Burns' Money

Has it ever been mentioned how Burns became rich enough to have a power plant? -Bob

In the Bobo episode, he is adopted by wealthy people. Leaving Bobo behind in the process. In the episode with Homer's mom on the lam, we see that Burns was doing some kind of military research in the 1960s.

I appreciate the help. -Bob

Well we saw him as a child with Bobo, and already he came from a wealthy family. So he must have inherited a lot. What did he do before the power plant? I think it was mentioned somewhere...

Man 1: Excuse me, we wanted to see the geek who valued the happiness of his children more than money. Homer: [unenthused] Right here. Man 2: Aw, you said his head was the size of a baseball. Homer: Oh, my life can't get any worse. Smithers: [over the intercom] Homer Simpson, report for much worse duty. Homer: D'oh!

Actually, I saw the answer last night. In 9F15 "Last Exit to Springfield" Mr. Burns flashbacks to his childhood, with his father owning a nuclear power plant ("Smash those atoms!"), so my guess would be he inherited it.

Burns inherited that old atom smashing facility and single-handedly turned it into a first-rate nuclear energy production facility.
