"Billionaire." Even saying the word in 2024 prompts eye rolls, rants, and memes about guillotines. And when it comes to the real-world wealthy, it's possible that reaction isn't entirely unwarranted. But what about the filthy rich of fiction? Are they just as worthy of envy and ire, or are their considerable resources just as much detriments as they are literal assets? In this edition of FYF, Saint and Jim do a deep dive (like Scrooge McDuck into a vault of cash) into the finances of fiction's most fiduciarily fluid folks to see if they're using their gold for good, or...if they're more like the kind we actually have.
