who investigates and learns he is dealing with an impostor who has kidnapped the real Gloria in order to con him out of money. It's probably important to remember that Richie never means to "show off" with his wealth. He just likes Gloria so much, he often wants to express it by buying her expensive gifts. In one story, Mayda Munny secretly gives her rival, Gloria Glad, gifts that supposedly came from Richie Rich, starting off with an expensive doll, to which Gloria says it's a perfect gift — Mayda not knowing that all those gifts Gloria received were going to be given to charity. | |

Talking Lightbulb: The villain Dr. N-R-Gee is a human being with a lightbulb for a head. In his origin story, he was a scientist who was trying out an electric head scratcher with an experimental power generator that somehow electrocuted him, and when he came to, he found out that his head has been replaced with a head-sized lightbulb. | |

Flintstone Theming: This universe offers many money-related Punny Names and they appear repeatedly for as many jokes as it can get away with. | |

Cast Full of Rich People | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_c9da2b5 | comment |
Cast Full of Rich People: Richard $ Rich, Junior, is the son of stupendously wealthy parents, and lives in a sprawling mansion where even the household staff qualify as millionaires. Richie's chief rivals are Reginald Van Dough and Mayda Munny, likewise very wealthy, but also spoiled rotten. As part of Richie's Pet the Dog personality, he keeps company with working-class Free-Range Children Freckles and Pee-Wee. | |

Spoiled Brat | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_cfc52d52 | comment |
Spoiled Brat: Richie's cousin Reggie, who is often seen as being self-centered, rude to his servants, and plays mean pranks. Mayda Munny is shown to be rather vain, selfish, and will scheme to get what she wants. | |

Criminal Amnesiac | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_d25b27c3 | comment |
Criminal Amnesiac: One issue had Richie suffer a blow to the head while trying to stop a Parisian street gang from mugging a kid, and loses his memories, becoming a surprisingly strong Enfant Terrible. Richie then joins the gang and helps in a robbery on himself. Fortunately, he is restored to normal after suffering yet another blow to the head. | |

Battle Butler | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_d9d8fd35 | comment |
Battle Butler: Cadbury. He knows enough fighting skill at times to help Richie in the comics (The Other Wiki notes, "When need demands, however, he becomes a tough, gun-toting man of action"). Butler Cadbury has a lot of other skills which come in handy. One of Richie's uncles, the athletic Olympus Van Sporting, thinks glumly, "With that butler around, who needs me?" (One of Cadbury's skills involved mountain climbing... without gear, in his butler uniform. He'd also given Olympus a Crushing Handshake, where out of earshot, Olympus dismissed him as a "sissy butler".) | |

Writers Cannot Do Math | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_da1c8191 | comment |
Writers Cannot Do Math: In a one-page comic, Reggie donates $5 to an orphanage, while Richie does the "penny doubled for 30 days" trick as his donation. According to the story, the final doubling amounts to $3,368,699.12, although the actual amount is $5,368,709.12 for the 30th day alone. If he contributed for each previous day as well, then the total contributed becomes $10,737,418.23. | |

Mama Bear: Whenever Richie's in a tight situation and he uses his signal watch, in the 1980's animated version, this instinct will cause Irona the robot maid to put her chores aside and fight any baddies that threaten Richie. | |

Wealth's in a Name | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_ec71dc46 | comment |
Wealth's in a Name: Nomen est omen. Wealthy people have names that hint at their financial status. Richie Rich just screams that this kid comes from money. Richie has a dog named Dollar. He's a pampered pet who happens to have dollar signs on his fur instead of spots. Richie's snobby cousin named Reggie van Dough (as in slang for cash). As extremely wealthy as Richie's family branch. A Rich Bitch friend named Mayda Munny ("made of money"). | |

Conspicuous Consumption | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_f005700f | comment |
Conspicuous Consumption: Boy howdy! The entire Rich family flaunts their wealth in absurdly exaggerated and hilarious ways, as a glance at even the cover of any issue will show. In many cases it’s practically the only joke. This usually includes custom luxury items covered in gold and jewels, or designed to look like dollar signs or other currency signifiers, just to reinforce the connection to wealth. On at least one occasion Richie pointed out to his mother how impractical much of this was, such as in the case of a washcloth so encrusted with jewels that you scratch your face when you try to wash with it. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: Try to bribe Cadbury and you're entering Bullying a Dragon territory. Emphasized in one story where a foreign government did it to test him because they wanted to offer him a position as Prime Minister; he turned down the offer because he felt the test only showed he was needed in his current job. | |

Depending on the Writer | |
| Richie Rich (Comic Book) / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: Throughout the comic's run, the name of Richie's hometown was never set in stone. In his appearances in the Little Dot comics, Richie lived in Bonnie Dell. In the later years of the comic, the town is either called Richville or Harveyville. The adaptations tend to go with Richville. | |
