Disney boasts a ton of classic franchises, but one of the best will always be DUCKTALES. I mean it created the childhood fantasy of swimming through a literal pool of GOLD! But one thing has always troubled me. Just how rich is Scrooge McDuck? Well buckle up, Theorists, because after days of research, hours of math, and a few good refreshing swims in the old money bin I have finally discovered the answer!

It's actually simple.
Someone: "Okay so how much money do you have?"
Scrooge: "Yes"

In a comic Scrooge says he was losing 1 billion a second and at that rate he’d be broke in 600 years. Doing that math Thats $18, 921, 600, 000, 000, 000, 000

I remember in an episode where scrooge mentioned that the bin money was literally his "petty cash" and that the bulk of his wealth is in banks and investments. Keeping the bin was just a plaything to him and a physical monument to his wealth.

Bro the fact that matpat was trying to earn Disney's approval in this episode shows that times have changed

[nrdalrt]

Can we all just take a moment and appreciate how much work MatPat puts into these theories
EDIT: WHY ARE THERE 10K LIKES ON THIS?!

[sarahcreates]

MatPat must’ve been the best at “show your working” questions.

[skittles_]

I swear this show gives me a better education than my school does.

Don Rosa who made the plans of the vault is the person the most invested in the lore of this world; he wrote the childhood of scrooge and made many very interesting comics about the lore

*Bill Gates, Bruce Wayne & Tony Stark talking about how rich they are*

*Scrooge appearing behind them*
_perish_

More important theory: how does scrooge mcduck swim through all that gold and swimming through it without getting crushed under the massive weight

[xxechosongxx]

Jeff Benzos: “Ha I’m the richest man in history”

Scrouge: “Hold my Coins”

[DuckWithAMagnifyingGlass]

Let’s give a round of applause to Matt pat this actually broke him

[grueslayer]

I remember one comic where Uncle Scrooge gave Donald a bag of coins that he thought were worthless but Donald found out that the coins were super rare so Donald was getting rich selling the coins to coin shops. So of all the coins in the vault, the rarity of the bottom coins might up his wealth by significant amounts too.

Batman: I’m rich
Ironman: ha, I’m richer
Scrooge McDuck: try me you poor infantes

[stoopidboii]

Disney needs to give this guy a freaking award

[johnnyanderson-roblox]

This guy makes my math teachers look like street urchins who don't know how to add 1+1

[nekonanastudioa]

Poor poor matpat...and he STILL didn’t get Disney’s love.

You still have our love ❤️

[jackysbin]

Tony stark: I’m rich
Batman: Me too!
Bill gates: not a superhero but I am rich

Scrooge: pathetic

[Mr_Epic]

Something I recently noticed is that MatPat didn't account for the fact that when Scrooge is at the bottom of the money bin he is sitting down, but he could easily figure out the height of the money bin by the height of the newspaper Scrooge is reading.

Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne and Bill Gates: "We're rich"

Scrooge McDuck: "You fools don't even know the meaning of the word"
