Soaring gold prices pushed Scrooge McDuck to the top of Forbes' 2007 list of wealthy fictional characters.
Forbes' "Fictional 15" first appeared in 2002 but became annual in 2005. In order to qualify, a character must be an "authored fictional creation" (no myth or folklore), "star in a specific narrative work or series of works" and have a reputation -- in and out of fiction -- for wealth.
Forbes applies contemporary market values to the character's source material to estimate net worth. Defense contractor Daddy Warbucks topped the 2006 list thanks to the war in Iraq, while the likes of Mr. Burns, Mr. Howell, and Richie Rich make perennial appearances.
