The Forbes Fictional 15 - Rich List


The posh American magazine, Forbes, known for it's list of billionaires, also does a rich list for fictional characters. Estimating their wealth as it would be in today's society, this year's list includes cartoon characters, comic book heroes and even a wizard.
