Who's the richest?

[on:]

The title says it all.

[Reply #1 on:]

I think you should have put Nixon on that list. He can afford to spend all of Earth's money, after all.

[Reply #2 on:]

Yeah, but I wanted to put the less known rich characters on the list.  Besides, Nixon just took money from the Earth treasury like any President.

[Reply #3 on:]

well...the Wongs do own the western hemisphere of Mars (which, by the way, is the best hemisphere)

[Reply #4 on:]

My vote goes to Mom. Just think, 1 billion robots, all made by her company. That old bat is all right.

[Reply #5 on:]

My vote is for mom for the same reasons as newhook

[Reply #6 on:]

SILENCE! I concur.

[Reply #7 on:]

I think everyone will probably end up voting mom, but I like the poll choices, nice getting the more obscure rich characters

Not me. I think the Wongs are richest. Mom only runs a company, the Wongs own half a planet!

[Reply #9 on:]

Obviously, Mom.

[Reply #10 on:]

I am going to have to vote for Mom.  I think she makes more money from robots and such than Wongs make from their Buggalo herds.  Yes, they own half of Mars but we don't know what else Mom owns.  I just think her just her business is more profitable, she has a monopoly.

[Reply #11 on:]

The Wongs own half of a big dusty empty planet... Not much to own.

[Reply #12 on:]

Mom also controls the supply of oil the robots need a change of every 3000 miles. and i think they mentioned a few other products in A Fishfull of Dollars but i forget now.

[Reply #13 on:]

Mom, for reasons already stated.

[Reply #14 on:]

mom, no question.

[Reply #15 on:]

Anyone forgetting Zapp Brannigan?  He has his own starship!  I doubt that a poor person could afford a luxury like the Nimbus.  But choosing from the polls, I'd say Mom.

[Reply #16 on:]

That's not his starship! He just captains it for the doop. In "Brannigan Begin Again" he didn't get to keep the ship after he was dicharged.

I vote mom.

Other: Guenther after becoming pres. of FOX   

[Reply #18 on:]

I think he said he was going to business school to become a Fox executive.

[Reply #19 on:]

I gotta go with The Wongs. I mean, owning half a planet(the good half nonetheless) cant be done by just anyone.

[Reply #20 on:]

The Wongs bought Mars for a bead; I could have afforded that. Sure, it was a really expensive bead, but...

I say Mom.

Question: Joe Gillman and Fry got roughly 16.5 billion dollars each from the poppler sales, if I've used my calculator correctly. Where did all that money go?

[Reply #21 on:]

Into Joe's Swiss bank accounts.

I figured Bender spent all the money on hookers and booze.

[Reply #23 on:]

Remember the Futurama video game? Mom was rich enough to take over earth.

My vote goes to Mom.

[Reply #24 on:]

My Vote also to Mom for being rich

Joseph "FishyJoe" Gilmore doesn't exactly strike me as an honest business man. I'm pretty convinced Fry and Bender never saw one cent of those money. Either because of "unforseen expenses" or because they never bothered to get the deal in writing.

In theory an agreement is legally binding whether it's written or not, but then again in theory communism is a good economic system.

Edit: and my vote goes to Mom too. Sure the Wongs own half of Mars, but it's a dump. That's like saying you own half of New jersey.

[Reply #26 on:]

Yeah, I'd say Mom too.

   I went with Mom despite my previous statement. She blew her nose with a $300 bill! Come oooon

[Reply #28 on:]

I was gonna vote for the wongs, but mom does have a huge robot company, so yea, mom got my vote.

[Reply #29 on:]

In all honesty, I wouldn't be supprised if Fry and Bender have all that money in a mutual account that they've both forgotten about. Bender is happy so long as his booze and hooker supply is alright, and Fry just really is that stupid. It's just sitting there, quietly collecting interest. Most of it is probably loaned out to people by the bank, as that's how banks work.

Although, I suppose someone else might remember the poppler money.

Leela: "Fry, I need to upgrade the Planet Express ship from a dinky yet fast delivery ship into a state-of-the-art, military grade medium corvette with black market parts. For, um, reasons...
Can I have 400 million dollars?"

Fry: "What?! What could possibly make you think I have that much money?!"

Leela, with that "My God this guy is stupid" facial expression": You know, from all those popplers that got sold...?"

Fry: "Oh, yeah. Sure."

Man, I'd love to see the expression on the bank teller's face who Leela asks to cash THAT check!

[Reply #30 on:]

Mom not only owns a robot company, she owns the mega-huge delivery company that Planet Express competes with.

"Push the retaliate button!"
"Uhhhmmm...."
"Push any button! They all retaliate!"

Definately Mom
