Dreaming of being the next Warren Buffett is one thing; do you spend your nights fantasizing about having as much money as Scrooge McDuck? Forbes magazine, which tracks the world’s richest real people, also looks at the accumulated wealth of fictional characters.
Here’s a look at how much money you might have if only you lived in the imagination of a famous novelist, cartoonist, or screenwriter:
• Scrooge McDuck. The long-lasting Disney character’s net worth is calculated at $44.1 billion, thanks to his passion for mining and treasure hunting.
• Carlisle Cullen. The 370-year-old vampire from the Twilight saga is worth an estimated $36.2 billion.
• Artemis Fowl. A child criminal mastermind featured in a series of best-selling novels for young adults, Fowl’s ill-gotten gains amount to $13.5 billion.
• Richie Rich. The “poor little rich boy” of cartoons and comic books controls assets of $9.7 billion.
• Jed Clampett. The patriarch of The Beverly Hillbillies TV show, Mr. Clampett has $9.5 billion in Milburn Drysdale’s bank.
• Tony Stark. Those Iron Man suits aren’t cheap. The CEO of Stark Industries in the Marvel Universe is worth $9.4 billion.
