Fiction 500	comment	Fiction is loaded with Wish-Fulfillment, and being rich enough to bend reality is one of them. These are characters whose wealth is almost impossible to quantify. More Money Than God is the bare minimum. Now this could happen in Real Life, like royalty who owned literally thousands of Pimped Out Dresses, or a man in India who built a private skyscraper for his family, staff, and fleet of cars, or Marcus Licinius Crassus, who had three times as much money as Bill Gates and personally funded the reconstruction of the Roman army. But in fiction, that's on the lower end of this scale. Stuff that generally does not qualify you to be a member of the Fiction 500: Big Fancy House, Cool Chair, Cool Boat, Cool Plane, Cool Car, Battle Butler, Maid Corps, or even simply having assets in the billions. Stuff that generally does qualify you to be a member of the Fiction 500: You have become a cultural symbol for absurd wealth, and the story leaves no doubt your reputation is completely justified. You routinely spend money on a scale normal super-rich people might do once or twice in a lifetime, whether it be major investments or mere Conspicuous Consumption. If a real amount is given, even if in the hundreds of millions, or billions, it's chump change to these characters. You personally fund projects associated with major corporations, governments, aliens, etc. This includes Crimefighting with Cash. You have the resources of a global superpower without yourself ruling a global superpower. You personally fund projects that apparently break the rules of physics using only wealth and the Rule of Cool, or sometimes Rule of Funny. In other words, Screw The Universe; I Have Money! But if some other convenient fictional trope makes something possible, it doesn't count. You don't buy sound in space when Space Is Noisy. It's not impressive to have Infinite Supplies when everyone else does. Building a Humongous Mecha is not noteworthy when any random scientist can make five in a weekend. You're surprised to discover your latest project's market success has not increased your net income because you have a monopoly on the product it's competing with. In fact, it may have underperformed or come as a slight loss because you're running up an unnecessary expense accidentally competing with yourself, and you haven't noticed because "losses" don't register when it comes to your money. You can do any of the above without leaving a paper trail or an electronic footprint. Many of these Fiction 500 rich characters operate either clandestinely or under a secret identity, especially if they are Crimefighting with Cash, The Chess Master or Evil Mastermind types. They must have methods for secretly diverting hundreds of millions or billions of dollars to their schemes (like building that army of Mooks, Elaborate Underground Base, Bat Cave, or Batmobile) while making it seem like a legit and legal expenditure or keeping it out of the books. It should be noted that even if a character uses their personal fortune, these transactions would still typically have to show up somewhere when tax time comes. Now personality doesn't really matter. You could be a Rich Bitch or Uncle Pennybags. You could be a law abiding citizen and even be Batman, or instead think you can screw the rules. Name is based on the top 500 grossing companies annually compiled by "Fortune" Magazine. And despite the name implying otherwise, there can be any number of characters here. Also, there is almost no way to objectively rank them, although Forbes tries with their "Fictional 15" list. Compare Arbitrarily Large Bank Account, Conspicuous Consumption, Undisclosed Funds, Organization with Unlimited Funding, and N.G.O. Superpower. For real people who are considered the richest in the world, see The World's Billionaires, an annual ranking made by Forbes (which has its own article on The Other Wiki, BTW).

Fiction 500 / int_11c29fc4	comment	In Haruka Nogizaka's Secret, Gentou Nogizaka bought an island, complete with castle and resort, as well as supersonic jets, for the express purpose of celebrating his daughter's birthday. Beyond that, he has his own private army and ninja maid staff, and apparently spends most of his time with world leaders and intelligence agencies. His father-in-law is retired, but remains outrageously influential: according to The Other Wiki, "If he wants, all great leaders in the world will gather at one place for a high level conference within three hours."

Fiction 500 / int_12300cc3	comment	Watchmen: Adrian Veidt became absurdly rich on the patent for the spark hydrants that power the electric cars of the Watchmen world. He also owns dozens of other companies, but his ultimate money-wasting venture is that of creating a massive "alien" creature on a private island which he then teleports into New York City and "saves the world" from. Oh, and he owns a palace in Antarctica, too. The funny thing is that he was already rich as a teenager, then gave away the wealth and, starting from scratch, built a second fortune. The movie features Veidt on the cover of Forbes magazine, and the company included him in a "fictional 500" list of richest fictional characters on their website.

Fiction 500 / int_135f4195	comment	Dune: Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV Corrino is the CEO of CHOAM (Combine Honnete Ober Advanced Mercantiles), which has an exclusive monopoly on Spice, a drug found on the planet Arrakis. The main selling point of spice is that it prolongs the life of its user, cures all diseases, makes you clairvoyant, and gets you addicted with one dose. This is in addition to being The Emperor of a whole galaxy (which is a requirement to become CEO of CHOAM). Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, who held the contract to run the spice-harvesting operation for approximately a century until immediately prior to the first book, similarly became obscenely wealthy from his share of the spice sales, enough that Emperor Shaddam viewed him as a threat to his power. By stripping the Harkonnens of the CHOAM contracts and giving them to Duke Leto Atreides, and then helping Baron Harkonnen destroy House Atreides in an Allowed Internal War, the Emperor killed two birds with one stone: he rid himself of the threat of the Atreides' soft power (their respect in the Landsraad), and simultaneously impoverished the Harkonnens to remove them as a threat by forcing Baron Harkonnen to move his entire household and army from Arrakis to Geidi Prime and then back to Arrakis. CHOAM also has the rare distinction of being the richest company in FICTION.

Fiction 500 / int_167d0312	comment	In Dance in the Vampire Bund, Mina Tepes pays off Japan's entire national debt, which is around 40 TRILLION dollars and does not seem financially hurt in the slightest by it. Of course, she already controls enough of the world's resources that the odds are pretty good that she was already indirectly Japan's largest creditor, and being able to openly sponsor the current government is likely a fair trade for canceling a bad debt. Given the amount of shifting goods and companies around this would have entailed, and the justification it would have provided for a thorough corporate housecleaning, she might even have come out ahead on the deal.

Fiction 500 / int_1a12bbee	comment	The Mighty Thor: As Prince and sometimes King of Asgard, Thor is pretty well off. He once purchased an entire steel mill to forge battle armor by walking into the owner's office and dumping a bag of gold on the table, stating "The Rhinegold of myth is quite real". And years later, when Thor restored Asgard after suffering its latest "Ragnarok", he purchased a huge plot of land to place the city on, and he did this by leading the land owner into the Royal Treasure Chamber with literal MOUNTAINS of gold and precious gems, telling the man to "take whatever you want and leave". The man got help and filled his pickup truck, making no discernible dent in the treasure. Balder and even non-royals like The Warriors Three routinely buy things on Earth or make reparations for damage (or worse, pay for Volstagg's food orgies) with sacks of gold that they hand out freely.

Fiction 500 / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Charles Xavier's inherited fortune made him able to turn the basement of a mansion into an Elaborate Underground Base with an absurdly advanced holodeck room, as well as building various vehicles, including helicopters and a really advanced jet. Plus the Cerebro. Those can't come cheap. note Although, with Magneto's help, all labor costs would pretty much become zero, meaning he's only really paying for parts. At least during the times when Magneto was his ally and not his arch-enemy. Eventually, his even richer girlfriend, Shi'Ar Empress Lilandra (who owned an entire galaxy) provided upgrades to much of Xavier's facilities. Note that the jet in question was a custom-modified SR-71 Blackbird, bought straight from Lockheed. Lockheed in real life never sold Blackbirds to anyone except the US government, since the technology was largely top secret. This illustrates that Xavier is both ludicrously rich and even more ludicrously well-connected. Or he just used his psychic powers to convince whoever was responsible to get him what he needed. Also, everything on this list — Cerebro, the mansion, the Blackbird, and other smaller planes and helicopters — gets destroyed whenever the plot requires them not to have it or wants to show "this villain is serious." And everything on this list will be replaced, often with a better version that more closely matches whatever it looks like in the most recent film, by the next time it's needed. This in addition to the sprawling facilities and Star Trek-level gadgetry. That places Professor X in Tony Stark's tier, but unlike the other characters with unlimited resources, we never hear about his business ventures, or trouble with any companies of his during the times Xavier is in space or believed by all to be dead. Was his dad so rich that the X-Men can keep this up indefinitely without it being replenished, or is there an unseen Xavier Industries comparable to what Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark has? Emma Frost (who herself is a case: she's grown wealthy, and inherited the family business even if she ran away from home for her own safety) is known to have used her telepathy to get insider information for playing the stock market. Given that in his younger years, Xavier was decidedly less ethical about invading (and even altering) people's minds, one wonders if he did the same thing in order to enhance his wealth. Simply being heavily invested in other people's companies could give Xavier vast wealth without having to run a company of his own, if he picked the right companies. Angel's no slouch either. While his fortune is not flaunted to the degree that Tony Stark's is, he's able to say "Oh, don't worry, I'll just write a check" to expenditures that would boggle the mind. He's also financed several of the teams he's been a part of (such as the Champions, the New Defenders, X-Factor and X-Force) out of his own pocket. Now in the Krakoan Age, Mutants have a monopoly on certain pharmaceuticals that can only be produced on Krakoa. It's also demonstrated that Xavier used his family fortune and Moira's foreknowledge to invest in a wildly diverse and incredibly lucrative portfolio from entertainment to waste management, finally explaining where the money comes from. Oneshot Cable foe Jackie Singapore is noted to be richer than both Stark and Bill Gates, and 17% of Singapore's population thinks the country is named after him. It's also implied that entire countries make decisions based on his word, and that he can, among other things, get the two Koreas to actually agree on something. Arcade is so rich that, in Avengers Arena, he personally bankrolls the construction of a Death Course the size of a small country, locates it on a private island off the coast of Antarctica, and packs it with so much ridiculously advanced technology that he is essentially a Reality Warper within its borders. In an early appearance, Arcade is able to steal Shi'ar technology from the Xavier Mansion, but having a sample of alien super-tech is one thing. Having the resources to reverse-engineer and duplicate it requires serious cash. Especially on the scale that Arcade does it. And prior to Avengers Arena, Arcade has been doing the same thing for decades on a smaller scale with dozens of iterations of "Murderworld". Whenever superheroes shut him down in one city, he buys his way out of jail time (whether through hiring top lawyers or just outright bribery is never specified) and sets up a new Murderworld somewhere else. Every Murderworld is a combination Elaborate Underground Base and Amusement Park of Doom, and he somehow has the resources to build such sprawling facilities undetected beneath New York City, among other places. Roberto da Costa, a.k.a. Sunspot, is another example. His father was an extremely wealthy and influential Afro-Brazilian businessman, and when he died, Roberto inherited his company and all his wealth. While an Avenger, Roberto famously defeated A.I.M. not through violence, but by simply buying them out and firing all of their villainous higher-ups. He now funds the New Avengers out of his own pocket, and is not shy about flaunting his wealth to motivate his "employees"; when one of his scientists comes up with a successful plan to save the day, he rewards her by buying her a new Lexus.

