If you're an avid follower of TV, games, or books, you're likely familiar with a host of fictional characters. But have you ever wondered which one boasts the highest net worth?

The financial standing of these characters might not be something you've given much thought to, but some of them have amassed quite a fortune. So, who do you think is the wealthiest of them all?

These ultra-rich fictional characters may not exist in reality, but their bank balances could rival those of your favourite celebrities. You might assume that Mr Burns from The Simpsons and Mr Monopoly are worth a pretty penny.

While you wouldn't be wrong, they don't come close to topping the list. Mr Monopoly, the face of wealth since 1936, has a staggering net worth of $1.2 billion (£981,690,000).

His ability to monopolise the Hasbro board game has undoubtedly contributed to his immense wealth, according to The Richest. However, Mr Burns from The Simpsons surpasses him.

As one of pop culture's most recognisable ultra-rich characters, he's worth an impressive $1.5 billion (£1.2 million). This could be attributed to his lack of generosity and disregard for his employees' safety, prioritising profit over people's wellbeing.
