## Transcript

[ NOISE ] You ever hear Tony Stark talk about his money problems? Hey, it's good to be back. Kevlar utility harness, gas- powered magnetic grapple gun. Or wonder just how How much of a burden it is financially maintaining a bat cave. Or for the Superhero nerds out there, Money has laid out everything you ever wanted to know about the world's richest Superheroes. I'm Professor Charles Xavier I built this school where mutants could learn to focus their powers in a positive way. First up, Professor X, the leader of the X- Men and founder for the school for gifted youngsters. Maintaining any school is going to be costly.

But as Cerebro, fighting Magneto one up, fairly regular basis, and the X Jet, and we're talking serious bill Despite all of this, Professor X is worth about 3. 5 billion, that's according to new X Man character, Phantom X, who tried to extort money from the professor. Professor X's net worth seems a little disappointing, considering the telepathic abilities and all, but maybe winning the lotto would be too suspicious. Master Wayne, are you coming? Back for long, sir. Dealing with crime fighting has got to make running the biggest company in Gotham difficult. So what are you proposing? It's simple.

Kill the bat man. And considering Gotham has dealt with the Joker, Bane, and Ra's al Ghul over the past few years. Wayne Enterprises got to be considering relocation, right? Well, despite the extremely bad fortune of Gotham City, Wayne Enterprises is doing just fine and so is it's CEO. For years I've been shuttering and consolidating all the different prototypes under one roof. My roof. Thank god for Lucius Big man in a suit of armor. Take that away, what are you? A genius billionaire playboy philanthropist. [ LAUGH ] And lest we forget, CEO of multi- billion dollar weapons company Stark Industries.

If Tony Stark is not the richest superhero, he definitely has the most fun. I want one. No. Mr. Stark tops our list with a $ 12. 4 billion net worth. While Stark Industries boasts an annual revenue of just over 20 billion dollars. But we're still waiting on this year's numbers. That the best you can do? [ LAUGH ] That whole Ultron fiasco had to be expensive.