Fiction 500 / int_1f140feb	comment	Thingol, King of Doriath in The Silmarillion. Put it this way: Elros and Elrond split up his money. Elros used his half to build a fleet and then a ginormous palace. Elrond used his half to build Rivendell. And that was after the dwarves had raided Thingol's treasury because he refused to pay them for their work making the Nauglamir. Which was also gone by the time Elrond and Elros got there. Basically, the guy was loaded. But, as per usual in Tolkien's stories: this ended up badly for him. In the same book: apparently the Noldor took quite a bit of cash with them when they went to Middle Earth (presumably in the form of jewelry and weaponry). Gondolin, the city founded by King Turgon, was said to be the largest and most beautiful city in Middle Earth, although "a pale reflection of Elven Tirion in the Undying Lands"(where, of course, you don't need money to have cool stuff). Given the size of Minas Tirith, Gondolin must have been eye-poppingly huge. Ost-in-Edhil, aka Moria, was apparently also a very wealthy city and some of it's wealth can be seen in Lothlorien.

His net worth was measured in billions and he had large stakes in many companies and also in the Jeffersonian itself. Once while they were dating, he bought Angela perfume costing thousands of dollars an ounce. Unlike many examples, he never flaunted his wealth and hated being rich. In season 8, he lost it all, though, to hacker Christopher Pelant. Oddly, the repercussions appeared minimal.

In the Malloreon, people who are introduced to him will identify him as "the richest man in the world," though he admits that there might still be some governments that are richer than him. Interestingly, while he readily considers the art of making money "The Great Game," he has absolutely no interest in the money itself, calling it "nothing more than a way to keep count of the score." On at least one occasion he willingly left all the cash and valuables he had gathered to that point behind. Oh, yeah, he took a moment to sigh over the loss, then just sorta tossed it over his shoulder and never looked back.

He regularly blows money on massive parties and bankrolls his friends' ventures. It's suggested that his family was also wealthy, and in general he appears to be Born Lucky.

No one knows exactly where his wealth originated from though EP7 reveals that it was Italian gold stored on a submarine, but he used it to buy his own private island off Japan, although the Japanese government supposedly doesn't allow it. Said money was used to singlehandedly revive the family from nothing after an earthquake killed the main family and destroyed everything they had using nothing more than the money and seemingly being able to turn the odds being against him into a SUPERPOWER. Not to mention, the guy has ten tons of gold just sitting around, or so the legend goes.

Krusty the Clown is a subversion. His comedy show and a merchandising empire that would put Disney to shame have made him a multimillionaire. Unfortuantely, everything from the fact that he's lost huge amounts of money on disastrous promotions (one bungled sponsorship cost him $44 million), his spending on things that are ridiculously extravagant even by this page's standards (buying priceless comic books to light his cigarettes, eating condor egg omelettes and purchasing bling jewelry like ruby-studded clown noses) and his massive gambling debts all mean he's been nearly or completely broke multiple times.

He got a planet in the first game for getting all the treasure. Heck, the Mario Spinoffs alone show him with a personal gold mine, multiple stadiums, a colosseum, multiple whole cities and a lot of other stuff. Oh, and the WarioWare games apparently sell thousands, if not millions in copies in the game stories. And he still wants more. However, Wario's fortune varies between games, since in other games, he is shown living in a normal house instead of a castle. In the first WarioWare, he converts his house on the top of a mountain pillar into a videogame company and then he moves into another normal house in later games, the intro of WarioWare Gold confirms that Wario became broke, and plots a scheme to become rich, and in WarioWare: Get It Together! he doesn't even have the original flashy company headquarters on the mountain pillar after it was destroyed, and the new WarioWare Inc. building looks like a cheap garage.

Better yet, one victory condition requires you to be rich enough to buy the planet outright, so any player can easily join the Fiction 500. The Spiritual Successor Civilization: Beyond Earth has the American Reclamation Corporation, which has been able to fund an interstellar colonization mission on par with some world governments. The other Spiritual Successor Pandora: First Contact has the Noxium Corporation, which has a monopoly on asteroid mining in the Solar System (by using Imperium to sabotage the competitors' efforts to move in on their turf). They have their own extremely competent R&D division, which manages to improve the Alcubierre Drive developed by the Togra University to make interstellar travel possible. When the Imperium betrays them and "commandeers" their first interstellar colony ship, Noxium's stock drops like a stone, but the Director has anticipated this and had his people bet the farm on the stock dropping, which ends up not only covering the company's losses but giving them enough money to build more such ships, which they then sell on the open market.

In addition, several members of the family own personal space yachts with more firepower than an average galaxy police warship. Note that this applies only to the Emperor and those who live with him; his relatives living on Earth don't fare quite as well — though technically they are considered missing persons stranded on a remote and uncivilized planet. Earth is implied to be an unofficial vacation spot for the royal family (though probably because some of its membersnote Yosho, for those wondering are stranded there), so many of them are simply staying there by choice. The Kuramitsu family owns garden planets, as in planets for the sole purpose of the family and friends to spend nice weekends at. And their wealth is petty change compared to the Emperor. Given the Kuramitsu clan is royalty of the Jurai's rival empire of Seniwa, it's hardly surprising. Or they were royalty prior to Seniwa becoming a republic, but despite no longer holding a royal title the Kuramitsu family are still very much in charge.

T'Challa is king of Wakanda, meaning he legally controls the trade and distribution of Vibranium (Captain America's shield is made of that stuff and Adamantium), and according to the comics, Vibranium costs $10,000 per gram. According to Doomwar #1, the Wakandan vaults have 10,000 tons of it. Do the math: it's all worth $9.7 trillion, more than the GPA of the nonfictional world. Unfortunately, a plot by Doctor Doom to loot the Vibranium forced T'Challa to use a failsafe that rendered the stockpile inert and potentially worthless, but that doesn't mean it will always be. While not quite as loose with his money as Iron Man or Angel, he's also used his wealth to make a few pretty significant contributions over the years. Case in point: he provided the Avengers with their first Quinjet, and continued to provide more advanced versions of the craft for a number of years.

Once she joins the harem, she buys out their high school to become the "chairwoman" so as to spend time with Rentarou, despite having no teaching credentials, and she's able to have clothes made for the entire harem overnight. Even when she was a baby, the family company was wealthy enough to sponsor a TV show and get them to make changes to both the show and its merchandise.

In the finale, it's revealed that he bought up undisclosed numbers of other major corporations purely to obtain the plans to build a backup to the interstellar teleporter, which nearly bankrupted a consortium of world governments, and that he's manipulated nearly every terrestrial person or event in the film purely through use of his bank balance. Carl Sagan's novel goes into thorough detail about the ingenious ways he acquired his fortune, starting with a machine that automatically changes the TV channel the second a commercial starts and culminating in essentially a futuristic city-sized brothel based on ancient Babylon crossed with Las Vegas.

While he has some help with the fact that his step-uncle is John Jameson Sr. (that's J. Jonah Jameson's dad), it does give him a lot more freedom and the chance to enhance his webs. However, an interesting thing about this is that, while he does have a successful business, he's completely out of his league and has become a massive target for other foes, such as the Zodiac and the Ghost. It ultimately gets so bad that Peter ultimately decides to destroy everything to keep it out of Doctor Octopus' tentacles in Secret Empire, financially destroying him.

Fiction 500 / int_46dacb10	comment	Richie Rich: Richard and Regina Rich, and their son, Richie. Richie apparently receives his allowance in stacks of $100 bills (for some time, the canon was a weekly allowance of $100K). Their personal maid, Irona, is a Do-Anything Robot which the Rich family paid scientists to invent. One of Regina's hobbies is collecting gemstones — not to wear for jewelry, or keep in a vault or museum, but to display on her dresser. Parody blog Occupy Richie Rich deconstructs this, painting a Crapsack World where the working class is bullied endlessly by the Rich family, and Richie himself often commits questionable acts for the sake of a bad money-related pun. In the movie, their wealth is stated at $70 billion, which in 1994 would put them #1 on Forbes' richest person list in a walk. (At the time, Bill Gates's net worth was about $10 billion.) It took 20 years for a single individual to break the $70 billion barrier (Carlos Helu, Jr.), and the current richest man, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has about $113 billion. This means that if the Riches were only as successful and philanthropic as Bill Gates in the past 20 years, they'd have over $500 billion to their name.

However, it is not till much later that we find out just how extremely rich he is. Sherlock and Mycroft need to find data that has been stolen from a bank's computer system so they make an appointment to visit the bank. The bankers think that they are there on behalf of their father and on very short notice organize a banquet for them that would easily feed a dozen people. When the bankers discover the real reason for the visit, they are disappointed since they were hoping that they might be able to get a small percentage of Holmes Sr.'s banking business. To put things in perspective, the data theft will cost the bank millions and ruin their reputation but having the Holmes family as clients is seen as more profitable than recovering the data.

Unlike the Undying King who faces an uprising and has only partial control of a nearly dead world, the Iskal Queen is the sole ruler of Corsus and it's a rich, verdant world. The offer she gives you for the Guardian Heart is to use her immense wealth to help your quest. And it shows, where the Undying King only gives you a Magitek scythe, the Queen gives you a new set of good armour and a Gear Punk crossbow (plus you'll be forced to kill the Undying King so that nets you a Magitek assault rifle and a strong new ability). And in the adventure mode, if you see her again, she's still grateful and will give you an artifact that unlocks The Monolith that will eventually net you some new abilities and one of the best sets of armour in the game.

