Lex Luthor

December 2, 2005: Lex Luthor Makes Forbes Fictional 15

Forbes have put together their Forbes Fictional 15 list, a list of the 15 richest fictional characters. Lex Luthor came in at number 4, four places ahead of his DC companion Bruce Wayne.

    To qualify for the Fictional 15, we insisted that members be both fictional (in the sense that we excluded mythological and folkloric figures) and characters (meaning they are part of a narrative story or series of stories). Great wealth was required to be one of the primary attributes of the characters on this list - in other words, we looked for characters that were known, within their universes, for being rich.

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
