Winning Mega Millions Numbers Still Wouldn't Make You as Rich as These Superheroes
The Mega Millions prize is a cool $1.60 billion, so where does the lucky winner (or winners) find [...]
Green Arrow
While Wayne Enterprises might be more well known, Queen Industries is no slouch in the money department.
It's part of why Oliver Queen can carry on as Green Arrow when he's not involved in the day to day business, as his current net worth is $7 billion. His company focuses on keeping Star City safe and clean, but he does spend a bit on his trademark arrows, which do everything from hit people with boxing gloves to exploding and launching nets.
So that's where the money goes!

It helps to have people everywhere when it comes to making money, and the Kingpin Wilson Fisk happens to specialize in that, paving the way for a net worth of $30 billion.
Fisk is immensely skilled at making money in the shadows, making it incredibly hard for other heroes like Daredevil to prove it comes from illegal activities. He then uses that money to further his power in the legit business world, building an empire that heroes have a hard time infiltrating.

It's always an advantage in the funds department when you literally rule a nation with an iron fist, and Doctor Doom certainly qualifies.
The country of Latveria isn't the biggest country, but he utilizes it in creative ways, and combined with his various patents (he is a genius after all) has managed to amass a net worth of $35 billion. It helps when no one wants to invade or cross paths with you, being that you are ruled by someone who would take an army out all by himself, and you tend to get good deals from trade when they are scared of getting blown away by your leader.

Few are as business savvy as Lex Luthor, and that's a big part of why he's worth $75 billion.
Lex is quite skilled at doing business on the legal side of the fence, whether that be in real estate, technology, stocks, or defense contracts. Thing is he is also good at supplementing those businesses with underhanded and outright illegal reinforcements when necessary, not to mention disrupting entire cities with schemes or assembling groups like the Legion of Doom. He's an all-around threat, and we don't see him letting go of those funds anytime soon.
prevnextThe Dark Knight
One of the wealthiest superheroes calls Gotham home, as Bruce Wayne brings in a haul of $9.2 billion.
That's pretty impressive, but perhaps even more impressive is the fact that his company makes that number look small. Wayne Enterprises, Wayne's company and personal Dark Knight fund, makes around $31.3 billion a year. That easily explains why Bats can afford to have like 13 Batmobiles and like 5 Batplanes, as well as pay that ridiculously costly electric bill for the Batcave.
Wayne's money is evident in the sophisticated technology he has at his disposal, but as high-tech, as he is, he would likely still be jealous of the next person on this list.
prevnextThe Armored Avenger
While the winners of the latest lottery won't be struggling for money, they won't be up to Tony Stark's level of wealth, who comes in ahead of Bruce Wayne.
Actually, that's not completely true. Tony Stark's personal net worth is ahead of Bruce Wayne's at $12.4 billion, but he doesn't take a complete victory. Tony Stark's company Stark Industries makes a ridiculous 20.3 billion per year, but that comes in behind Wayne Enterprises' $31.3 million.
Still, Stark isn't hurting for money, and you'll see that Stark logo on just about everything these days. You'll also see it every time he takes to the skies in a new Iron Man suit, as he's constantly developing new armor and technological upgrades like the Bleeding Age armor, which utilizes nanites to form around his body so he doesn't have to carry his armor with him any longer.
Bet Wayne would love to have that too.
prevnextThe King
While no one is feeling sorry for Luthor, Wayne, or Stark, they don't hold a candle to the wealth of a certain King of Wakanda Black Panther.
T'Challa isn't just a wealthy hero, but he is the king of the wealthiest and most technologically advanced nation on the planet. That explains why his net worth is...wait for it...$90.7 trillion. Yep, trillion, making him worth more than all of the previous heroes combined.
That wealth mostly stems from Wakanda's national treasure Vibranium, which is one of the strongest and rarest metals on the planet. Wakanda is sitting on tons of it, which to put into perspective costs $10,000 per gram, so you can understand how that adds up pretty quickly.
T'Challa also comes in ahead of anyone on the Forbes richest people list, as the top spot goes to Bill Gates at $79.2 billion, so it looks like he's got some catching up to do if he wants to keep up with the Black Panther.
