Ok since the release of both Ironman and Dark Knight this discussion has come up a few times w some of my friends:

Who is richer, Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne?

You may now discuss amongst yourselves

I would have added a poll but couldn't find the option.

Wayne, hands down. His company is an enterprise made up of lots of different fields. From what I know about Stark his industry heavily relies on weapons.

Ironman has a Audi R8, Batman has a Lambo...Lambos are my second favorite. But Ironman makes and sells bombs, big business.

Honestly I gotta say their equal lol

Bruce Wayne can just buy a resturant so his dates can swim naked in the pool. Even if Stark is richer, who cares?

Bruce Wayne off course. :P~ cos i don't know the other guy hhhhhhahahahahahaha

Bruce Wayne is old money while stark is new money.

In general I think new money guys are richer than old money but that's not always the case. It's sometimes just that they are flashier.

Bruce Wayne; worth ~6.8 billion
Tony Stark; worth ~3 billion

There's your answer. Bruce > Tony.

But then, Tony Stark may not be worth as much, but he's pretty cool.

Wayne is OLD money, hes so rich that the money handles itself.

- has Batcave
- can develop secret bat weapons...including artificial Kryptonite
- Invests into "moral" programs
- never been broke
- can buy literally anything he wants
- obsessed with crime, a full on psycho.

Stark has been broke so many times its not funny.

- has started from scratch many times
- does it himself, the money that he makes is due to his own genius
- makes his money immorally, sells weapon tech to terrorist companies (AIM...)
- has had his own space program, satellite, orbital factory
- blown them up.
- Alcoholic, obsessed with women.

hmmmm...i think Bruce is passively richer than Stark but should Stark need a certain amount of money he would get it, its just that making money gets in the way of Starks Iron Man hobby.

Did you miss my post? It's from Fortune magazine in an article they did, based on comics and such.

Sleeper Service · Jul 24, 2008, 09:31 AM // 09:31

yeah well how they came up with those arbitrary numbers i would like to know.

which eras Stark? and i can tell you those numbers are wrong right off the bat.

In ultimate Iron Man its stated that it costs a couple million (i forget the number) per minute of flight in the I.M. suit and that Stark Industries stock options vary on how well I.M. does in combat.

Accursed · Jul 24, 2008, 01:09 PM // 13:09

Stark > Wayne.

Iron Man is a perfect suit of mass destruction. Just having that is being richer than Batman.

imnotyourmother · Jul 24, 2008, 04:21 PM // 16:21

after reading it would be Bruce IMHO.

Dante the Warlord · Jul 25, 2008, 12:02 AM // 00:02

I think that Stark is probably richer. Im not even sure what Wayne does. But you can't really compare a Marvel Character and a DC character. They have totally different economies and (i know silly) the exchange rates could be different in each different "world". OMG i can't believe i said that... sits in the corner.
