Who needs the Sunday Times Rich List, when we can have the Forbes Fictional Fifteen?
It's a list (albeit somewhat flawed) of the richest characters from fiction, yes, it's US biased, and yes, it puts Willy Wonka only at number 6, when any fule kno he has to be richer than that... But the number 1 is no surprise, because as any Sluggite knows, you don't mess with Santa...

Of course as the fat, red suited and bearded santa was a trademark of the Coca-Cola corporation he could be very wealthy indeed :-)
I'm sure Hotblack Desiato would be up there, or Maxelcat - but it seems they are sticking to fairly earth bound persons.
I agree with the Wonka thing, he had to be worth way more than that - sole owner of the worlds premier confectionary provider (what is Nestle worth these days?).
There must be way more people they haven't even considered.
