On top of the list is the ancient red-golden dragon Smaug, known by hobbits and dwarves across Middle Earth as “Smaug the Tremendous” and “Smaug the Unassessably Wealthy.” Smaug’s personal fortune jumped 16% from last year to $62 billion after wyrm watchers crafted a more detailed analysis of his massive hoard of coins, jewels and antiques.

What about Lex Luthor???? And Victor Von Doom? And Red Richards? And Robotnik (or Sonic)? And Nuclear (He could create any material he wishes to)?

I think Flintheart Glumgold's presence on the list explains what happened to Scrooge McDuck. Perhaps it's the writer's commntary on unscrupulous business practices due to de-regulation.

Without Scrooge McDuck, the list makes no sense. You could move smaug, his hoard, and his entire cave to the bottom of the money vault and the money would still cover them up completely.

Forbes didn't even list Mr. Monopoly's real name: Milburn Pennybags. Hmmph!
