Has it ever been stated how much these two are worth? I know its in the billions but has a specific or guess at a number ever been given?

[Zoom's Doorway]

lol, so Bruce Wayne not only has to be the bestest hero who can defeat ANYONE, but he also has to be the RICHEST man in the fictional world, too?

Bruce is richer, according to Superman in Superman/Batman Public Enemies.

[Let's Kill Hitler]

I'm pretty sure LexCorp is a bigger buisness than Wayne Enterprises. It's just a hunch though.

Bruce's genuine dedication to philanthropy means that he gives away a lot more money than Lex ever would. I'd say just out of pure good old fashioned greed, Lex has more in the bank.

But Wayne stock is worth more.

But, I'm sure Lex has used a good share of his wealth in his "must kill Superman" schemes.

I wouldent see how Bruce is richer. Lex has business everywhere, that all seem to costs tons of money. Not to mention all those high tech battle suits hes built for his goons over and over, and all the moneys hes poured out trying to beat Superman and what not.

Lex has to be richer, Bruce only uses his money for gotham, some philanthrapy stuff, and his Batman gear. Where as Lex uses more money for more expensive things and more openly. Not just equipment for himself and his research, but for others too.

Bruce funds most incarnations of justice Leauge doesn't he.

I dont know, never read a justice league book.

Wait you have read Bat-books though right? Otherwise how could you tell who was richer or not objectively?

Anyway I don't really who is richer between these two. They are both really 'effing rich. Its like asking who is faster Barry or Wally. They are both really damn Fast. It's splitting hairs after that.

I do know Forbes posted a list of richest fictional characters which had IIRC Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne maybe Lex that may be fun to check out. (I doubt its based on much, but like I said fun to check out).

Right but Luthor has a cheaper bottom line. He can bust unions, have shoddy factories, use sweat shops and cheat labor, etc. He can use every unethical business practice to keep cost nice and low. Bruce Wayne though he has to pay everyone a fair wage and use an ethical business model.
