This could be man, woman, hero, or villain. Who's got the most benjamins. One character that comes to the top of my head is Reed Richards.

Namor.

http://www.forbes.com/2002/09/13/400fictional.html

Namor makes Reed Richards look like Sammy the Squid-Boy.

If All comics are considered, others then Marvel and DC, however, Scrooge will curbstomp Namor in the mud and make him look like a bum. Then buy the seas, just because he can.

Scrooge has MUCH more money then that. Once, he lost two billion dollars in minute. He said that if it would keep continuing like that, he would be poor...

...in 300 YEARS.

Even still, I find it hard to argue against St. Nick.

Meh. I even have a comic where Scrooge is about to buy Santa's all ownings so he could make more money off Christmas.

Darkseid. The guy has got to be rolling in it.

If they're not doing well then how does he fund all his war projects?

Oh well. I'm certain Namor is loaded and we all know Scrooge is but what about basic humans...

DC

Batman
Green Arrow
Lex Luthor
Vandal Savage

Marvel

Tony Stark
Dr. Doom
Black Panther?
Black Bolt (probably)

Probably between Tony Stark and T'Challa.

In that case it's probably T'Challa because as I understand it Stark is still not doing great.

the richest guy in comics................GALACTUS HAVE YOU SEEN THAT ROLLS ROYCE SIMBOL ON HIS SOLAR SYSTEM SIZE SHIP?!?! jk im not sure i know luthor isnt as rich as batman, isnt ra's al ghoul richer then batman though, youd think that vandal savage is richer since he's been around the longest and in MU i suppose it is stark but im not sure im just speculating.

You caught me there Mider. I really did think Vandal Savage was richer because he's been around longer. That and the guy is extremely mysterious.

At one point in time just prior to the disassembled arc it was stated that Tony Starks fortune was over 350 Billion. Right now it's not as high as that. But I still put him as the odds on favorite.

In the Marvel universe I thought the richest men were Tony Stark and Warren Worthington III (Angel). In the DC universe I think that the richest men are Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor.

In Marvel, Black Panther. He's owns Stark.

The whole thing about 2Vandal being richer becaue he's been around longer" thing is sh!t... my little bro knows some bloody rich kids wo are FAR richer than the town drunk, but he's been around about 6 or 7 times longer than them!

I think that Marvel Top 3 list is this:

Namor
Black Panther
Stark

I've heard somewhere that Moon Knight is richer than Batman... is that true?

Probably not...

Out of marvel earth maybe........
What about Lilandra from the shi'ar?she should be packing

Originally posted by Skeets

Yeah, she's rich...

its hard to sum up the likes of Namor, cuz his nation doesnt print currency and they dont trade with the surface world so its hard to put an exact value on what he's worth. i half remeber in the old namor comics from back in the stan lee and jack kirby days that most of his wealth came from treasures from ships that have been sinking for hundreds of years, that he and his ppl have been pilfering off the ocean floor, and all the previous monarchs before him have been doing the same. but if i was forced i would still put him at #1.

#2 is easily T'challa, even tho other than a few vibranium deposits here and there his country doesnt really trade with outsiders too much either, so again an exact number is hard to place, but he is monarch of a country where there is no disease or poverty, and very little crime, so you gotta figure that in a country where everybody has jobs tax dollars must be rolling in real vicious.

#3 a distant third would have to be Doom cuz he's a smaller version of wakanda, and all he does is redirect latveria's resources to help him realize his goals. then he turns around and takes care of his ppl like they were pets. the whole country is practically automated. from the police force to servo bots that do all the mundane tasks like farming, cleaining the streets, even the executions. there are a few farmers and shop owners here and there, but thats about it.

