Luthor up on Forbes list
Forbes released their 2005 list of fiction's richest last week, and it's loaded with comics' most clout-endowed. Pretty much blowing everyone else away at the #1 spot is Santa Claus with infinity dollars. The rest of the list is rounded off as follows:
The List
1. Santa Claus
2. Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks
3. Richie Rich
4. Lex Luthor
5. C. Montgomery Burns
6. Scrooge McDuck
7. Jed Clampett
8. Bruce Wayne
9. Thurston Howell III
10. Willy Wonka
11. Arthur Bach
12. Ebenezer Scrooge
13. Lara Croft
14. Cruella De Vil
15. Lucius Malfoy
Notable absentees here, I believe, include Dr. Doom, Professor Charles Xavier, and Tony Stark. In fact, there are no Marvel names present on the list at all. Conspiracy? Editorial reading preferences? Or is there just that much more money in the DC Universe?

I wonder how Thurston Howell III ranks higher than Lara Croft or Willy Wonka. Wonka has his own candy empire and flying glass elevator, while Howell has, what, a radio made of coconuts?
I recall Tony's been there in previous years, but we know he's been operating with diminished funds since Disassembled. I thought it was cool Lucius Malfoy made the list, but how'd they convert wizarding money to muggle funds?
Wait- is it blue eyed or green eyed Luthor?
The one, true Luthor.
Do any of these guys have more money than God? Because God easily tops Santa, with infinity+ dollars.
Surely you aren't suggesting God is fictional.
