Black Panther
$90 trillion

Black Panther is not only the first black superhero in a mainstream comic book series, he’s also the richest. While other superheroes may derive their wealth from business or commercial interests, T’Challa has his own country. And not just any country, but the kingdom of Wakanda, home to the entire world’s reserves of Vibranium, the most precious and strongest metal in the Marvel Comic Universe.

According to the comic books, it retails for close to $10,000 per gram, giving the country more than $90 trillion worth of Vibranium reserves, giving T’Challa a net worth that’s $10 trillion more than the entire real world’s GDP.

Ozymandias
$7 billion

Born as Adrian Veidt, the villain in chief of the Watchmen franchise, Ozymandias has quite a few notable achievements: He’s the smartest man on Earth, is in peak physical fitness [enough to catch a bullet, literally], and runs a ruthless business enterprise with criminal efficiency. In fact, he was so confident of his ability to make billions that at the age of 17, he gave away his entire fortune to charity. He then started off all over again, and went into business by selling toys modelled on himself. As of today, he’s holed up in Antarctica, but cares deeply about the state of the universe.

Iron Man
$9.3 billion

Unlike a lot of others who made their own billions, Tony Stark aka Iron Man was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. And also unlike a lot of the other super rich people, who are generally despised for their riches (looking at you, Batman), everybody loved Stark. Maybe because he invested his billions into saving the world, but Stark also built himself a fine sea-side mansion, as also a sparkling headquarters for the Avengers in New York.

Batman
$9 billion

Forbes estimates Bruce Wayne aka Batman’s net worth to be in the region of $9.2 billion, while the Bruce Enterprises is said to have an annual revenue of $31.3 billion. All pretty cool, especially for someone whose superpower is money. Spiderman can spin a web; He-Man is the strongest man in the universe, Batman? He has cool cars. But it’s perhaps for the best. The future of the world depends on Bruce Wayne’s money, considering Ra’s Al Ghul is literally immortal and himself is worth $ 1 billion.

Lex Luthor
$10.1 billion

Lex Luthor is a wealthy, power-mad business magnate. He likes to spend his billions on philanthropy and on making himself look good, while also nurturing ambitions of running for president. Standing in his way is Superman [although Batman has also faced off on occasion], and Lois Lane, who like most journalists, has scruples that cannot be swayed by money. And finally, he’s enduring proof that money can buy success: In one of the more recent Justice League comics, the dreaded Lex Luthor, supervillain extraordinaire, evil incarnate, was cast as hero. What use is money if it can’t ensure a little image makeover, after all?.