#4 is reed, but as far as personal fortunes go(meaning not backed up by your own nation) he is #1 . yeah the govt. seized all his assets and it wittled down to a meager sum. so much so that they had to slum it out in an old apartment...but still, just to give you a perspective of how rich this guy is, after he lost everything he immediatley bounced back with patents from new inventions, but thats not the crux of it. bcuz he didnt have legal auhtority over Ben's share of FF enterprises, he couldnt relinquish it to the govt. something like 25%, and even then ben's share put him on par with bill gates(remember ben sent bill a picture of his ass crack, to say that there's a new billionaire in town)

#5 is obviously stark, both in 616 and in the ultimates it says that he's worth over 300 billion nuff said. so that puts him at #2 in the "personal fortune" department.

the rest of the top 20 would be rounded out by idiots like pym, normon osborn, justin hammer,kingpin and graviton, you could also throw in xavier in there too and yes Ben Grimm. and that long time avengers foe named Imus Champion. his tag line is that he is the worlds 5th richest man. Moon knight may have a small fortune but i dont think he's a billionare yet. all his money came from being a mercenary, and that coupled with a handful of investments just cuased interest to accrue.

I'll make the DC list short.

#1 The same thing can be said about Aquaman for namor, with the excpetion that he does trade with the surface world(that is, when he's not exiled from his kingdom......again!)

#2 definatley batman, not only was his family fortune vast b4 he took over, he has also bought myriads of companies that were once considered the largest _________ company in America b4 he merged them with Wayne Enterprsises

#3 used to be lex luthor, but after he was ousted as president his fortune came down to 50 million. and talia who was acting as his CEO liquidated all his assets and sold lexcorp to who?....you guessed it. bruce wayne. but who knows what kind of money he's tossing around now.

other idiots include Sivana, Green arrow, and black adam. and who knows, with all the non stop, successful hit jobs he has done im sure deathstroke is on that list too. seeing as how he is offically the highest paid Merc in DC. maybe he invests just like moonknight

Namor does trade with surface world, occasionally. Here is a little article of things he has used his wealth in:
NAMOR'S MONEY

Okay, it's time to show how rich Namor actually is. He's actually the most richest man on Earth, since he rules 75% of our planet.

Pretty much every scan here is from Byrne era, because it of course showed more of his business prowess. Most of these scans are measured by the wealth of surface world money, gold, jewelry, stuff like that. His estates, such as Atlantis, and, well 75% of Earth aren't counted here. That makes his fortune virtually limitless.

Namor buys a movie studio out of boredom. An explanation where he gets his money is here too.
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5800/namorrich14oe.gif

Another explanation where he gets his money, and how easily he finds it.
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5981/namormoney15vw.gif

At blink of an eye, Namor buys a company that costs ten BILLION dollars. That is 20% of Bill Gates's fortune. And it's tiny, tiny percent of Namor's resources.
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/783/namormoney29to.gif

Namor bought a "house" like this. It's wealth can be only measured in millions of dollars.
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/3921/namormoney39qv.gif

And, he also bought a skyscraper like this. Empire State Building cost $40,948,900 dollars to build. Take 30% off it, and you probably get the cost of that building. Nothing to richest being in the world.
http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/7488/namormoney46zp.gif

Namor owns a private plane with high-tech equipment...
http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/1006/namormoney66hg.gif

With one phone call, Namor buys an entire company. Hell, they are like apples to him.
http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/981/namormoney71ja.gif

And yet one company is bought...
http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/4570/namormoney84do.gif

During that era, he used his money a lot often then he has. However, he easily has paid for the damage he has caused to surface world, and that must be a lot too.

In 1998-2001 or so, before he got sued for being two rich and splitting up all his companies, Gates was worth nearly 120 billion dollars. These days, 10 billion is a decently large chunk.. then though . .? Nah.

Meh, still small money compared to Namor.

And nothing compared to Scrooge.

Ra's AL Ghul has money.

Magneto

Anyone with vast magical powers.

Hmmm , I did the math and from that Scrooge should have $ 315,569,259,600,0000.00 . Give or take a few hundred/thousand ( it all swings on what Scrooge considers 'poor')

And that is only if you count his cash. He owns an entire moon...

...that is made out of 24 carat gold.

Black Panther?

