A deity whose power is wealth or money-related. Named "Almighty" by Jesus when he warned money had an allure or power which could distract people from serving God. Wealth gods are Older Than Dirt if you count food as currency. For Stone Age cultures, a Food God was also the wealth god who brought forth plentiful grain and flocks of livestock. Hungry people value food over other currencies, 'cause you can't eat money. Analysis of fossilized skeletons shows that malnutrition was common during ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and amongst pre-Roman European tribes. Modern ideas about wealth and money solidify during the Older Than Feudalism period. Real life wealth gods often fit the mold of "healthy, wealthy, and wise", where a model of virtue drew abundance or reliable "daily bread". Sometimes a family's wealth has a protective spirit, or a livelihood such as merchants and shopkeepers have a Patron Saint. Historical evil gods/spirits related to money had domains like poverty, famine, bad luck, ill luck, or Greed. Such evil gods or demons of greed, poverty, or misfortune are an Inverted Trope. Mixed morality around money is also reflected in that some tricksters are also wealth gods, such as the Greek god Hermes. The infamous Loki's help for the Norse pantheon was primarily financial. Sometimes a Love Goddess is also the wealth deity, since she makes people happy and the jewels look so good on her. Since The Power of the Sun is symbolized by the metal gold, a solar deity is sometimes a wealth deity, like sun god Ra's daughter Hathor. Strangely, wealth deities are more common in real life than fiction. Even fantasy worlds where Gods Need Prayer Badly might lack a wealth deity despite all the potential worshippers looking for divine help with their finances. Probably fantasy wealth gods suffer from the Boring, but Practical trope since they're more likely to be encountered at an everyday store than a battle. But wealth deities can be a balance-shifting Wild Card since their power of money is True Neutral. Good, evil, chaos, and law all use the same currency. Fantasy humans or aliens like DS9's Ferengi might worship money directly, a case of Blue-and-Orange Morality. But in real life, humans "worship" money by ignoring all gods/values to pursue money. Money itself as a god is an Internal Subtrope of the wealth god trope. Characters who experience money itself as a god are seen in tropes like: The Scrooge, Gold Fever, Loves Only Gold, Miser Advisor, Money Fetish, Every Man Has His Price, Screw the Rules, I Have Money!, Money Is Not Power, or Death by Materialism. This is a Sub-Trope to Stock Gods. Not to be confused with novels or other works of fiction named, "God of Money". Supertrope to Mammon. |

Genshin Impact features Rex Lapis, also known as Morax and, more recently, Zhongli, the god of Mora (the local currency), contracts, and the Geo element. Deconstructed to an extent. As Zhongli, he dresses, behaves, and spends like the upper crust, but is perpetually penniless and constantly requesting funds from the Traveler and Childe. When he's revealed to be Rex Lapis in retirement, he explains that he's not used to not being able to conjure Mora at will. | |

The Belgariad: The Tolnedran religion is centered around money and its acquisition. This led to the disastrous invasion of Maragor, wherein the Tolnedrans invaded Maragor in the mistaken belief that they had a hidden treasure, and when they couldn't find any treasure, they threw a tantrum and massacred the Marags wholesale, almost completely wiping them out. | |

Baldur's Gate has a goddess of money, trade, and wealth named Waukeen, also known as the "Merchant's Friend". Although Waukeen isn't an active character, her name appears on temples and districts such as "Waukeen's Promenade" in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. Waukeen was a popular goddess in Amn before she disappeared during the "Time of Troubles", an important event in the game backstory. Waukeen's loss helped create a power vacuum among merchants, and some of the game's characters still worship her. | |

Warframe: One of the main enemy factions, the Corpus, is something between a MegaCorp and theocratic society that worships the very concept of Profit, treating avarice and self-interest as cardinal virtues and compassion and generosity as deadly sins. They'll do anything and everything in their power to make a quick buck, selling weapons and enslaving entire planets to get their fix. Especially notable in this regard is Nef Anyo, an influential Corpus aristocrat who dresses and speaks like a televangelist and promises wealth by giving money to his "Temple of Profit", on top of a few of his own very successful businesses. | |

Hades: Hades himself, as befitting Classical Mythology. His domain over precious gems and metals is why there's so many gems to earn across your escapes, not to mention the Underworld has a functional and active economy thanks to it. Many of the enemies that try to prevent Zagreus' exit have been bribed by him to do so. Poseidon, to a lesser degree, thanks to the fact that being the lord of the oceans themselves means everything within them, including the riches to be made off it and all the treasure that's sunk beneath the waves, belongs to him. As such, one of his boons is just directly dredging some up and giving it to you in the form of obols, gemstones and healing items, and another makes all rewards of the former three worth even more. |

