 Carlisle topped the list last year. Thanks to BreakingDawnMovie for the bits about Carlisle. 

"I would've been #1 but I had to throw a very expensive wedding this year. Damn it Scrooge, I'm just a doctor"

And we're all aware of the 'very expensive wedding' he was referring to, his fictional son, Edward's marriage to the lovely Bella Swan. lol I'm sure Charlie helped out with a few thousands - its tradition anyway. lol

The Forbes Fictional 15:Carlisle Forbes 2nd Richest Man in Fiction

You’re not imagining it: The rich do keep getting richer. Even the fictionally rich.

The members of our 2011 list of wealthiest fictional characters have an average net worth of $9.7 billion, up 20% from last year. In aggregate, the Fictional 15 are worth $131.6 billion --more than the gross domestic product of New Zealand. To qualify for the Fictional 15, characters must be known, both within their fictional universe and by their audience, for being rich. Net worth estimates are based on an analysis of the fictional character's source material, and where possible, valued against known real-world commodity and share price movements. All figures are as of market close, April 1, 2011.



On top of the list is Scrooge McDuck, a billionaire bird known for storing a fortune in gold coins inside a massive Duckburg “money bin.” With the price of gold up more than 30% year over year, the quacking Croesus’ net worth soared to $44.1 billion. A self-made duck, “Uncle” Scrooge is well known for his penny-pinching ways: He once fought a bear over a $2 jar of honey, and still has the first dime he ever earned.

Profile

Immortal vampire, small town doctor and value investor said to be a huge fan of getrichslowly.org, a penny-pinching personal finance blog that extols the extraordinary power of compound interest. It's worked for Cullen: The fresh-faced 370-year-old undead monster amassed one of the largest fictional fortunes largely simply by banking a small amount of capital in 1670, and letting the interest accrue. Early investor in Wal-Mart, Google thanks to prescient advice from adoptive daughter Alice, who can see into the future. Featured in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels and films.

“Dr. Carlisle Cullen” The Richest Man in Fiction

For the second year running, Carlisle Cullen is the top of Forbes annual "Richest Fictional Character" list with a total fortune amounting an estimated (wait for it) $34.1 BILLION!

Forbes met (briefly) with Dr Cullen in an attempt to call him out on his multiple years dodging taxes:



FORKS, Wash. -- Those Goldman Sachs bankers taking home millions in bonuses could take a few lessons from the richest man in fiction, Dr. Carlisle Cullen. Unlike those bankers, Cullen has avoided populist ire by hiding his $34.1 billion personal fortune from charities, the I.R.S. and, until now, Forbes' intrepid imaginary billionaire hunters.

"It took you long enough to find me," Cullen, 370, said when approached at his home in Forks, Wash., before peeling off in his Mercedes S55 AMG. Sources tell us he is headed to Volterra, Italy, or possibly to Isle Esme, the private island he bought for his wife, Esme, just off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil...
