虚拟人物富豪榜：唐老鸭舅舅最有钱 难度：适中 来源：Forbes 评论：3 You’re not imagining it: The rich do keep getting richer. Even the fictionally rich. 你不会想到：富人会越来越富有，即使是虚拟人物也是这样。 Each year Forbes calculates the net worth of the wealthiest characters from novels, movies, television and games, constructing portfolios based on those stories, and valuing them using real-world commodity and share prices. This time around, theaggregate net worth of the Fictional 15 climbed 3% to $215.8 billion. That’s more than the gross domestic product of Ireland. 每年，《福布斯》都会选出小说、影视、游戏作品中最富有的人物，计算他们的净资产，根据故事情节确定他们的投资组合。每位虚拟人物身家的估值都依据现实世界中的大宗商品和股票价格来计算。今年的福布斯虚拟人物富豪榜，15位上榜者的净资产总较去年增长了3%，达到2,158亿美元。这比爱尔兰的国内生产总值还要多。 On the top of the list this year: Scrooge McDuck, the billionaire bird who keeps most of his $65.4 billion fortune in gold coins, piled high inside a Duckburg money bin. The world’s richest duck started out in business when he was “just a wee nipper,” polishing boots on the streets of his native Glasgow; today he owns some of the world’s largest mining concerns.

But “Smaug the Tremendous” has been pushed into the limelight of late, after agreeing to appear in Peter Jackson’s trilogy of Hobbit films; now he spends his days in Hollywood’s exclusive Chateau Marmont. 位居第二的是深居简出的红金色巨龙史矛革，千百年来一直幽居于孤山的洞穴里，盘踞在一堆价值541亿美元的宝藏上。但是巨龙史矛革最近风光无限，自从它同意在彼得-杰克逊的《霍比特人》三部曲中出镜后，便开始大受瞩目。如今，他每天都待在好莱坞专属的马尔蒙庄园酒店里，养尊处优。 Other rich list perennials include the billionaire playboy Tony Stark. An engineering genius who earned two master’s degrees by age 19, Stark’s remarkable inventions (including the “Iron Man” combat armor) are often
