Forbes magazine has assembled a list of the 15 wealthiest fictional characters based on net worth, as determined by the fictional character’s source material, and where possible, “valued against known real-world commodity and share price movements. In the case of privately held fictional concerns, we seek to identify comparable fictional public companies.”
The figures are adjusted for inflation. I’m not entirely sure how they came up with the number, but apparently the company put a whole lot of thought into their calculations.
