`Daddy' Warbucks On Top Of The Rich List

So you want to know who the world's richest fictional characters are? Look no further than the recent list released by Forbes.com with Oliver ``Daddy'' Warbucks replacing Santa Claus (No.1 in 2005) at the top of the list. Warbucks is, of course, from the comic strip `Orphan Annie' and is rarely seen in public without his bodyguards Punjab and Asp. At No. 2 on the list is the dastardly Montgomery Burns, followed by Scrooge McDuck, Richie Rich and Jed Clampett to round off the top 5. At No.9, one spot above Thurston Howell III is Prince Abakaliki of Nigeria. Never heard of him? Then chances are, you're one of a handful of people in the world never to receive an email from him, seeking to share his inherited millions with you. Ring a bell?
