@bushidosquirrel, please edit your post to add the alt text below (part 1 of 3):
Text box with a picture of a dragon in front of a pile of gold:
This is Smaug, the dragon from "The Hobbit". Smaug famously stole a mountain full of gold. So full that he sleeps buried under gold. We're talking literal tons and
tons of gold by weight.
(Alt text, part 2 of 3)
Forbes ranks Smaug as the second wealthiest fictional character. He had been first, but the price of gold took a tumble and now his vast, overwhelming fortune is only worth an estimated or $51,400,000,000.00, or $51.4 billion.
That means that EVEN THOUGH he has an ENTIRE MOUNTAIN full of almost nothing but solid gold, Smaug would rank as the FIFTEENTH wealthiest American.
(Alt text, part 3 of 3)
Fourteen Americans have more money than a gold-hoarding dragon.
Please consider that next time you say deca-billionaires deserve their wealth and shouldn't pay their employees living wages.
