  Now adjust for inflation. The comic was published in 1989. $1 then is $2.48 today. That’s a cumulative price increase of 148.22%, or an average price increase of 2.71% per year for 34 years. It is 4:30am, I am on a shuttle bus, and I am not showing any signs of going to sleep anytime soon.

    He rounded down the number for some reason. This is how much money Scrooge McDuck has, $315,576,000,000,000,000. That is with leap years included.

      Okay what about inflation

    So that motherfucker has almost a quintillion dollars.

    What the fuck did he do, conquer Ceres?

      The total of all world assets is somewhere in the realm of $500 trillion. So, McDuck owns around 2,000 times all of Earth’s assets combined.

        Of course he also lives in a world with anthropomorphic animals, so it’s safe to assume it’s not our world.

        You know, oddly enough, I just started watching The Expanse and it’s actually not all that bad of a show. At least they try to do zero-G right

    Inflation is likely higher, since McDuck has way more of the cake than realistic.

    • JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      He be causing hyperinflation with that money

  They did the math.

  • SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    And today specifically, they did the monster math.

      It was a graveyard smath!

        It was still today until I did a sleep. Now it’s tomorrow.

  Yeah, this could be done better and would still send a message without unnecessary exaggeration.

    Are you suggesting that Scrooge McDuck's net work is less than $310 quadrillion? Second question: how do you know?

    source
  • WhiteHawk@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Bro, it’s a comic. They’re not trying to send a message, it’s supposed to be ridicilous.

  • wandermind@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I mean, THE main character traits of Scrooge McDuck are that he’s stingy and absolutely ludicrously filthy rich.

    source

    • kameecoding@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      being a billionaire is already filthy fucking rich.

      let’s replace it with everyone’s most hated cunt, the Muskrat estimated networth at 225 billion.

      let’s say he loses a million every minute, which is let’s be honest still a shitton of money, literally life-changing for at least 95% of the planet.

      well at that rate of losses 1 million every minute

      it would still take him 177 days to lose all his networth.

      increase it to 1 million every hour, which is still a very good rate to be losing “money” and it takes him 29 years to lose it.

        This is a comic book. For children. Not an economics lesson.

        source
  • topinambour_rex@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It is a comic done for kids. There is no message, except entertaining them and selling comics.

    source

    • pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Lol nah, they absolutely have messages and have always had them.

      No media can ever be there to have no message and only to entertain. They all have an underlying message whether it’s intentional or not because that is how all stories are made comic book or not.

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’d like to see you swim in a giant money bin with less than $310 quadrillion.

    source
  • Loulou@lemmy.mindoki.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It does get the message through though because it’s just about feelings not about some actual danger.

    source
• Gordon@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Let’s see, you posted this about 19 hours ago, starting value was 315 with a bunch of zeros… yeah someone else can do the math, but I think our buddy scrooge will be just fine.
