| | | Lucius Malfoy on Wealthiest Fictional Characters list
Every year, Forbes publishes a list of the wealthiest fictional characters, and the largest fictional companies. This year, Lucius Malfoy, has been ranked 14th, being beaten by characters such as Mr Burns ( The Simpsons), Bruce Wayne ( Batman) and Willy Wonka ( Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Quote:
#14 Malfoy, Lucius
Net Worth: $1.6 billion
Source: Inheritance
Age: 51
Marital Status: Married
Hometown: Wiltshire, England
Education: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Patriarch of ancient wizarding family still standing after defeat of Dark Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Malfoy, himself a convicted criminal and Azkaban prison escapee, miraculously managed to avoid being sent back to jail thanks to well-timed “donations” to charities supported by influential Ministry of Magic employees. Now reunited with family and unfettered by criminal charges, Malfoy is aggressively pursuing new business enterprises. In June, attempted to corner the global cauldron market. In August, sold short more than $1 billion worth of Galleons, forcing Gringotts Bank to devalue and withdraw the currency from the Wizardly Exchange Rate Mechanism. Member since 2005.
Also being listed is Gringotts, the Wizarding Bank. Coming in at number 22 in the largest fictional companies, Gringotts was beaten by Wayne Enterprises ( Batman) and Wonka Industries ( Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Quote:
#22 Gringotts
Headquarters: London, England
Industry: Financial Services
CEO: Borgnuk
Est. 2007 sales: $4.4 billion
Reputation of Goblin bank left in tatters after successful break-in and burglary from one of its most highly secured vaults. Revelations that the theft was masterminded by Harry Potter (a.k.a. “The Boy Who Lived”) fail to reassure customers concerned that the bank’s much-ballyhooed security was compromised by mere children. Featured in Harry Potter.
The lists can both be seen here |

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

They've got the age wrong! He must be 53 or 54, since he was some 6 years older than the Marauders, who would be between 47 and 48.
I wonder where would Harry rank. Between his inheritance from his parents, and that of Sirius, his net worth most be pretty high. |

LMAO! I love it. You'd think the Black Family would be on there though. I mean I know that Lucius Malfoy is married to a Black sister. But I would of thought that the Blacks are mega rich.