Fiction 500 / int_5690420f	comment	Uncle Scrooge of DuckTales (1987) has a towering building he calls his "money bin" full of money. He swims, skis, and otherwise plays around in it. This isn't even the sum of all his money, just his liquid assets — he also owns a large number of companies. And he earned it all square! Ironically, despite his opulent mansion, he is also quite the penny-pincher, and doesn't like spending any more than is absolutely necessary. In one episode, his money bin is even described as the tallest building in Duckberg. This happens again in the reboot of DuckTales. In this case, they quantify Scrooge McDuck's wealth a bit more, saying that he's a multi-trillionaire and throwing around numbers like 10 million spent on keeping vengeance curses on Scrooge at bay, or 20 thousand on a velvet pillow for his decoy number one dime. One episode narrows his total fortune down to the ten-septillion range. He also manages to have businesses in several cities beyond just Duckburg as well as several departments such as experimental tech, a film studio, and an energy/utility company. Within his mansion, he has apples that have diamonds in them (presumably for decoration rather than for eating), paintings of his family and exploits all around, a pool, a peacock he lets fly around, and several other valuable artifacts lying around that might make his 1987 counterpart scowl in disapproval. And to top it all off, he still has that famous money bin lying around, though he does less swimming in it these days.

Fiction 500 / int_56e10d85	comment	Tolkien's Legendarium: The Hobbit: Smaug sleeps atop a pile of coins and jewelry, which Forbes had some fun evaluating, (be sure to read the comments, one of which raises the value of the pile substantially, and even adds Smaug's armor collection — the resulting sum is so absurd the article's author replies with "I don't find that credible") and even was enough to put him atop their list in 2012. On the qualitative side, keep in mind that when Smaug died, all of the surrounding countries went to war, just over the argument of who got to loot his hoard. It's also worth mentioning the previous owners of most of Smaug's treasure, the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain. Smaug never spends any of his hoard, but the dwarves were consumers and producers in a market society, and they lived under a mountain jam-packed with precious minerals. The kings of the Lonely Mountain would unquestionably stand as part of the Fiction 500 as well. Thingol, King of Doriath in The Silmarillion. Put it this way: Elros and Elrond split up his money. Elros used his half to build a fleet and then a ginormous palace. Elrond used his half to build Rivendell. And that was after the dwarves had raided Thingol's treasury because he refused to pay them for their work making the Nauglamir. Which was also gone by the time Elrond and Elros got there. Basically, the guy was loaded. But, as per usual in Tolkien's stories: this ended up badly for him. In the same book: apparently the Noldor took quite a bit of cash with them when they went to Middle Earth (presumably in the form of jewelry and weaponry). Gondolin, the city founded by King Turgon, was said to be the largest and most beautiful city in Middle Earth, although "a pale reflection of Elven Tirion in the Undying Lands"(where, of course, you don't need money to have cool stuff). Given the size of Minas Tirith, Gondolin must have been eye-poppingly huge. Ost-in-Edhil, aka Moria, was apparently also a very wealthy city and some of it's wealth can be seen in Lothlorien.

Fiction 500 / int_56fa0ea4	comment	Somewhat similarly to the Alpha Centauri example, in certain iterations of Civilization, you may have the opportunity, if you play your cards right, for your civilization to get insanely rich, and thereby use its money to basically buy victory. This is easiest with the Spaceship victory, since in most iterations the forms of government that allow you to hurry production of the starship (and everything else) with cash are also the forms of government that allow you to get incredible amounts of cash in the first place. The Venetian civ from Civilization V takes the cake, as they are specifically designed this way. Playing as them, you cannot found new cities and are stuck with one. But you get twice the trade routes (which can easily make you filthy rich) and the Great Person "Merchant of Venice", who can outright buy City States. In Civilization VI, Mali gets ridiculously large bonuses towards gold generation from trade routes that start in deserts, as well as a unique district with extra gold adjacency bonuses and discounts on gold and faith purchases. This lets them outright buy most of the things they need, such as units, buildings, Great People and (with the right Governor upgrades) entire districts. A Mali player will generally be the richest player in the game by far. Given that their leader, Mansa Musa, was likely one of, if not the wealthiest single person in human history, this isn't surprising.

The only hint of their wealth, aside from party member Kei Nanjo and his butler Yamaoka, is a scene in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment where they are revealed to have enough money to completely erase any hints of involvement with the supernatural with a simple phonecall. From the butler. As a matter of fact, the Kirijo Group is mentioned to have originally split off from the Nanjo Group, and the two companies still work closely together.

Fiction 500 / int_5921531a	comment	The Kirijo Group in Persona 3 are a globally known MegaCorp that, in addition to creating electronics and being involved with research on Shadows (the enemies fought throughout this game and the next), created a man made island (the setting of the game, no less). Party member Mitsuru Kirijo shows off their wealth quite well: a video recording notes that her room in the party's dorm is more luxurious and has a private bathroom, her family has a fashion consultant, they own a vacation home at a nearby beach area, and that certainly doesn't cover all of the technology they've made in regards to hunting Shadows, including Anti-Shadow weapons Aigis and Persona 4: Arena's Labrys. Her wealth also crosses with Arbitrarily Large Bank Account, as it's implied that she covers a lot of expenses for SEES, and it's implied that the only reason Akihiko, an orphan, could go around the world on a journey and possibly re-enroll into college after Persona 4: Arena (in Real Life, college applications in Japan revolve around exams and there's very little flexibility for those who choose it or opt to go straight to work instead) is because he has Mitsuru and Aigis backing him up both financially and reputation-wise.

Before the Great War, he was the Owner and CEO of one of the largest corporations on the entire planet, bought out dozens if not hundreds of other large corporations, and personally funded research into a life support system that would give the Golden Throne a run for its money. After discovering that the world would end fifteen years prior with the Power of Math, he set about to personally fund the transformation of the greater Las Vegas Area (which by this point in time he owned, save for a single business owned by his half-brother, the reason for this being that he bought all of the Las Vegas area and screwed with the local economy solely to screw over said brother) into an impenetrable missile-proof fortress, complete with anti-missile lasers fitted into the rooftops of casinos, orbiting satellites designed to fry incoming ICBMs, and an entire army of extremely well-armed robots armed with absurd amounts of weaponry and self-repair systems. After the war, he spent, on average, around a million caps a year on mercenaries and salvage teams for more than two hundred years in an effort to recover a platinum poker chip that contained the updated software that would turn his army of killer robots into an army of military grade killer robots. Robert House is on this list by virtue of being the only one with enough money to be able to survive a nuclear holocaust and thrive afterwards in a world where Everything Is Trying to Kill You.

Fiction 500 / int_5ada53ed	comment	Many James Bond villains are apparently quite wealthy, though exact figures are rarely given. In fact, there likely isn't even one Bond villain that does not fit the Screw the Rules, I Have Money! trope. In all of his appearances in the franchise, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the ruthless leader of SPECTRE and 007's biggest Arch-Enemy, has a vast amount of resources to rival developed nations and likes Playing Both Sides of the Cold War into slowly destroying each other via False Flag Operations, despite being of humble origins. All of his appearances have at least one Supervillain Lair. Also, being the head of what in essence is a shadow empire operating through various Front Organizations gives him enough clout into tilting geopolitical events through his proxies, all while stroking his Right-Hand Cat in his Cool Chair and threatening to condemn the world to chaos if he doesn't get what he wants. Goldfinger is another example, being that he's obsessed with gold, has a gold-plated gun, drives a gold-plated Rolls-Royce Phantom III, and part of his Evil Plan is to nuke Fort Knox to corner the gold market. Mr. Big (Live and Let Die) and Franz Sanchez (Licence to Kill)'s drug empires secretly control entire countries (nominally fictional, but they're blatantly Haiti and Panama). Hugo Drax from Moonraker is the world's foremost manufacturer of space shuttles, and builds an entire space station apparently with his own money. Elliot Carver from Tomorrow Never Dies is noted by supplemental materials to be the most powerful man in the world at the time of the film. His media empire can send a government crashing down with a single news story.

Even if you discount the whole "Hive Mind of gigantic ships" thing, he's still the owner of the biggest warship manufacturing complex in the whole galaxy, as well as its entire output. Very few can claim their MegaCorp unofficially owns the Milky Way galaxy. Though after the intergalactic war against the Pa'anuri, in which most of his ships were destroyed and both the greatest asset of the war and the comparable asset he had were seized as wartime assets and denied to him afterwards, he admits he's entirely bankrupt. After the Toughs become the military arm of the Neofan Freehold (a revived Precursor race with lots of Lost Technology), they gain a budget typically referred to as "all the numbers." When they need to hire a police force quickly due to a scheduling mix-up, the police chief has some difficulty getting them to suggest a price, because they just don't care.note It also "helps" that the force is the first, and only, group they want to put a bid in. Their reputation is just that good.

Fiction 500 / int_5e150650	comment	Exalted features several characters of particularly obscene wealth. Chejop Kejak's personal salary is the equivalent of a Guild factor's entire investment network. The investments and personal treasury of a Guild hierarch are equivalent to the wealth of one of Creation's mightiest trade-nations and the operating budget of the most powerful army in the world. The personal wealth of the Scarlet Empress is able to back the currency used by the vast majority of people in the Realm (which, note, is Creation's single largest economy), as well as being the credit for its most powerful bank. Even those are minimal compared to the finances of some of the wealthiest Exalted of the First Age. Further, the nature of reality in creation (a consensual one supported by the Order-Conferring Trade Pattern that exists as a bulwark against primordial chaos) means that large transactions by fiction 500 characters can damage the trade pattern, and therefore, REALITY ITSELF. Stock market crashes are deadly in Exalted.

