Upheaval in the financial sector has widespread implications—it even affects the annual Forbes rankings of the wealthiest fictional characters.

  1. Scrooge McDuck: "Gains were crimped because of money spent having adventures with three nephews and bumbling personal pilot."
  2. Richie Rich: "Analysts are bullish about market potential of Prof. Keenbean's latest invention, a fusion-powered ice cream scoop."
  3. Tony Stark, aka Iron Man: Boasts "that he has 'privatized world peace.'"
  4. Jed Clampett: The Beverly Hillbillies paterfamilias is riding high along with the price of crude oil.
