When you think about superheroes (or supervillains for that matter), you think of the immense power or the cool gadgets they have. Their wealth is kind of secondary. Having said that, when you think a little more about it, money plays a very important part in making of a superhero. For instance, Bruce Wayne won’t be Batman without his immense wealth. The same is true for Tony Stark, who is so filthy rich that he builds weapons for other superheroes as well. And think about Peter Parker aka Spider-Man. The fact that he is a middle class boy adds to his charm.
Obviously, in the fictional world of comic-book, the creators are free to imagine any kind of wealth for their creations. Though, it is fascinating to imagine how much wealth the superheroes have based on what we know about them and their world. With that being said, let’s delve into their world, and find out who are the richest superheroes and supervillains ever.