Fiction 500 / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: Black Panther: T'Challa was an example until Doctor Doom pulled some crap. T'Challa is king of Wakanda, meaning he legally controls the trade and distribution of Vibranium (Captain America's shield is made of that stuff and Adamantium), and according to the comics, Vibranium costs $10,000 per gram. According to Doomwar #1, the Wakandan vaults have 10,000 tons of it. Do the math: it's all worth $9.7 trillion, more than the GPA of the nonfictional world. Unfortunately, a plot by Doctor Doom to loot the Vibranium forced T'Challa to use a failsafe that rendered the stockpile inert and potentially worthless, but that doesn't mean it will always be. While not quite as loose with his money as Iron Man or Angel, he's also used his wealth to make a few pretty significant contributions over the years. Case in point: he provided the Avengers with their first Quinjet, and continued to provide more advanced versions of the craft for a number of years. Fantastic Four: Reed Richards. You can miss it because it's not part of his character like Tony (or even Angel, who flaunts it some), but it's there. The Baxter Building is huge and super-luxurious, and the materials needed to make his many tools and vehicles and scientific equipment don't grow on trees (and sometimes require Unobtanium that is ridiculously hard to come by.) Making another of something that blows up is never a problem, and he'll always pull out bigger and better versions of any of the team's signature gear. Basically, it turns out that Reed Richards is NOT useless, and money from selling inventions that don't endanger the planet (sorry, no pocket Negative Zone portals) as well as the Four's celebrity status (they get cash from every film, action figure, etc.) - not even counting the stuff he gets paid not to release since it would single-handedly render the entire industry irrelevant resulting in millions of people losing their jobs - has made him rich enough that a trivial little problem like "doing this would require ten times the amount of money that exists in the world" will never hold the Four back. Reed is so rich that he rakes in more money than the entire US GDP. The Incredible Hercules: The title character is able to purchase entire bars with gold he has in his pocket, and his diverse portfolio requires two superheroes a full week to even gather, let alone settle, in the wake of his (temporary) demise. One example alone that qualifies for this list: he was one of the initial investors in Stark Enterprises, whose founder is listed below. When the size of the investment was calculated, a second line of zeroes was required. Assuming 1.25 inch margins on each side of the page and a 12-point font, this investment would come to at least 10 novemdecillion (10^61) dollars. (Though after the fourth novemdecillion dollars, who's really counting?) Iron Fist: Danny Rand is pretty fabulously wealthy too. He notably replaced Tony Stark as the bankroller of the New Avengers during the period where they were branded fugitives after Civil War. Iron Man: Anthony (Tony) Edward Stark. Even without any funds, he's a gadgeteer genius who managed to build the Iron Man suit out of, basically, tin cans and string. That said, having loads of spare suits, many built in a lab in his own house most definitely counts. As does having a fully automated production facility in his garage that can build him another one in 5 hours. Case in point: Spider-Man thinks they should all get armor. Tony responds by asking if Spidey has seven billion dollars.◊ And in Mini-Marvels Tony does give everyone powered armor just to prove how awesome he is. He also keeps fully working versions of previous armors in a trophy room, has destroyed them to keep them out of enemy hands, and apparently rebuilt them for the unlikely occasions when they'd come in useful in the future. Tony's ridiculous fortune is lampshaded in the pages of Avengers Vol. 4: The Avengers can be quite the Destructive Saviours. When buildings get knocked over, streets get blown up, and cars get pitched at Killer Robots, who gets the bill? And never misses that money? That alone would make Tony one of the more impressive examples. The Mighty Thor: As Prince and sometimes King of Asgard, Thor is pretty well off. He once purchased an entire steel mill to forge battle armor by walking into the owner's office and dumping a bag of gold on the table, stating "The Rhinegold of myth is quite real". And years later, when Thor restored Asgard after suffering its latest "Ragnarok", he purchased a huge plot of land to place the city on, and he did this by leading the land owner into the Royal Treasure Chamber with literal MOUNTAINS of gold and precious gems, telling the man to "take whatever you want and leave". The man got help and filled his pickup truck, making no discernible dent in the treasure. Balder and even non-royals like The Warriors Three routinely buy things on Earth or make reparations for damage (or worse, pay for Volstagg's food orgies) with sacks of gold that they hand out freely. Spider-Man: Norman Osborn/Green Goblin is so rich and well connected that he can get himself out of any charges as the Goblin, get a political position with ease, and form his own evil SHIELD army, HAMMER. An alternate version of him, the Ghost Goblin, from Jason Aaron's Avengers run described himself as "the richest man in the multiverse", with enough cash to bribe Elder Gods. Come The Amazing Spider-Man (2015), Peter Parker joins the upper crust, having turned Parker Industries, a company Doc Ock started while hijacking Peter's body in Superior Spider Man, into a massively successful company around the globe. While he has some help with the fact that his step-uncle is John Jameson Sr. (that's J. Jonah Jameson's dad), it does give him a lot more freedom and the chance to enhance his webs. However, an interesting thing about this is that, while he does have a successful business, he's completely out of his league and has become a massive target for other foes, such as the Zodiac and the Ghost. It ultimately gets so bad that Peter ultimately decides to destroy everything to keep it out of Doctor Octopus' tentacles in Secret Empire, financially destroying him. Sub-Mariner: Namor technically owns all the treasure on the sea floor (are you going to tell him otherwise?). If he ever needs cash, he's never found wanting. The Ultimates: Ultimate Iron Man is as rich and wealthy as mainstream Iron Man. He also has an evil brother, Gregory Stark, and they grew up with a huge Sibling Rivalry. Whatever Tony did, Gregory always did something better. Including, of course, raising an even higher fortune of his own. Their rivalry grew into Cain and Abel levels in Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates, and he died at the end of the conflict. And his huge fortune? It was inherited by his closest living relative... Tony Stark! X-Men: Charles Xavier's inherited fortune made him able to turn the basement of a mansion into an Elaborate Underground Base with an absurdly advanced holodeck room, as well as building various vehicles, including helicopters and a really advanced jet. Plus the Cerebro. Those can't come cheap. note Although, with Magneto's help, all labor costs would pretty much become zero, meaning he's only really paying for parts. At least during the times when Magneto was his ally and not his arch-enemy. Eventually, his even richer girlfriend, Shi'Ar Empress Lilandra (who owned an entire galaxy) provided upgrades to much of Xavier's facilities. Note that the jet in question was a custom-modified SR-71 Blackbird, bought straight from Lockheed. Lockheed in real life never sold Blackbirds to anyone except the US government, since the technology was largely top secret. This illustrates that Xavier is both ludicrously rich and even more ludicrously well-connected. Or he just used his psychic powers to convince whoever was responsible to get him what he needed. Also, everything on this list — Cerebro, the mansion, the Blackbird, and other smaller planes and helicopters — gets destroyed whenever the plot requires them not to have it or wants to show "this villain is serious." And everything on this list will be replaced, often with a better version that more closely matches whatever it looks like in the most recent film, by the next time it's needed. This in addition to the sprawling facilities and Star Trek-level gadgetry. That places Professor X in Tony Stark's tier, but unlike the other characters with unlimited resources, we never hear about his business ventures, or trouble with any companies of his during the times Xavier is in space or believed by all to be dead. Was his dad so rich that the X-Men can keep this up indefinitely without it being replenished, or is there an unseen Xavier Industries comparable to what Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark has? Emma Frost (who herself is a case: she's grown wealthy, and inherited the family business even if she ran away from home for her own safety) is known to have used her telepathy to get insider information for playing the stock market. Given that in his younger years, Xavier was decidedly less ethical about invading (and even altering) people's minds, one wonders if he did the same thing in order to enhance his wealth. Simply being heavily invested in other people's companies could give Xavier vast wealth without having to run a company of his own, if he picked the right companies. Angel's no slouch either. While his fortune is not flaunted to the degree that Tony Stark's is, he's able to say "Oh, don't worry, I'll just write a check" to expenditures that would boggle the mind. He's also financed several of the teams he's been a part of (such as the Champions, the New Defenders, X-Factor and X-Force) out of his own pocket. Now in the Krakoan Age, Mutants have a monopoly on certain pharmaceuticals that can only be produced on Krakoa. It's also demonstrated that Xavier used his family fortune and Moira's foreknowledge to invest in a wildly diverse and incredibly lucrative portfolio from entertainment to waste management, finally explaining where the money comes from. Oneshot Cable foe Jackie Singapore is noted to be richer than both Stark and Bill Gates, and 17% of Singapore's population thinks the country is named after him. It's also implied that entire countries make decisions based on his word, and that he can, among other things, get the two Koreas to actually agree on something. Arcade is so rich that, in Avengers Arena, he personally bankrolls the construction of a Death Course the size of a small country, locates it on a private island off the coast of Antarctica, and packs it with so much ridiculously advanced technology that he is essentially a Reality Warper within its borders. In an early appearance, Arcade is able to steal Shi'ar technology from the Xavier Mansion, but having a sample of alien super-tech is one thing. Having the resources to reverse-engineer and duplicate it requires serious cash. Especially on the scale that Arcade does it. And prior to Avengers Arena, Arcade has been doing the same thing for decades on a smaller scale with dozens of iterations of "Murderworld". Whenever superheroes shut him down in one city, he buys his way out of jail time (whether through hiring top lawyers or just outright bribery is never specified) and sets up a new Murderworld somewhere else. Every Murderworld is a combination Elaborate Underground Base and Amusement Park of Doom, and he somehow has the resources to build such sprawling facilities undetected beneath New York City, among other places. Roberto da Costa, a.k.a. Sunspot, is another example. His father was an extremely wealthy and influential Afro-Brazilian businessman, and when he died, Roberto inherited his company and all his wealth. While an Avenger, Roberto famously defeated A.I.M. not through violence, but by simply buying them out and firing all of their villainous higher-ups. He now funds the New Avengers out of his own pocket, and is not shy about flaunting his wealth to motivate his "employees"; when one of his scientists comes up with a successful plan to save the day, he rewards her by buying her a new Lexus.

Fiction 500 / int_69d15cc0	comment	In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tony Stark. It was estimated that his Power Armor suits alone already cost billions of dollars, but as of Avengers: Age of Ultron, he's personally footing the bill for the Avengers as a team, complete with a massive base of operations and several Cool Planes. By Captain America: Civil War he agrees to finance the research projects of an auditorium full of MIT grad students who all came out to attend his keynote speech where he demonstrates a several hundred million dollar pair of glasses that can project memories from his brain.

