C. Montgomery Burns on Forbes list

Yes, really. Burns is #11 on Forbes list of 15 richest fictional people. <http://www.forbes.com/2002/09/13/400fictional.html>

He's still not as popular as Adam Sandler, though.

This is a reply to news:aodrms$lha9a$[email], in which Alan Hamilton speculated:

Burns, C. Montgomery

Longtime dogged by charges of cutting corners on environment, worker safety. Remains unbowed. "If you can take advantage of a situation in some way, it's your duty as an American to do it." Bid for governor foiled after environmentalists claimed plant was mutating local wildlife. "What good is money if you can't inspire terror in your fellow man?" Prizes wardrobe of animal pelts, though greyhound fur tuxedo eluded him. Considers doughnuts "ethnic food." Member since 1989.

They did their research.

But he's real...or did I miss something here?
