50 Richest Movie Characters
The most absurdly wealthy charact𝐆eꦿrs in film history, ranked in ascending order
About the Rich List...
Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, Count Dracula… They’re the movie characters that are worth a bob or two (well, more like several hundred million). We count down the cinematic creations who give the most buck for their bang…
Rules and Regulations
꧅
We approached our quest to find the richest movie characters with great attention to detail. Where a net worth was unavailable, we have measured the identifiable🦹 wealth.
This includes all assets such as property, shareholdings and visible ꦡcash. Shareholdings of fictional companies have been determined from measurable signs of market capitalisation, such as area of industry, number of employees, details of revenue, co🍷mparisons with real world corporations and perceived prestige.
To keep💦 things more manageable, we have only selected well-known characters who are notable for being wealthy. We assume that nothing new has happened since their last filmic appearance and all figures are inflation adjusted to current 2011 rates, wherever necessary.
While values are based on൲ estimates, nothing has b♕een taken for granted or left to guesswork.
