Wealthiest Fictional Character (1 Viewer)

[Don Quixote]

Jake Tapper had this as a Twitter poll earlier today, and it seemed like worthy FFA debate content.

I went for Scrooge McDuck.

 

[Scoresman]

Never saw batman or iron man diving into a pool of gold coins.  Easily Scrooge.

Some decent choices here....

Mr. Monopoly?

Carlisle Cullen

Tywin Lannister

 

[belljr]

The black panther guy is estimated at 9 trillion or something.

I'd also add Prince Akeem from Zamunda

 

[NewlyRetired]

Tywin Lannister

There is a difference between books and tv show with this character. 

In books there is no mention of financial trouble but in the show Tywin admits to Cerci that their gold mines have run dry three years ago and that they are in debt to a "tremendous amount" to the Iron Bank.

What about Thurston Howell III?

What about Thurston Howell III?

Guy doesn't even own his own yacht. Come on.

 

[Warhogs]

Scrooge McDuck for me and it wasn't even close. I think he crapped gold coins.

 

[eoMMan]

All of the gold that has ever been mined in human history would form a cube about 70 feet wide per side. It would easily fit inside the infield of a baseball diamond.

Scrooge has probably 80-90% of that in his money bin, no? 90% of the world's gold supply in his personal vault would make me think he has to be the richest.  

He was a fraud.  He would have hurt himself swimming in real gold coins.  They were either chocolate coins with gold wrapping or plastic coins.

 

[NotSmart]

I imagine everyone's instant first though, including mine, was Scrooge McDuck.

Hence, that's probably not the right answer.

It did not seem close to me either, but the Twitter poll that I saw on this question was pretty close -- Scrooge McDuck is currently tied with Tony Stark there at around 35% each.  Maybe it's just that those millenials are unfamiliar with Scrooge McDuck.

Millennial here, gotta be Scrooge McDuck.  I'm an "old" millennial though.

King Midas would crush them all.

???

 

[NotSmart]

What about that one really rich guy?

You know who I mean.

He's pretty rich.

 

[Quint]

Willy Wonka? I mean, he rescued (....errrrr enslaved) an entire race of people and has a duck that literally lays golden eggs. Plus, he’s one of, if not the biggest, players in the candy market, and looks to be branching out into MRE’s (gum) and the soft drink sector with levitating side effects. Not to mention, he got the jump on guys like Elon Musk by getting that elevator into orbit. 

 

[NotSmart]

He's pretty rich.

Cartoon Jeff Bezos... that's who I was thinking of, I think.

 

[Brony]

Went with Richie Rich.  McDuck had bathtubs of gold coins, but Richie had the whole bathroom made out of gold. 

 

[pecorino]

I’ll go with Tony Stark but I really want to vote for a Vonnegut character, Malachi Constant who makes all these others look like pikers.

 

[NotSmart]

Wasn't there a Dune Dude that owned / controlled all the spice in the universe?

 

[bigmarc27]

You guys are crazy, Scrooge McDuck couldn’t even afford pants. Give me Batman. 

 

[sports_fan]

What about the dragon from The Hobbit, Smaug? He had a huge mountain of gold and jewels

 

[sports_fan]

Donald Trump is probably up there too

 

[Major]

Thornton Mellon should be in the discussion

 

[Insein]

No one said Monty Burns yet? Am I the only one saying Boo-urns!?

 

[NotSmart]

You guys are crazy, Scrooge McDuck couldn’t even afford pants.

Being rich is never having to wear pants.

What's weird is like how would he spend it though right? I mean like does he just fly to a store and be like hey i need some weird gold melting things i can put inside my mountain cave what do you guys have? 

 

[Don Quixote]

Hugh Hefner - Robe.

Howard Hughes - Naked recluse. 

...Seems to check out.

He'd never spend any of his gold. I'm assuming he'd use a credit card or something if he had to buy anything. I think he mostly he just likes having it and also killing stuff

George Bailey

Oooh. Good answer! Good answer!

I mean, it's too out of the box to be one of the top four answers on the board, but I like it.

 

[Zow]

Scrooge McDuck for me and it wasn't even close. I think he crapped gold coins.

Yeah he swims in gold. 

 

[Zow]

Shtick answer: Abraham or Solomon. 

 

[Ted Stickles]

The Great Jay Gatsby was my first guess.

 

[cockroach]

Scrooge McDiggyDuck for me.  But he was owned by his money.  Only thing that made him happy was counting it.  True wealth is enriching others.

 

[Mario Kart]

McDuck didn’t need pants. He gave zero f###$.

You're telling me the guy that has his face on his own money didn't make the list?

BS

Prince Akeem RULES ALL

 

[dino259]

No mention of Montgomery Brewster?

Surprised the nephews never tried to off Scrooge mcduck.

 

[Skipdog77]

Donald Trump is probably up there too

I'd like to live in a world where he was a fictional character. 

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

God

 

[The Ref]

Yeah Scrooge McDuck is obviously top of the list.  I mean look at the company he keeps.  Mickey Mouse is getting $150 a head per day to come to his place and just bought Iron Man and Darth vader the past few years.
