The wealth of fictional characters under consideration for the list was calculated by combining the fictional source texts with real-world information about stock and commodity prices.[1][4][5][6] As wealthy as the fictional characters on the list have been, their wealth has historically been exceeded by that of real-world billionaires such as Bill Gates and Carlos Slim.[4][6]
