Woah. I really thought Smaug would be on top of this list. Do we know why Uncle Scrooge is so rich?

He got his start striking it rich as a gold miner, but made most of the rest of his fortune through various capitalist ventures without confining himself to a single sector or industry. No pie is too big or too small for Scrooge to get his thumb in; in the pilot mini-series for Duck Tales, he’s just bought a candy factory, for instance.

Woah. Does Uncle Scrooge have an origin movie/tv special? This is really cool.

Not an origin movie per se, but several episodes of the old 90s Duck Tales series explored his past, including his time as a claim prospector. It might take some looking to find them, but the first half of the series was released on DVD (only half because Buena Vista is terrible about releasing even their most popular shows for home media cosumption). I’m sure that there’s even more in the Uncle $crooge comics upon which the show was based.

Duck Tales was on tv when I was a tater-tot, so I watched it a lot. That and I’m a huge dork.

I quote Scrooge saying ‘work smarter not harder.’
Perhaps that’s why 🙂 clever duck.

I wonder if someone could calculate the wealth of the Malfoys. ANd would that be gold or is magic a commodity?

I can’t believe Uncle Scrooge has so much money! You would think he could afford some proper shoes.

He didn’t get rich by going out and buying proper shoes.

Wealthiest favorite character… now that’s a hard one to choose. I would say Cid from the Final Fantasy Series. When he is a shop keep, he is BANKING ALWAYS!
