For clarity's sake, who's richer?

**Erik Lehnsherr** · 10-13-2006, 08:56 PM

Bruce Wayne or Lex Luthor?

**Bat-Mite** · 10-13-2006, 08:59 PM

Right now, I read that it was Bruce Wayne. I can't remember where I did, though.

Lex has completely lost control of LexCorp after the OYL jump, whereas Bruce has had an entire year to devote to his boys and his company, allowing Wayne Enterprises to flourish. So, I'd definitely say Bruce.

Powergirl, Ted Kord, Booster Gold, Max Lord, Wally......

Yeah, but most of them are dead.

Luthor was wealthier at one point, but Wayne later overtook him.

Yeah, he won real big on the Ocean Liner's casino playing Keno....

Unless Lex has some green stashed away somewhere, I'd say Bruce.

At least a couple of those people lost their fortune and never made it back, though.

For what it's worth, in 2005, Forbes estimated Lex Luthor to be wealthier than Bruce Wayne by the tune of $3.5 billion.

In the DCU, everyone is rich. In the MU, everyone is capable of building killer robots.

FORBES information is outdated.

FORBES might be the best in the business as far as financial matters in the *real* world, but when it comes to measuring the wealth of fictional comic book characters, FORBES has *nothing* on us comic geeks! :D

Does it really matter? What could a 12 billionaire buy that a 10 billionaire couldn't? I don't know how much each was worth but they're both billionaires. Or, at least Lex was until everything was taken from him.
