Fictional and Rich

Forbes Magazine recently released their annual list of the top fifteen richest fictional characters. This article is a hilarious and interesting read. It made me wonder if Scrooge McDuck was third because he liked to stock his vault with coins to swim in, rather than investing his cash in the stock market.

You can read the article HERE. There is also a small article about the fictional characters that did not make this year’s top 15.
