Unhappy Billionaires are under-represented in media, liberal-bias hollywood - 10-28-2013, 04:33 PM

You might have heard Mexicans complaining that they are under-represented in the media. They're bunch of whiners. The real victims of media under-representation are billionaires.

Because of a lack of affluent characters in media, we face a lack of empathy from a public that doesn't understand us.

Forbes Magazine has proved it with an estimation of the net worth of real characters:

Quote:
Net worth estimates are based on an analysis of the real character’s source material, and where possible, valued against known real-world commodity and share price movements. In the case of privately held real concerns, we seek to identify comparable real public companies. All figures are as of market close, April 1, 2011.
(Note: they have an updated one, I'm using this one because it has the nice easy-to-post list).

Here are the richest people in fiction:

5. Jed Clampett $9.5 — Oil and gas
6. Tony Stark $9.4 B — Defense
7. Smaug $8.6 B — Marauding
8. Bruce Wayne $7.0 B — Inheritance and defense
9. Mr. Monopoly $2.6 B — Real estate
10. Arthur Bach $1.8 B — Inheritance
11. Jo Bennett $1.2 B — Electronics and inheritance
12. C. Montgomery Burns $1.1 B — Energy
13. Chuck Bass $1.1 B — Real estate
14. Gordon Gekko $1.1 B — Investments
15. Jeffrey Lebowski $1.0 B — Inheritance
Now take a look a similar list of real-life billionaires, and notice the huge difference.

1. Fictional rich people aren't as rich as real ones. The top 15 fictional billionaires have less money than the top 2 real-world billionaires. Only the top 8 fictional billionaires are rich enough to make the top-200 of real life billionaires. The 200th richest person has $6,600,000,000, almost 3 times as much as Mr. Monopoly.

2. There are 7 people with more money than the richest real character, Scooge Mcduck. He has barely more than half as much money of the REAL world's richest person.

Quote:
There are 7 people richer than this in real life.
3. Being a real-life billionaire doesn't have the fringe-benefit of an exiting lifestyle - there are no "treasure hunters" on the real-life billionaire list, and all the marauding and theft we do is in the form of boring office work. Sure, we get to launder money for drug cartels and Al Queda every now and then, but it feels like normal office work.

Here's what a fictional billionaire's private jet looks like:


This is what ACTUAL billionaire's private jets look like:
