Go, Read: Really Rich Funnybook Icons

Kevin Melrose writes in to remind me Forbes has run its annual list of the 15 wealthiest fictional characters, which include comics luminaries such as Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne, Daddy Warbucks and Scrooge McDuck. Warbucks is constantly losing his money and spending months on the road as a hobo, so I'm trying to figure out how they have him so high on their list. It would be quite awesome if rich people on Forbes' real-life list were constantly losing their cash and taking to the road with bindles before making dramatic comebacks.
