My concerns here center on Santa Clause and Daddy Warbucks. In the case of Daddy Warbucks, how do we know how his forture survived the period between 193? and the present? There are way too many factore to consider here... the rise and fall and rise of realestate, the dot com boom...
In general, how do they compare fictional characters from different historical periods? Like I said, I think there are too many factors to even conslusively do this.
And in the case of Santa, how do we actually measure his wealth? He owns the means of production but he doesn't produce for profit. He's the could-be-but-isn't-quite capitalist Marx couldn't plan for! What do we do with him? Is he the richest or the poorest? Was the whole thing just a seasonal ploy to put Santa, the Judeo-Christian--maybe just American--idol on the top to increase holiday spending?
This seems like a really random list to me... I think we need to find out more about their methods... Humph.