Pathfinder: Abadar is a Lawful Neutral god of cities, commerce, law, and money, believing those things to hold the key to prosperity and happiness for any disciplined person. His clergy commonly act as bankers and are expected to invest in their communities. He's also one of the few non-good deities to empower paladins, who act as guardians of trade routes and commerce. In Starfinder, Abadar's church has developed into the largest MegaCorp in the Pact Worlds, AbadarCorp, with fingers in pies ranging from food production to planetary colonization. The Archdevil Mammon, the Open Palm, is the keeper of Hell's vaults — in fact, his spirit inhabits every coin, jewel, and precious item in the treasury, and he whispers temptation to anybody who possesses one. His mortal cults revere him as a patron god of greed and wealth. The followers of the Prophecies of Kalistrade worship the concept of wealth itself, amassing immense personal wealth in order to use it as a catalyst to create their own personalized afterlife. |

Forgotten Realms: Abbathor is the evil dwarfish deity of greed. Astilabor is the draconic goddess of acquisitiveness, treasure, and the desire to acquire and hold wealth, primarily as a means of increasing one's status. She instilled in dragonkind the innate need for collecting and protecting their hoards, and is worshipped primarily by the most rapacious of dragons. Her own hoard, hidden somewhere in the plane of Limbo, is said to contain more wealth than that in any other place in the multiverse. Garl Glittergold is the Top God of the gnomes and helps his people prosper, and has a knack for finding gold and gems. Waukeen is the patron goddess of wealth and trade known as the "Merchant's Friend". |

For decades, various Protestant churches have taught prosperity theology, which claims that a righteous life will be rewarded with financial success and material prosperity not just in heaven, but also in this world. This is... a contentious position among other Christian churches, to put it mildly, with those who don't follow it describing it as worshiping God for wealth and pointing to Jesus' statements against greed. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Wealth, commerce, labor, and communication all fall under the domain of the Aedra Zenithar, and thus he is considered the patron deity of merchants and middle nobility. Like all the Aedra, he's actually quite benevolent, and out of all the Aedra, he interacts with mortals the most, teaching them that the best path to prosperity and peace is earning an honest profit; which is why being one of his worshippers is implied to be incredibly rewarding. And, rather uniquely, he's also sometimes associated with agriculture and depicted as a warrior god as well. | |

Touhou Project: Inverted with the Yorigami twins, Shion and Jo'on. They're both gods of misfortune who suffer from Power Incontinence. Shion is a goddess of poverty who absorbs people's good luck and wealth, including her own, and turns it into bad luck and debt, while Jo'on is a goddess of pestilences with the ability to consume the financial assets of anyone she chooses, which affects her own assets too. Despite the fancy clothing and jewelry Jo'on wears, it symbolizes how she's quick to spend all her money as soon as she gets it. Played straight with Chimata Tenkyuu, introduced in Touhou Kouryuudou ~ Unconnected Marketeers. She is a goddess of the marketplace who deals with the concept of people exchanging ownership of things by selling and buying them in marketplaces. |

After the End: A Post-Apocalyptic America: Given a spin with the Consumerist faith, which originated from people finding references to "the Almighty Dollar"... and taking it literally, believing the Almighty Dollar struck down Old America because they did not honour it enough using the ritual of "shopping". The Monetarist heresy agrees on the Almighty Dollar striking down Old America, but believes that overzealous shopping weakens the Almighty Dollar, and instead one should seek to save its power by collecting holy artifacts like dollar bills and bonds. | |

Warhammer: Handrich is the god of merchants and wealth (and possibly an aspect of the god of thieves and gamblers; popular opinion leans this way, with the only real distinction being that Handrich will expect you to shake his hand and thank him for fleecing you, but Handrich's followers view Ranald as a despicable conman and robber). His priests are often leading traders, temples are managed by the local Traders' Guild and the holy days are the major trading days. His cult is strongest in Marienburg and Tilea, both areas where merchantry is a major part of the economy and mercenary trades are well-established. Uniquely, his magic uses money in lieu of the normal Eye of Newt, and he accepts IOUs. | |

American Gods (2017) has the anthropomorphic personification of money, an old man referred to as "The Bookkeeper" who is older than most of the Old Gods. He has a trio of creepy girl scouts selling candy bars speaking in unison as guards. | |

Zeus: Master of Olympus: When Hades agrees to become a city's patron god, he creates silver deposits for minting coins, doubles the money produced by tax collectors, and occasionally blesses the city directly with wealth. Justified in that he's god both of The Underworld and of all wealth beneath the earth. | |

In Nomine: Marc, Archangel of Trade, oversees the mortal world's commerce — mostly focusing on wealth exchange in the traditional sense but also extending to any situation where people exchange tangible or abstract things of value — and manages Heaven's fortune. Mammon, Demon Prince of Greed, seeks to own everything and everyone in existence, and makes his headquarters in the Bank of Hell. Marc has a cold, intellectual loathing for Mammon, seeing him as the embodiment of profit over principle; Mammon, on the other hand, sees Marc as a fellow profiteer. |

Mage: The Awakening: "The Chancellor" is an evil example, a Deity of Human Origin who seeks to control the world through greed and scarcity, encouraging humans to see each other as commodities rather than people. Its greatest success to date is said to be the global rise of capitalism. | |