Fiction 500 / int_6a4bddd6	comment	Iron Man: Anthony (Tony) Edward Stark. Even without any funds, he's a gadgeteer genius who managed to build the Iron Man suit out of, basically, tin cans and string. That said, having loads of spare suits, many built in a lab in his own house most definitely counts. As does having a fully automated production facility in his garage that can build him another one in 5 hours. Case in point: Spider-Man thinks they should all get armor. Tony responds by asking if Spidey has seven billion dollars.◊ And in Mini-Marvels Tony does give everyone powered armor just to prove how awesome he is. He also keeps fully working versions of previous armors in a trophy room, has destroyed them to keep them out of enemy hands, and apparently rebuilt them for the unlikely occasions when they'd come in useful in the future. Tony's ridiculous fortune is lampshaded in the pages of Avengers Vol. 4: The Avengers can be quite the Destructive Saviours. When buildings get knocked over, streets get blown up, and cars get pitched at Killer Robots, who gets the bill? And never misses that money? That alone would make Tony one of the more impressive examples.

Fiction 500 / int_6a8aff51	comment	In The Stormlight Archive, the Alethi Highprinces accidentally became this as they waged the Vengeance War against the Parshendi of the Shattered Plains. Because of the unusual geography of the region, the Alethi armies focused on a prolonged seige against the Parshendi. But while besieging the enemy, they learned that the region is home to gigantic chasmfiends, massive crustacean-like predators that break the inverse-square rule via having massive Gem Hearts that store the titular Stormlight which reduces gravity's effects on them. Because gemstones are the basis for the world's economy (due to their applications in transmuting materials through magic) and larger gemstones are more powerful, the gigantic Gem Heart of each chasmfiend is worth a titanic amount, to the point that a single one can pay an entire princedom's operating costs for months. The Alethi armies begin to focus entirely on hunting the chasmfiends and fighting the Parshendi for control of the gemhearts, and as a result they end up becoming astoundingly wealthy over the years they wage the otherwise-costly siege.

Fiction 500 / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: One of Asmodeus' outfits costs about as much as a large country spends on food in a year. It just goes up from there. Additionally, he wields an extremely powerful Magic Staff made of pure ruby. It is said to be worth 1,000,000 gold pieces — considering its gem value only! Pretty much all high-level characters fall under this trope. In the 5th ed. adventure book Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage, the insane wizard Halaster Blackcloak is so wealthy from looting other planes and having his dungeon Undermountain built into a fallen dwarven kingdom that he seldom cares about adventurers going to his home and looting the place. He sometimes even encourages theft at his place. Dragons are known for their massive treasure hoards, a trait inspired by The Hobbit. They're also known for their ability to slaughter the many, many adventurers who try to kill them and take their stuff. Abbathor, the dwarven god of greed and wealth, is the Token Evil Teammate of the dwarven pantheon. He's so rich that he manifests as a dwarf made of precious metals and stones, and his temples often contain vast hoards of wealth.

Moreover, he can fund the necessary research and development for high-tech vehicles, equipment and facilities that his Badass Crew requires. And the guy still has cash to spare because he enjoys some of the trappings of his upper-class upbringing, such as his expensive suits, plus he owns several horses (naturally they're cared for in a well-stocked stable), has a large personal plane which is beautifully furnished, and a collection of vintage cars that are in perfect working order. In other words, money is no issue for him whatsoever.

Fiction 500 / int_7988cb68	comment	From the Mass Effect series, the Illusive Man. Cerberus' resources, while not unlimited, are still substantial enough to fund a two-year project to rebuild someone who is for all intents and purposes dead, and can replicate — with improvements, including an incredibly complex brand-new AI — the most advanced starship in the galaxy, with unique, groundbreaking stealth technology. Now, if even that doesn't sound like much, consider how valuable element zero is, then consider how much eezo was sunk into the drive cores of both the Normandy SR-1 and the Normandy SR-2. Note that late-game, we actually do find out where Cerberus gets its money from: Cerberus operates several dozen legitimate Fiction 500 corporations, and receives substantial funding from "private investors" — ultra-wealthy pro-humanity individuals, especially within the Alliance's military-industrial complex. They were also able to build the Normandy SR-2 because the very companies that Cerberus established to fund themselves were among those who built the original Normandy SR-1, so Cerberus had access to the blueprints and equipment to build the replacement. Similarly, they were able to create the ship's AI, EDI, using leftover Reaper technology and the rogue VI on Luna, both from the first game, so some of the initial cost was less than if they had to research and develop EDI without any of those advantages. By the third game, Cerberus has the resources to wage war against the entire galaxy, due to using Reaper tech to indoctrinate people into becoming mooks.

It helps that Potter senior was an early investor in Stark Industries (he met Howard Stark during WWII and was impressed by him) and, among other companies, Wayne Enterprises. Unlike most examples, however, neither Thor nor Harry does anything with them — Thor is Crown Prince of Asgard, so doesn't really need to and is perfectly happy to let the goblins manage his investment portfolio and Harry use the vault. Harry finds it personally embarrassing and doesn't mention it to people, unless, say, he wants to offer to replace the X-Men's heavily customised Blackbird (a casualty of the fight between Magneto and the Red Son in the second book) - which cost the equivalent of nearly $285 million per unit, even without customisation, and only 32 were ever made. This also implies similar things about Xavier's fortune, since Xavier casually waves it off.

The Ferengi have had thousands of years to hone and refine their capitalistic arts to perfection, so it stands to reason that at least a few very successful Ferengi can fit onto this list. In fact, Grand Nagus Zek goes so far as to publish a series of Revised Rules of Acquisition in order to change his entire species' hat from Honest John's Dealership to something more respectable. He realizes that many prospective customers are leery of doing business with Ferengi because of their cutthroat business practices, and by regaining their trust they can expand their customer base. All for increased profits. The Next Gen episode "The Most Toys" brings us collector Kivas Fajo. While his wealth is not specifically mentioned in the show, he has enough to synthesize large amounts of two exceptionally rare, dangerous, and difficult compounds to set in motion his plan to steal Data.

Fiction 500 / int_8258e260	comment	In Super Mario Bros.: Bowser Koopa is insanely wealthy, having owned at least twenty castles, an equally ginormous villa and even a city. However, he isn't satisfied unless he can rule the cosmos. In Wario Land, Wario has a huge castle with apparent walls of gold, treasure and more gold lying around, a huge throne, and in Shake It, ends up with a gold filled, gold walled garage with its own chandelier. He got a planet in the first game for getting all the treasure. Heck, the Mario Spinoffs alone show him with a personal gold mine, multiple stadiums, a colosseum, multiple whole cities and a lot of other stuff. Oh, and the WarioWare games apparently sell thousands, if not millions in copies in the game stories. And he still wants more. However, Wario's fortune varies between games, since in other games, he is shown living in a normal house instead of a castle. In the first WarioWare, he converts his house on the top of a mountain pillar into a videogame company and then he moves into another normal house in later games, the intro of WarioWare Gold confirms that Wario became broke, and plots a scheme to become rich, and in WarioWare: Get It Together! he doesn't even have the original flashy company headquarters on the mountain pillar after it was destroyed, and the new WarioWare Inc. building looks like a cheap garage. Though they live in a humble house and don't seem to work a steady day job (besides that whole Princess-rescuing gig), the Mario Brothers own: at least one private plane and a submarine (Mario uses them to rescue Daisy in Super Mario Land), a castle (that Mario seized from Wario in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins), a mansion full of precious gems (Luigi's Mansion), several carts and racetracks (for racing in the various Mario Kart games), places to throw fabulous parties (Mario Party), top-of-the-line tennis gear (Mario Tennis), and near-infinite extra lives thanks to their income stream. In addition, they amass large amounts of gold coins in their travels, a signficant portion of which is invested in their massive extra life reserve. Princess Peach and Princess Daisy are fabulously wealthy too. Being princesses, this is a given for them. They have extravagant castles of their own, along with several carts and racetracks just like Mario and Luigi. They also have topnotch sports gear and they each have a closet full of beautiful dresses and fabulous clothes. In Super Mario Sunshine Princess Peach actually has an airplane that takes her Mario, Toadworth and The Toads to the Isle Delfino for vacation. Princess Daisy herself has the priviledge of ruling four separate regions in Sarasaland, Birabuto, Muda, Easton, and Chai respectively. She evens owns a luxury cruiser. Despite their incredible wealth, Peach and Daisy are very sweet princesses.

Apart from the cost of moving the castle (which involved disassembling it, shipping it from Scotland to New York, and having helicopters lift it to the top of the skyscraper one stone at a time), it's strongly implied that the entire building was created just to provide a platform for the castle to rest on. Granted, such a thing could be done, in principle, in real life, but still... Though per Word of God none of them is quite as rich as Xanatos, fellow Gargoyles cast members Renard, Demona, Macbeth and Thailog are definitely up there too.

Just a few examples: In one episode, Karen is upset that Stanley put her on a budget. When Grace asks how much, Karen writes the number down, and Grace responds that she should be able to live on this since Spain does. When Stan's possessions are divvied up in his will in season five, Karen is left $978 million. In another episode, Karen's personal wardrobe is shown to take up several rooms—at one point, she remarks that she "heard an echo in the Fur Vault." It's revealed in one Christmas episode that Karen, whose official job title is assistant in Grace's interior design studio, provides Grace with an annual holiday bonus. When Karen divorces Stanley, she stays in the penthouse suite of New York's Plaza Hotel, which is consistently ranked as one of the fanciest (and most expensive) hotels in the entire world.

Fiction 500 / int_893bf98d	comment	In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka owns the world's largest chocolate factory (so big it has an entire subterranean river system made from liquid chocolate) and develops things like teleportation just to boost his advertising revenues. At one time he had a huge human workforce that he spontaneously sacked in its entirety due to industrial espionage issues (severance pay, anyone?); he then imported an entire unknown nation of people IN SECRET just to staff his factory, and had enough cash stockpiled to allow him to do this while the factory was closed and he was receiving no income. Better yet, he pays the Oompa-Loompas wages not in money but in leftover cacao beans, so every penny spent on a Wonka bar goes straight to him! While Wonka tends to laugh a lot, he laughs really hard in the sequel when Charlie's family is concerned about money, telling them he "has plenty of that!" In the 2013 stage musical adaptation, Sir Robert Salt — Spoiled Brat Veruca's dad and a billionaire himself — questions Wonka as to the "point" of the elaborate Chocolate Room, as only its waterfall (which mixes the chocolate river's contents) seems to have a practical, money-making application. As it turns out, the rest of the room was created solely as a personal, private work of art; Wonka is a firm believer in the concept of Doing It for the Art and prefers to use his fortune in the service of creating new things (if only for himself) rather than conventional Conspicuous Consumption.

