Which comic book superhero is the richest?
« on: May 14, 2012, 04:59:02 PM »
So, today at the school I work at, some kids were getting into this debate and nobody could quite figure it out. Personally, I think Wayne might be the richest

I always thought it was Wayne, but maybe I'm just dumb.

Forbes says it's Stark and I'm inclined to agree.

Wish I checked that out before I voted for Brucey. Nice to see Smaug up there, and Tywin Lannister.

Stark built a whole building for no other purpose than to glorify himself.  Wayne tricked out a cave with such a weak security system it apparently couldn't even keep out a guy with chronic asthma.

More supervillain than superhero unless it's considered heroic to be able to swim through coins.

Don't know about the third choice, but while Batman had all his wealth inherited Stark built his empire on his genius, so I just hope Start is richer.

Stark inherited most of it. He just made it bigger.

Bruce Wayne is usually presented as independently wealthy, whereas Tony Stark has an active corporate empire that continues to grow.  Wayne might have similar holdings and investments, but I just get the impression the Stark has several times more.

I thought the Lannisters were heavily in debt to the Iron bank? Or is that just the Iron Throne?

It's the reverse. The Iron Throne is heavily in debt to the Lannisters.

It's said repeatedly throughout the books that the Lannisters are the richest people in Westeros.

I'd say wayne, Stark is just more visible in flaunting what he has.

But Cersei sends the bank guy packing when he comes to collect on the throne's debt.

Stark and Wayne both have more money than they know what to do with. I don't have a clue about Green Arrow. He really has no relevance in the world of Superhero's.

I don't think that the throne being in debt necessarily means the Lannisters are also in debt.

I'd guess those two have separate money.

I'm pretty sure the coin swimming is just a special ability Scrooge has.  I recall an episode of Duck Tales where he took the boys to the Money Bin and dove in for a swim, then Huey Duey & Louie jumped down, landed hard on the coins and were all "how does he do that?" while they rubbed their heads.


Oh, and I'm not sure who's richer between Bruce & Tony, but Tony sure seems to be enjoying life more so I'd assume him.  Then again, maybe it is Bruce.  You know the saying- mo' money, mo' problems.

Yeah, it's hard to say because Bruce and Tony live completely opposite lifestyles.  Tony definitely flaunts it and gives the impression of huge wealth, but Bruce is so low-key that you just don't know, you just don't really have any idea.