1 gram gold is worth what? - 10 USD?
The moon's weight is 81 billion tons = 81,000,000,000,000 grams = 810,000,000,000,000 USD

Then comes the question wouldent it be heavier if it was made of gold?

It would have more mass and therefore there would be more gravitational force between the gold moon and other bodies.

The existence of that much gold would devalue the price of gold significantly though.

Reality Warpers? Beyonder? TOAA? Wolverine? I had to.

Wolverine is only a millionare.

Moon Knight has bank but he sold off much of his fortune. In the last issue of hi series he still owned a small business that when it went public would make him rich again. Still not high on the level though.

For Marvel, in terms of personal wealth I gotta say Tony. He lost some of his billions prior to Dissassembled but during Civil War he's gotten some serious bank. He, Reed and Hank due to civil war are probably some of the richest in Marvel.

In DC its Bruce Wayne. Come on, he bought Lexcorp. Next up I think I'll say Green Arrow. He had lost his fortune, but swung couple of weapon manufactorers and built his fortune even greater than before

Aunt May
She's secertly got Trillions in secert pre WWII bonds and is just saving them for when they are really needed or when she dies and gives it all to Peter making him the richest spider in the world.

That would make for an interesting What if...?

What if Aunt May was f*$%ing loaded?

I'd buy

Personal Wealth?

1. Scrooge pwns
2. Santa ( pwns all but Scrooge ).
3. Namor... though that depends on whether it's all considered solely 'his' wealth
4. Reed Richards/Black Panther
5. Tony/Batman

Why would Reed be richer than Batman or Tony? I mean thats what they are known for. Being really smart rich guys. NO WAY he's richer than Tony or Bruce.

Wait a sec. He didn't say they were richer, he said in terms of personal wealth. Wayne's money is Wayne Enterprises. Same with Stark. Namor's money is technically the treasury of Atlantis. It's a little screwy to disregard the money from the corporations especially in Stark's case since he built almost all of his own technology.


To the list. Well..... It's pretty much settled that Scrooge is the Saudi Royal Family of Rich guys in comics. I'm going to disregard Heads of state like Doom and Namor, given that a country has far higher resources than a corporation. Santa's wealth is too much of a grey area, plus he's magic, so let's not count him. Ra's Al Ghul at his peak did dwarf Wayne Enterprises. But by the time Nyssa took over, about half the money was gone. Stark and Luthor were pretty much tied, but Luthor's impeachment and subsequent destruction of LEX corp puts Stark far above him. I can't comment on Reed, since I have no idea how many patents he's sold off. but I'm sure he's up there.


you'd really think Vandal Savage would be high up on this list, but he's something of a hermit and he doesn't seem to care about money. Same with Apocalypse. Selene's pretty rich, maybe more than Reed. She's among the oldest mutants in existence. I'm sure whoever the Lord Imperial of the hellfire club is, he's ****ing loaded.

Wayne by himself is a multi-billionare and so is Stark. Both have personal fortunes above Reed.

25% of Reeds fortune was comparable to Bill Gates.
And again, this is personal fortunes.

In addition, theres no telling how much he's gained since the Civil War has started.

25% of the total company is near Bill Gates difference. cause Johnny gets his 25% too. and that leaves reed and Sue with 50% And i mean considering what wayne industries is worth and the fact that it owns lexcorp i'd say that's little to what bruce owns as he actually owns more that 50% of his company.

Ritchie Rich

Dr.Strange. End of debate.

Why? He can create actual gold from thin air i.e limitless money.

Can't beat limitless.

Hadrian from the new Wildcats series runs Halo Corporation which is valued at $3 trillion. His personal fortune is only $500 billion though. What a hobo.

In one of the recent Amazing Spider-Man issue a new report mentions the billions Reed, Hank and Tony are making from the war with new patents etc. He's got some serious bank

dude, a ton is a ton, regardless of what it's made out of. 1 ton made out of gold = 1 ton made out of rocks. None is heavier.
