I think "Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive" proves just how much Lex can mess with Batman using just humans. If Lex had wanted Batman dead in that arc, Batman would be dead.
And Lex is far more affluent than Bruce Wayne, someone posted up that old Forbes magazine thing, and it says Bruce is richer, but that's the 02 one, on the 05 one, Lex moved a decent margin ahead of him.

Here's the updated list, just a few weeks ago.
Lex is worth nearly double what Bruce is.
He also will have much more at his disposal in this fight, and SHOULD win[as Lex has the giant suits of armor, robots, and all kinds of crazy tech], but Batman more likely will, especially as mentioned, some help from his freinds, Oracle would be monumental being the world's best hacker.. Bats is a much better battle strategist.

Wow, you're basically giving up your credibility to say anything to make his point at this point aren't you? I said specifically that the arc proved if he wanted Batman dead he could have done it. It's ONLY because of plot contrivances that Wayne had some 14+ issues to even figure out who was messing with him before he could respond.
If Lex had executed the exact same plan as an assassination instead of a frame-up, Batman would be long departed from this world.

And since when did Forbes count as a more reliable source than the current comics? Superman explicitly said Wayne is wealthier. From the pages of Superman we have Talia being entrusted with Luthor's assets then eventually selling them off to Wayne. Wayne has his legitimate holdings, Luthor's legitimate holdings, and his hidden Bat-Fortune against Luthor's split (between two Luthor's) illegitimate holdings. Only in the most biased of imaginations is Luthor still more wealthy than Batman at this point.

I was just saying it wasn't a good example considering how bad Lex got owned. I never said it WOULDN'T work as an assassination if he came all out. And, I merely had posted the newest Forbes list up in the face of the old one being shown as evidence of why Bruce was more wealthy. My credibility isn't in question at all. I even said Batman would win, so would I "say anything" to back Lex?

That's EXACTLY why your credibility is questionable. The fact that you won't present the facts once you have a bias.
A credible analysis would objectively look at the facts even when they go against their desired outcome. A credible look would consider both Lex's cunning and Batman's wealth... not simply restate one out of context or ignore the other's citing an invalid source simply to "prove" their favorite.
If people don't try to be objective it's nothing more than a popularity contest, testing the fervency of the poster's fandom, rather than a fair fight.
That's my problem.

You're also not recognizing The Man of Steel Lex Luthor series, where Lex once again became among the richest in the world. Though it's impossible to guage I think, against Bruce Wayne.
