just realized fictional characters are actually loaded lol. like scrooge mcduck net worth sitting around 65 billion?? that's insane. dude's literally swimming in gold. then you got smaug hoarding like 54 billion in gems and gold, and somehow carlisle cullen from twilight accumulated 46 billion just through compound interest over centuries (vampire tax strategy ig 😅). but here's what gets me - tony stark with his 12.4 billion from stark industries is almost pocket change compared to these fantasy characters. bruce wayne's 9.2 billion from wayne enterprises sounds impressive until you realize scrooge mcduck is 5x richer just from treasure hunting. forrest gump accidentally became a billionaire from apple stock which is actually kind of genius. the gap between fictional wealth is wild - from gatsby's mysterious 1 billion to smaug's dragon hoard. makes you think what the actual richest fictional character would be if we counted all the magic users and royalty. anyone else fascinated by this stuff or just me? 🤔