Fiction 500 / int_8bf307b3	comment	Disney Mouse and Duck Comics: Scrooge McDuck's wealth is one of his defining characteristics. He has so much money he can swim in it, which happens to be one of his favorite pastimes. He is the owner of a windowless concrete block, affectionately called The Money Bin, filled with so much cold, hard cash that the bottom layer probably collapsed into electron-degeneracy sometime in the early 1990s. Don Rosa makes a point that the money in the bin is what Scrooge earned before he became the world's richest duck.note Not an Overly Narrow Superlative—Scrooge's biggest rival in money-hoarding, Flintheart Glomgold, is also a duck, with humans not existing at all in the setting. He has dozens of times more, in bank accounts and in investments, but the money in the bin is there because every coin and bill is a mark of victory to its owner; he can actually tell how he earned each one by looking at them, and would never part with one unless the story behind it is not worth remembering. As implied by his name, Scrooge is a satirical take on the idea that one can achieve vast wealth through nothing but obsessive penny-pinching; he always insists that (unlike his rivals) he earned it all "square," i.e. through legitimate work (though he rarely explains any of the details), and usually labels anyone who spends money on anything as a "spendthrift." In one Don Rosa story it's shown that Scrooge has every federal and state organization, including the U.S. Armed Forces, at his beck and call because his taxes comprise about 90% of their income. When you put together all Carl Barks and Don Rosa stories, Scrooge could probably buy out every other person mentioned on this page. And yet he still figures he doesn't have enough wealth to buy even a tenth of a solid gold moon, when engaged in a trade with the wealthiest man from Venus for it. And then he trades it for a handful of dirt. In some Carl Barks stories, it's stated that Scrooge can't transfer the money from his bin to banks because they already have so much of his money, they have no place to guard more. In an early Carl Barks story Scrooge says that if he loses one billion dollars a minute, he'll go bankrupt in 600 years. That would be 315,576,000 billion dollars, or 315,576 quintillion dollars. Needless to say, this is astronomically more than there exists wealth in the entire world (Scrooge would lose that much in less than half a year). This is a variation of a line from Citizen Kane where it was losing a million dollars per year would lead to closing down in sixty years. In one story, Scrooge spends several millions of dollars merely because he has no safe place to keep them. (The Money Bin is already full, and it'd cost billions to build another one.) In the end, it's all for nothing because the money is spent on places that belong to him. He's so wealthy he can't remember all businesses he owns. Although this does contradict one episode of DuckTales (1987) where he says he has actually memorized every serial number on every piece of paper money he owns, a skill that makes him realize that the money that Ma Beagle paid him with was stolen from him. (This is Rule of Funny, of course, but still...) Another story has Scrooge getting screwed by storms on his resorts, because the insurance companies that secure the places are his as well. Scrooge was the top person in the Forbes Fiction 15 for 25 years running, until he lost a round-the-world race to Flintheart Glomgold, where the prize was Scrooge's money bin. This was enough to knock Scrooge out of the Fiction 15 and put Glomgold at #2 in 2012 behind Smaug, with just the Money Bin). Total worth: 5 multiplujillion, 9 impossibidillion, 7 fantasticatrillion dollars and 16 cents. So rich, they make up numbers for it. Someone quantified it down to 25 trillion dollars in real life. Forbes put it at 65.4 billion dollars as of their last list, in 2013 (with Scrooge back at #1). After extensive mathematics, MatPat calculated Scrooge's Money Bin alone to contain between $52.3 billion and $333.9 trillion. Not to be forgotten are his two billionaire rivals, Flintheart Glomgold (mostly in DuckTales (1987)) and John D. Rockerduck (mostly in the comics), both of whom are trying to surpass his fortune. In the case of Rockerduck, spending a lot instead of being a tightwad like Scrooge. In fact, especially in the European comics, Duckburg is usually portrayed as having a literal billionaire's club. Since there are usually only several hundred billionaires on the entire world, one wonders why they all decided to huddle together. Most European currencies are worth quite a lot less than the American dollar, and since translations usually use the local one instead of the latter, it is often entirely plausible for a literal billionaire's club to exist in a real-life major city such as New York from that perspective. To give a couple of examples, 1 billion Polish zÅ‚oty is about $270 million and 1 billion Swedish krona is about $110 million. Sometimes the numbers become ridiculously low, like in Hungary where you only need $3.6 million to get 1 billion forint, or Italy, where the popular Paperinik New Adventures comics originated and whose pre-euro currency lira made anyone able to muster up just north of half a million dollars a billionaire.

He's so enormously obese that he's trapped in his bed, but he doesn't need to move — the world moves for him. In Dale's debut episode, Captain Stottlemeyer mentions that he avoids publicity by buying up entire newspapers (not runs of newspapers, the companies themselves). Dale himself is shown casually calling a congressman (while Congress is in session, no less) and deciding his votes, and later telling a professional baseball coach to change the current pitcher; everyone immediately bows to his whims. Even when he's sent to prison, his cell is outfitted as a hotel room, and he has a network of informants and electronics that let him know everything that happens in the complex. In his own words: "I wouldn't bend over to pick up twelve hundred dollars... even if I could."

Party member Mitsuru Kirijo shows off their wealth quite well: a video recording notes that her room in the party's dorm is more luxurious and has a private bathroom, her family has a fashion consultant, they own a vacation home at a nearby beach area, and that certainly doesn't cover all of the technology they've made in regards to hunting Shadows, including Anti-Shadow weapons Aigis and Persona 4: Arena's Labrys. Her wealth also crosses with Arbitrarily Large Bank Account, as it's implied that she covers a lot of expenses for SEES, and it's implied that the only reason Akihiko, an orphan, could go around the world on a journey and possibly re-enroll into college after Persona 4: Arena (in Real Life, college applications in Japan revolve around exams and there's very little flexibility for those who choose it or opt to go straight to work instead) is because he has Mitsuru and Aigis backing him up both financially and reputation-wise. The original Persona had the Nanjo Group, which is this trope to a lesser degree. The only hint of their wealth, aside from party member Kei Nanjo and his butler Yamaoka, is a scene in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment where they are revealed to have enough money to completely erase any hints of involvement with the supernatural with a simple phonecall. From the butler. As a matter of fact, the Kirijo Group is mentioned to have originally split off from the Nanjo Group, and the two companies still work closely together. And before both of them is SEBEC; an in-universe Fortuna 500 company that drabbles in subjects such as genetic research and supernatural experimentation, and still has enough money to spare to hire cybernatically-enhanced secret police and the Yakuza. They have also drabled in reality-bending machines and the creation of Artificial Persona users; something mentioned in Persona 3. Persona 5 has Okumura Foods, which owns the Big Bang Burger chain and party member Haru Okumura is the sole daughter of the owner. It's mentioned they have the funds and ability to casually privately rent "Destinyland" for a party that the Phantom Thieves commandeer as per Haru's request following their latest mission's completion.

Given that fifteen years after he invented his product professional users of it would apparently be as powerful as kings, politicians and CEOs, it's quite likely he'll be sitting pretty for the foreseeable future (in the anime, at least...not so much in the manga ).

Fiction 500 / int_9c4849a0	comment	Eddie, from Class of 3000, is the richest kid not just in school, but likely the world. His father is the CEO of Cola-Cola's "Earth Division," which makes him so ludicrously wealthy that he can afford to buy air time on every single television channel in existence, fund massive displays of love for his crush Tomika on a daily basis, and, in a bit of fourth-wall breaking humor, have five fingers on his hands as opposed to the usual cartoon four. Unlike most examples on this list, though, Eddie is a genuinely kind, generous kid—he never lords his money over his friends, instead happily funding their exploits and participating in all manner of activities with them. Sonny seems to be like this as well—his sprawling mansion in the woods contains entire separate ecosystems contained in individual rooms, and he once casually mentioned that he owned over a million designer outfits.

Fiction 500 / int_9d47a2a2	comment	The House of Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire are famous for being astonishingly rich thanks largely to controlling a large chunk of the realm's gold mines, tithing the lords of even more, and being ridiculously good at finance. They are the main creditors of the Iron Throne, and their unofficial motto is "a Lannister always pays his debts." Possibly a partial subversion, according to this Slate article. It argues that House Tyrell may become richer than them when winter comes, and may already BE wealthier in the first place.

