2. local governing authority: the governing authority of an incorporated municipality such as a city or town
3. group acting as single entity: a group of people acting as a single entity
en·ter·prise [ 1. éntə?r pr?z ] (plural en·ter·pris·es)
noun Definitions: 1. commercial business: a commercial company
2. business activities directed at profit: organized business activities aimed specifically at growth and profit
3. daring new project: a new, often risky, venture that involves confidence and initiative
4. readiness to undertake new ventures: readiness to put effort into new, often risky, ventures or activities
Not only do the terms "corporation" and "enterprise" have nothing to do with the company in question's monetary value, they aren't even mutually exclusive terms. A corporation, when referring to a business engaged in the pursuit of profit, is by definition an enterprise and many enterprises are corporations.

You said that "They have nothing to do with the company in question's monetary value", yet in the next sentence you say "A corporation, when referring to a business engaged in the pursuit of profit," Kinda sounds contradictory. And your pasted definitions futher asist me with my case as well, just to let you know. And a corporation is a business. Why are you saying "when a corporation is reffered to as a busines." A corporation IS only reffrered to as a business...why, what is a corporation called when it's not reffrered as a business?

OK here its pretty simple
For those of you who watch the JL episodes. Do you remember the episode named Injustice for All?
Dont you remember when Luthor attempted to pay the Humanite money to kill Superman?
Well for those of you who didnt know... Batman was captured and made an even better deal than what Lex was paying.
This is just one example of Batman's riches.
Next example would simple be the JL Watchtower, Space Shuttle (Brainiacs in the first episode of JLU), and there are many more examples.

I Read, then comprehend, then respond. That way you don’t look like such an idiot.
I do understand English very well, ma'am. You didn't state anything clearly because you aren't making sense.
Can you kindly give an example of kind of "group of people acting as a single entity" in the form of a corporation instead of acting like an idiot with whale crap for brains? Thank you.
lol Jeez, you just came off at me as if you were filled with piss and vinigar. Did some guy put off on you? Relax, lol
😂
The local governing authority of a municipality (a definition already provided for you). A union. A lobby group. Any group taking some sort of legal action where they are considered a single entity, as in class action law-suits and the like.
I tire of your willfull ignorance. The fact is that you're arguing with a rather insignificant aspect of my posts, whilst ignoring the fact that I've clearly refuted your point. Your only point was that a corporation was worth more than an enterprise, and yet you have done nothing to establish that these differing terms have anything to do with a given company's net worth. I have provided a few definitions for each term (none of which support your assertion): heck, you can go and look them up yourself. Any dictionary will provide definitions that closely resemble what I've provided. If you can find a single definition of either term, from any source, that backs up your claim, let's see it.
According to an updated list from Forbes Lex Luthor is much more rich than Wayne. Look at his revenew:

Not to worry. Earlier, Wayne was above Luthor by a couple of billions. But I doubt they'll ever knock out Santa Claus from 1st place. 😛

Who sold everything to Wayne.
Talia continually looked for ways to sink Luthor's empire, even leaking a devestating story to Clark Kent, in hopes that his article would take out the company... unforunately, Clark doubted his power as a journalist and instead had Superman bust heads in private to turn the company around... rather than have the company collapse due to a public scandal. As a final solution, Talia sold everything to Wayne.
Anyone who thinks Bruce isn't currently far richer than Lex is ignorant.

That's the thing, Lex has no legal assets anymore. They were given up when he became President and then sold to Bruce. So it's a comparison of Bruce's legal holdings, plus Lex's former legal holdings, plus his hidden Batman holdings against Lex's hidden/illegal holdings only.
Plus: And it was stated in Superman/Batman #6 (or #5?) that Bruce has more money than Lex.... so end of discussion I think

i think they're comparable in terms of wealth...cept the Waynes invested in stuff that will benefit humanity....Luthor only invests in stuff that will benefit him....whether it benefits humanity is a side effect or a way for him to establish more investing opportunities cuz it makes him look like a good guy.I think Luthor's more of risk taker (with crazy experiments, military applications, etc) while Wayne has a solid foundation (R & D, hospitals, etc). That's just my feel for it.
How are other characters in terms of wealth? Black Panther, Tony Stark (Marvel U)? Ras Al Ghul?
Black Panther should be richer than either of them. He's the king of one of the 3 most powerful countries in the world (the other two being the U.S. and Latveria), and hold the monopoly of the only source of vibranium in the world. And he easily bought out all of Tony Stark's shares from his company, that should tell ya something.😉
Well, I reckon the POTUS has gotta be rich and shit plus he gets away with loads of evil shit and stuff. Lucius may be a better CEO buisnessman but Lex is way more ruthless. I'm not sure if Wayne Enterprises or LexCorp are bigger, probably LexCorp. All the Bat stuff's gonna cost a f*ck load of cash too... I reckon Lex, though if it was on legal dealing/ business skill, Wayne with Lucius' help, would be richer!
