Not all that interesting, is it?

I didn’t think so either. The sheer numbers are impressive and Bill Gates’ position at the top of the list didn’t exactly come as a surprise. So why am I writing this then? Well, it’s just a little introduction to a much more interesting list I stumbled across lately: The Forbes Fictional 15.

Each year (save for last year, I guess) Forbes Magazine publishes a list of the 15 richest fictional people from books, movies, comics, television and video games. Take a second to contemplate whom you would see in such a ranking and then have a look at this video or the list below to find out who really were the richest of the rich in 2013.

15. Jay Gatsby ($ 1 billion)

14. Mary Crawley ($ 1.1 billion)

13. Mr. Monopoly ($ 1.2 billion)

12. Lara Croft ($ 1.3 billion)

11. Walden Schmidt ($ 1.3 billion)

10. C. Montgomery Burns ($ 1.5 billion)
