I was browsing Forbes this morning. Among the man lists they have, I found one that was quite amusing. It’s a list of the wealthiest fictional characters.

You can view the list in it’s entirety here.

One that stands out to me is #9 Prince Abakaliki Of Nigeria. You may remember him from those famous email scams.

The first son of the late KING SANI ABAKALIKI, the former head of state of Nigeria; presently under protective custody as a political refugee. Despite his confinement and rumored physical and psychological torture, PRINCE ABAKALIKI does have a broadband Internet connection and keeps busy sending out countless e-mails to complete strangers who he hopes will cooperate with him in a mutual transaction. Specifically, PRINCE ABAKALIKI wants to get his hands on his share of his father’s estate ($50.000.000 US DOLLARS) which has been deposited in a fund with an unnamed foreign security company. Once a trustworthy stranger has opened communications with PRINCE ABAKLIKI, he will send a LETTER OF AUTHORITY to them, so that they may clear the fund and invest the money for him. For their services, the lucky stranger will receive 30% of the $50.000.000 US DOLLARS. New member.

Funny stuff huh? Who hasn’t received that email 100 times?
