The Forbes Fictional 15

The rich may be different than you and me--but not nearly as different as the characters that comprise the Forbes Fictional 15, the annual listing of fiction's very wealthiest. This year's selections includes a duck, a wizard, a Nigerian prince and even a plumber. Aggregate (fictional) net worth? $111 billion. The biggest change to this year's list comes at the very top. For the first time in the Fictional 15's history, Santa Claus has been unseated from the number-one spot, replaced by defense contractor Oliver ''Daddy'' Warbucks.
