Every year in addition to their Top 100 Richest People In the World list, Forbes also releases a smaller list, entitled the Top 15 Richest Fictional Characters. I just stumbled across it browsing at 3am and thought it interesting. The rankings are:

As much as I don't want to say it...

No. 1 Carlisle Cullen - Net worth $34,100,000,000 - Made from Compound Interest (lots of it), Long-term Investments (very long) - From the Twilight Saga - First year on the list but beats out Scrooge for the top spot, a position he held for over 50 years

Interesting find. I'm not surprised (though I am disappointed) that a Twilight character topped the list.

[Bean]

Sad, a twilight character atop the list They do say compound interest is a wonderful thing.

I'm interested in knowing Carlisle's age, I'm betting I know a couple of vampires (and other creatures) older and possibly more wealthy than him.
