But he's still too cheap to buy pants

Scrooge McDuck tops this year’s list of Forbes Fictional 15 — the richest characters in fiction. All told, the Fab 15 have a net worth of $137 billion.


McDuck, 80, moved into the top spot following the death of last year’s richest character— Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks. The father of adopted daughter Lil’Orphan Annie was killed by an improvised explosive devise during a visit this year to Iraq, according to Forbes. Who knew? Why doesn't the MSM report this?


Only two women — Mom and Princess Peach — made the list.


Good news for singles. Ten of the richest 15 are single, including Bruce Wayne and C. Montgomery Burns. Ten-year-old Richie Rich, of course, is too young to marry.


At a net worth of $28.8 billion, the single McDuck is the biggest catch — that is, of course, if you can get past the fact that he doesn’t wear pants.
