Richest Cartoon Characters
Over on the MADATOMS site they have a chart that sets out some of the attributes relating to the richest cartoon cartoon characters.
At left is an extract from the chart covering Charles Montgomery Burns (what a great name) from The Simpsons.
From Mr Burns’ chart I got a bit of a smile from from the attribute “Rich Person They Most Resemble” with a comparison being drawn to the “Evil BP CEO and oil spill liar”—who I am sure is not actually evil but he is a popular target at the moment.
Another of the cartoon characters on the chart is jet-black haired babe Veronica Lodge from the Archies comics. That is Veronica on the right in the red dress in the picture above.
On the MADATOMS chart they liken Veronica to “bratty heiress Paris Hilton”.
In my research for Veronica I was somewhat surprised to find that she has her own Wikipedia page [Ctrl+Click to open in a new Tab]. Following is an extract from the Wikipedia entry:
Veronica is the only child of Hiram Lodge, the richest man in Riverdale, and his wife Hermione Lodge. She is tall, slender, and attractive with long black hair. Veronica favors expensive, up-to-the-minute fashion. […] Mr. Lodge moved his family to Riverdale in order to avoid Veronica becoming spoiled, like many of the children he knew and grew up with. His plan did not succeed as well as he had hoped.