Fiction 500 / int_a03824e8	comment	The DCU: Aquaman: Arthur Curry, although it's not a major part of his character. When he's King of Atlantis, he has his own treasury, and when he's deposed for the nth time, he makes ends meet with his personal secret hoard of pirate treasure. It's a common habit of his to pay in restaurants with solid gold doubloons. Batman: Bruce Wayne can bury the cost of the Justice League Watchtower in his aerospace budget. To put this in perspective, the smaller and far more primitive International Space Station cost over $150 billion by the time construction was completed.note Justified with the satellite, in part because Superman, Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern transport the materials to orbit and do the assembly, which is the lion's share of the cost of a normal space station. He is also funding his secret life of fighting crime using assorted wonderful toys. An entire issue of Robin was devoted to delivering a cost-accounting of Batman's arsenal. In Batman Begins, Bruce and Alfred decide that the best way to disguise their purchase of ears for Batman costumes is to buy 10,000 of them. In Teen Titans, Robin (Tim Drake) smuggles a Batmobile from Gotham by hiding it in the Batarang budget. Impulse promptly crashes it, thus notifying Batman. Green Arrow: As of The New 52, Oliver Queen is one too. While he already had Queen Industries, he was nowhere near the level of Wayne Enterprises or LexCorp. Now, Q-Core, his current financial endeavor, is Wayne Ent.'s main competition in the technology sector and basically the DCU's equivalent of Apple. Doom Patrol: Steve Dayton, AKA Mento. Routinely described as the fifth richest man on Earth in The DCU. The Green Team Boy Millionaires: The only prerequisite for joining the Green Team is one million dollars. The boys paid fortunes to anyone who could offer them a worthy adventure. In their first and only (at the time) published story, they funded the "Great American Pleasure Machine", a sort of roller coaster ride that brings so much pleasure, it drives the villain of the piece insane. As a text page in 1st Issue Special #2 (May 1975) explained, their jumpsuit uniforms had many pockets for money, with special locks, and they carried ticker-tape wristwatches, a chain of keys that would unlock any of their many labs and money vaults in far-flung lands, and a quarter-million dollars each that any of them could whip out at any time in the name of adventure. Prez: Reclusive trillionaire Fred Wayne. This is how rich he is: His corporate headquarters is Delaware. That's not a typo — he bought the entire state outright, and the only people who live there now are him and his employees and their families. Superman: Lex Luthor, since The '80s. At the time, writers finally decided to literally Cut Lex Luthor a Check and made him incredibly rich through making money off his genius. He can also budget in plans to defeat Superman. Lois Lane calculates Luthor's income and determines that he won't stop to pick up a $100 bill from the ground, because it's not worth one second of his time. In All-Star Superman, Leo Quintum is called a zillionaire by Jimmy Olsen, and when he hacked into his company's bank account, he found an infinity symbol. Super Young Team: The Most Excellent Superbat (no name given) states that his power is being rich enough to do anything. This is backed up in story by having his own private island made for him (complete with secret base), inventing an automatic mental Twitter, and in his Moment of Awesome, buying Japan — yes, the entire country — to rebuild it. Do anything indeed. Teen Titans: The team tends to get a few of these too. Some are technical qualifiers such as Starfire being an Alien Princess who doesn't typically tap her stuff from her home due to being captured or exiled several times depending on when. However, in the 2000s, when they were just The Titans, they ended up bankrolling themselves this time, so that brought 2 big investors to the team. First was Jesse Quick, who ran her own company and managed to fight crime in her spare time. And second was the former Aqualad who became Tempest. He goes the route of finding sunken treasure to bankroll stuff. So much so they're able to create an enormous hologram of Titans Tower as well as an underground base without breaking a sweat.

Andrew Hartford has a mansion with 27 bathrooms complete with a secret cave underneath with special genetic scramblers (which gives superpowers on the molecular level), ranger technology and zords (which gives power suits and a Humongous Mecha), all which he basically designed for his own private use rather than needing to have it go public in any way. He owns a film studio, had Will break into his own bank, has pioneered holographic recording technology and even built his own absurdly lifelike robot just for his own use, and even has time to spend "twice the net worth of New Mexico" to go treasure hunting in his spare time. It's pretty crazy. There's also the Shiba family, who must have some pretty solid investments. Antonio seemed to work to pay his way, but in the two years they were active, Shiba family money was supporting five Rangers and their mentor at home and Lauren and her mentor in hiding and we know at least the previous generation did the same thing, plus the house was rebuilt in between. The Shibas and the other families have been doing this for about four hundred years. It's also implied that they own their own monastry, the Tengen Gate.

Fry gains such wealth (for only one episode before losing everything) due to the tiny amount of money he had left in his savings account when he was frozen accumulating 1000 years worth of interest. Buying out entire auctions on a whim didn't seem to make a dent, nor did shooting skeet with the Mona Lisa. That's in addition to the time he and Bender got $1 every time one of their Popplers was sold: 198 billion were sold around the world. Mom, of Mom's Friendly Robot Company, stole the entire wealth of Fry, above, and owned the security camera system that helped her do it. Possibly has a monopoly on robot production. She is more or less Futurama's counterpart to Mr. Burns. Also, the monopoly is hinted further when she ensures people don't find out they can overclock their robots, lest they stop buying newer models. The video game further reveals that she owns exactly 50% of Planet Earth and is constantly scheming to acquire one last bit of property, which would give her a majority ownership and thus control over it. The Wong family owns the entire western hemisphere of Mars—which they originally purchased from the natives using a car-sized diamond (which to them was a single bead). When Amy Wong was introduced, she protested that her parents aren't as rich as people say, then reluctantly admitted that her college sorority was "Kappa Kappa Wong." In fact, according to Amy's dad, Leo, in Where the Buggalo Roam, the Wongs are apparently so wealthy that they actually find it easier to brand the stuff they don't own rather than the stuff they do own.

His sister Valentine, who accompanied him on basically all of those journeys, is also a big shot.

Fiction 500 / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: The Lannisters are by far the richest family in the Seven Kingdoms, and Tywin Lannister is often called the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms — it's mentioned in one episode that King Robert owes them 3 million in gold, and they still have enough left to fork over 80,000 for a tournament with no problem. "As rich as a Lannister" seems to be a well-known phrase, enough so that Tyrion Lannister is able to use it to bribe his way out of a dungeon. Another common saying is that Tywin Lannister is so rich that he "shits gold." According to Forbes magazine, he is worth 2.1 billion American dollars in the books. That makes him exceedingly wealthy even by the standards of a modern economy, Vanity Fair even estimates him to be worth 2.4 trillion American dollars. The second season briefly mentions that House Lannister trades with the Free Cities and as far as Qarth. However, we discover in Season 4 that the Lannisters' wealth may not be as secure as thought. In one episode Tywin reveals that they have not mined any gold in three years, and they are also heavily indebted due to the war as most of the Lannisters' wealth was spent financing Joffrey's time on the throne during the War of the Five Kings; it's the reason why Tywin ends up allying with House Tyrell. Even worse in season 7, when the Iron Bank confronts Cersei for not paying the debts, as her family's vault is empty and not to mention, losing alliance with the Tyrells, because she orchestrated the bomb that killed Lord Mace, Margaery and Loras Tyrell. Cersei calls the Tyrells the second richest in "Second Sons". The merchant prince Xaro Xhoan Daxos, according to Word of God (or at least word of his actor), is even wealthier than Tywin, and he could very well be the wealthiest person in the universe of the series. Xaro started with nothing, but is now wealthy enough that he could personally fund a successful invasion of the Seven Kingdoms and it wouldn't even be a huge investment, or so it appeared, anyway. A later episode reveals that Daxos' vault is actually empty. He's still wealthy, of course ... his house, furnishings, and jewelry are worth quite a bit, and he presumably has investments elsewhere in the city as well ... but he doesn't have the liquid reserves that he claims.

While he has some help with the fact that his step-uncle is John Jameson Sr. (that's J. Jonah Jameson's dad), it does give him a lot more freedom and the chance to enhance his webs. However, an interesting thing about this is that, while he does have a successful business, he's completely out of his league and has become a massive target for other foes, such as the Zodiac and the Ghost. It ultimately gets so bad that Peter ultimately decides to destroy everything to keep it out of Doctor Octopus' tentacles in Secret Empire, financially destroying him.

Turns out that Dust, the super valuable material that people use for everything, grows in huge spires in the Grimmlands. It can be found elsewhere, but it only grows in the Grimmlands. Salem makes disgusting amounts of money just from the Dust that is cleaned off her tower every once in a while.

Fiction 500 / int_b7e43f53	comment	Ted DiBiase, Professional Wrestling's original "Million Dollar Man". So rich, he would flaunt his wealth by cramming $100 bills down the throats of his fallen opponents until they choked on them — at which point, his manservant, Virgil, would take the money back. He lived by the motto, "Everybody's got a price!" and he proved it by, at various points, essentially buying AndrÃ© the Giant, Nikolai Volkoff, and Tatanka. The only man he couldn't buy? Hulk Hogan, who turned down his overtures to buy the WWF Championship for obscene amounts of money. Eventually, he just made his own championship belt, the Million Dollar Belt, a creation of solid gold and diamonds that cost over one million dollars, and which served purely as a monument to his incredible wealth.

He is so rich that light itself bends around his face, making him look like a colorful singularity or an optical illusion. At least that is what the Player Character sees. When you bring it up, Diodore admits that he has heard of the light-bending effect, and knows the theory behind it, but he cannot see the effect himself, nor can any one else besides you, who just think you're seeing things when you try to point it out. Another minor effect of his massive wealth is that the closer the Detective is to him, the more erratically the money counter in the UI acts, from gaining a few extra digits to constantly rolling around.

One example alone that qualifies for this list: he was one of the initial investors in Stark Enterprises, whose founder is listed below. When the size of the investment was calculated, a second line of zeroes was required. Assuming 1.25 inch margins on each side of the page and a 12-point font, this investment would come to at least 10 novemdecillion (10^61) dollars.

He has so much stuff that even he doesn't know what most of it is. His primary weapon, the Noble Phantasm called the Gate of Babylon, is a doorway to a pocket dimension that contains thousands upon thousands of priceless and powerful weapons, all of which belong to him. Consider this in comparison to other servants who might have two or three Noble Phantasms at most. At the same time, he has a particular character attribute called The Golden Rule, which measures a character's ability to attract wealth to himself. His is Rank A, which means that no matter what the situation and no matter when or where he might be, he is always guaranteed to have enough money to buy whatever he needs or wants and that more will simply fall into his lap.

The man is a billionaire with a huge castle in Wisconsin along with a huge home by the Rockies. Owns several of his own companies (i.e. Dalv), as well as many others he literally took over (like Mastersoft, formerly Microsoft). Owns state of the art ghost hunting technology and can easily pay to have everything rebuilt time and time again with no financial worry. Can pay for a professional ghost hunting team with superior technology once and easily set a million-dollar bounty on a single ghost. The only things he can't buy are Maddie's love, Danny's respect, and the Green Bay Packers. He does state (and it's taken as Word of Dante), that he used his ghost abilities to commit invisible burglaries and later control people and get them to give him their money. Danny's best friend, Sam, whose family is extremely wealthy because one of her great-grandfathers invented the machine that twirls cellophane around deli toothpicks; when Tucker finds out about this and asks Sam whether her family can buy things such as private jet and private yacht, she says yes.

