Hi all!
Have you seen this?
http://www.forbes.com/2002/09/13/400fictional.html
Today Norwegian Text-TV reffered to this list from a so-called serious American economic magazine called Forbes have somehow managed to put together this stupid list over the world's 15 richest fictional billionaires - which should make us all laugh:
Rank Name Net Worth
==========================================
1. Santa Claus $
2. Richie Rich 24.7 billion
3. Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks 10.0 billion
4. Scrooge McDuck 8.2 billion
5. Thurston Howell III 8.0 billion
6. Willie Wonka 8.0 billion
7. Bruce Wayne 6.3 billion
8. Lex Luthor 4.7 billion
9. J.R. Ewing 2.8 billion
10. Auric Goldfinger 1.2 billion
11. C. Montgomery Burns 1.0 billion
12. Charles Foster Kane 1.0 billion
13. Cruella De Vil 875 millon
14. Gordon Gekko 650 millon
15. Jay Gatsby 600 millon
==========================================
First - when did Santa Claus get particularly rich? I have never learened that from Norwegiuan traditions nor from my Disney comics. So including good old santa on this list is no less than bu..-sh...
Secondly - who the he.. is the two nobodys called "Richie Rich" and "Oliver 'Daddy' Warbucks". Are they some obscure modern US-characters created for today's kids?
Thirdly - how the he.. can they estimate Uncle $crooges fortune to ONLY $8.2 billion. That's completely ridiculus.
Fourthly - where the he.. is Flintheart Glomgold and Rockerduck?
My conlusion: the Forbes list of fiction billionaires is completely non-scientific and totally worthless.
I'll say
#1 - Scrooge McDuck
#2 - Flintheart Glomgold
#? - John D. Rockerduck
And please forgive me for being a bit upset over this matter, but I hate it when stupid people neglects facts about our dear Ducks.
Sigvald :-)
