2nd wealthiest fictional character? Thats cute! No. Not even close! Forbes needs exposure to more fiction.

There are a lot of galactic emperors to choose from. All of which would easily beat out a single little mountain of gold.

Would most people recognize them, though?

Lefty tries to make meme without wall of text challenge (impossible)

For real though thats some scary shit. Billions and trillions are such huge numerbs they blur together when in fact they have more difference than any number preceding them.

wow, to think that an outlandishly rich fairytale character has been wildly out matched by a boring dystopia

Clearly, uncle Scrooge has been always the wealthiest one. He has multiplujillions of dollars.

It's like better if you add the image to the post instead of within the body as an attachment.

Thats only because gold is undervalued today.

It's not really a good comparison to use the value of gold on earth for Smaug's wealth, you have to use the value of gold in middle earth, which is likely higher.