Fiction 500 / int_bcb32dc6	comment	From Shadowrun: After years of audits and asset assessments after his death, the nearest estimate is that the dragon Dunkelzahn was worth well over 100 trillion nuyen, not including his collections of cultural artifacts, magical items, and so forth whose true value cannot be easily quantified. Just read his will. As an example, he left behind 20 million for the redevelopment of Jiffy Pop. And in the single largest endowment, he left Art Dankwalther $34,586,224,739.58 as repayment, accounting for inflation and interest, for a meal Art's ancestor once bought for him. Art Dankwalther, who turned out to be an obsessive lunatic and financial genius, then went on to use that money in a stock scheme that destroyed one of the world's ten largest megacorporations and forced another one to have an IPO and go publicly financed in order to survive his takeover attempt, the fallout of which helped shape the economic history of the planet for the next fifteen years, so Dunkelzahn appeared to have a much more significant plan in play here than simply paying off an old debt in a massively frivolous way. To put the idea of mega-corps into perspective in the Shadowrun universe, imagine a company that's able to employ military and security that would rival most nations'. Imagine also that their headquarters spans tens of city blocks, and the ground it's built on is claimed as sovereign land with its own laws from the parent country. Now consider that there are at least ten megacorps that meet this requirement. All things considered, the megacorps are probably the only thing on this page that could give Scrooge McDuck a run for his money, no pun intended. This being a setting where your corporation IS a country, if they're not an entire continent, government, military and all, and a few trillion dollars is chump change.

Fiction 500 / int_c62995ba	comment	In Child of the Storm: Tony Stark bankrolls the Avengers, having paid for the ridiculously advanced Avengers Tower, then the just as ridiculously advanced Avengers Mansion (after the Tower gets destroyed in chapter 74 of Book 1), which includes overhauling his father's security measures and an entire cobbled together subway escape line. Harry finds out that he's ridiculously rich — he never really looked into the extent of the Potter vaults before, but Thor (formerly James Potter), did when he reclaimed them, with them being estimated at Â£1.5 billion. It helps that Potter senior was an early investor in Stark Industries (he met Howard Stark during WWII and was impressed by him) and, among other companies, Wayne Enterprises. Unlike most examples, however, neither Thor nor Harry does anything with them — Thor is Crown Prince of Asgard, so doesn't really need to and is perfectly happy to let the goblins manage his investment portfolio and Harry use the vault. Harry finds it personally embarrassing and doesn't mention it to people, unless, say, he wants to offer to replace the X-Men's heavily customised Blackbird (a casualty of the fight between Magneto and the Red Son in the second book) - which cost the equivalent of nearly $285 million per unit, even without customisation, and only 32 were ever made. This also implies similar things about Xavier's fortune, since Xavier casually waves it off. Asgard is stupidly wealthy, to the point where money means very little to them. Given that even before their ascension to godhood a million years earlier, they were a galactic scale empire of Sufficiently Advanced Aliens compared by Word of God to Time War era Gallifrey, and there's very little now that they actually need, the wealth has been piling up. The Wayne family are exceptionally rich, sufficient to casually support Harry Dresden after he saved their lives (Joe Chill tried to and rob them when Dresden was a) passing, b) in a bad mood. This did not go well for him). While this support is relatively limited even considering that Dresden is effectively Bruce's mentor and personal minder, due to Dresden's personal pride, it keeps him in the black and covers the maintenance costs for his Walking Techbane effect. Bruce's allowance alone supports his personal studies into magic, anti Techbane shielding on technology, acquisition of a flashbang grenade, and at one point, use of a Tumbler, which he partially wrecks. In general, it's implied that they're in the same league as the Starks, if not on the same level. Peter Wisdom a.k.a. Regulus Black, Director of MI13, becomes this in the second book - albeit by proxy. This is because he's the one controlling a newly created mountain, formerly a volcano, whose insides were transmuted into a vast mine of Vibranium and Mithril, by far the largest store of the former outside of Wakanda. No wonder he spends a good few chapters in an uncharacteristically good mood.

However, in the 2000s, when they were just The Titans, they ended up bankrolling themselves this time, so that brought 2 big investors to the team. First was Jesse Quick, who ran her own company and managed to fight crime in her spare time. And second was the former Aqualad who became Tempest.

He managed to become owner and CEO of an entertainment company (that until he took over also manufactured high-tech weapons) and his brother's legal guardian without graduating high school. He also built a card game-themed amusement park, and pioneered advanced holographic technology (and repeatedly improved up on it) just to improve a card game. Later, he founds an entire school to teach more about the game. At one point in season 4, he needs a car, so he and Mokuba find one and get in (never mind how they got the keys). As the car comes on, a salesman rushes over, frantic and demanding to know what they're doing. Even as the man rants, Kaiba whips out a checkbook extremely dramatically, scrawls something, and tells the man to keep the change as they drive away. The distraught salesman frets that he's ruined, RUINED... until he looks down at the $500,000 check. While not quite so large a number as this trope normally deals with, the sheer attitude with which this example was done makes it rather noteworthy. By the time of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions, Kaiba is pretty much undeniably this; he owns all of the rather large metropolitan area of Domino City and at least one sophisticated space station that exists mostly for personal purposes, suggesting his total wealth to be in the trillions at minimum. This isn't even getting into the tech he's been putting out, including a full-dive massively-online Virtual Reality system invented in 1999. Pegasus is hardly a pauper either, and, given that Kaiba's big break came from making a deal with Pegasus, may actually be richer than Kaiba. Given that fifteen years after he invented his product professional users of it would apparently be as powerful as kings, politicians and CEOs, it's quite likely he'll be sitting pretty for the foreseeable future (in the anime, at least...not so much in the manga ).

Player controlled corporations and alliances are empires in their own right, with some alliances control numerous solar systems, moons and entire fleets of capital ships as reserves, making them literal in-universe examples. Furthermore, because of the ability to calculate a dollar-to-ISK value, battles and scams in EVE can be measured in the dollars destroyed or stolen, sometimes hitting the million dollar range.

Fiction 500 / int_d4fa168d	comment	The entire Fable franchise falls into this, as it's possible for the player to get involved in real estate(of both the buy->sell and the buy->rent out varieties), selling merchandise of all kinds(from clothing to jewelry to pies) not to mention make obscene amounts of money from doing odd jobs. It's possible to end up owning the majority of homes, businesses and street vendor stations in the entire nation. To give an idea of what is possible, in the third game in the series Fable III you can make 127,000 gold every 5 minutes not counting odd job work. For perspective, in order to fill the kingdom's treasury with gold, you only need 6 million total. With minimal effort and a bit of patience the player can be worth more privately than an entire nation.

After the end of the series a special oneshot chapter, contained within the second databook, even goes an extra step to show Kiriya Ubuyashiki casually gave enough money to Tanjiro and Nezuko, as a token of eternal gratitude, for them not to ever work a single day in their lives again.

Magister Negi Magi: Ayaka Yukihiro's family owns a MegaCorp and several private islands, and she herself lives in a Big Fancy House that would give the Palace of Versailles a run for its money, and was able to personally finance a massive campus wide war game. Keep in mind that said campus is an Elaborate University High that goes from grade school through university level and has over 30,000 students. She also owns her own private jet and brought roughly half her class to Wales in it when she heard that Negi was going there. Konoka's family comes close, if only because their Shinto temple-esque Big Fancy House would put Ayaka's own to shame in size and complexity. The MegaCorp-owning Yukihiro family still surpasses them in sheer wealth, though. Princess Arika, Negi's mother could probably put Ayaka's money to shame without even trying.

To give a couple of examples, 1 billion Polish zÅ‚oty is about $270 million and 1 billion Swedish krona is about $110 million. Sometimes the numbers become ridiculously low, like in Hungary where you only need $3.6 million to get 1 billion forint, or Italy, where the popular Paperinik New Adventures comics originated and whose pre-euro currency lira made anyone able to muster up just north of half a million dollars a billionaire.

Basically, it turns out that Reed Richards is NOT useless, and money from selling inventions that don't endanger the planet (sorry, no pocket Negative Zone portals) as well as the Four's celebrity status (they get cash from every film, action figure, etc.) - not even counting the stuff he gets paid not to release since it would single-handedly render the entire industry irrelevant resulting in millions of people losing their jobs - has made him rich enough that a trivial little problem like "doing this would require ten times the amount of money that exists in the world" will never hold the Four back.

They have their own private army, private satellites and Koko Hekmatyar has the funds necessary to pursue bleeding edge technology in the fulfilment of her secret plan "Jormungand" which involves putting over 126 satellites in the sky to prevent aircraft from ever taking off the ground. A massive undertaking to the point where every global player is scared shitless of it, the sanity of doing something like this is questioned in-universe.

Fiction 500 / int_f8eaad5b	comment	Citizen Kane: Charles Foster Kane is a media tycoon who has more than enough money to spend on constructing Xanadu (which is described in-universe as "the world's largest private pleasure ground") and filling it with exotic animals and priceless art from around the world. One early scene has his adoptive father Mr. Thatcher argue with him over how much money he's losing on running a newspaper and Kane's response? The above quote is said when he is still just starting out, and he's currently #5 on the Forbes Fictional 15. $1 million at the time is approximately $27 million today; thus, "starting out" and thanks to his family's gold holdings (and his mother's management), Mr. Kane is worth at least $1.6 billion.

Fiction 500 / int_fbf33963	comment	In Inception, Saito buys an airline (the timeline of the film is implied to be over the course of a few weeks) because he thinks it's the simplest way to keep the crew out of their hair. It is implied that the Fischers' empire is far greater than his. The Inception team is visibly stunned by this display of wealth, but do not comment on it.

Fiction 500 / int_fe94578f	comment	Alex Rider: Unsurprising for a James Bond-inspired series, many of the Big Bads have a ludicrous amount of wealth behind them to carry out their evil plans. However, this is subverted with Nikolei Drevin, the main villain of Ark Angel. He's a multi-billionaire who states anything can be his, and he's funding the titular Ark Angel, the first hotel in space. However, we later learn that Ark Angel is a failure that's bankrupting even him, so he's planning on knocking it out of space onto the Pentagon where evidence of his illegal activities are held and collect the insurance.
