There’s Always Money in the Banana Stand, Michael

Lucille Bluth, of the Bluth Company, rounds out Forbes magazine’s 15 richest individuals for 2009 fiscal year. Lucille #1 finally drank her way into the rankings by knocking off Jabba the Hutt and Mr. Monopoly. Rumors say husband, George Sr., is still pulling the strings from an undisclosed location, but Lucille #1 is the lady cashing the checks.

The honor of this year’s top earner belongs to that blond vampire daddy, Carlisle Cullen with an estimated take of $34.5 billion (although, I still think he looks like Mike Dexter from Can’t Hardly Wait). Perennial favorites, who again appear on this year’s line up include playboys Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, as well as “Texas tea” magnate, Jed Calmpett.

My greatest disappointment is that freakin’ Chuck Bass showed up on the list for the first time. Ben, my intern, however, actually squealed in celebration, like a 11 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert. Then he whispered, “XO-XO gossip girl” and tied a napkin around his neck. It’s Friday, so I didn’t ask (plus Mr. Howell ranked higher … so there’s that).

Here’s the complete list:

1. Carlisle Cullen – $34.5 billion

2. Scrooge McDuck – $33.5 billion

3. Richie Rich – $11.5 billion

4. Tony Stark – $8.8 billion

5. Jeb Clampett – $7.2 billion

6. Adrian Veidt – $7 billion

7. Bruce Wayne – $6.5 billion

8. The Tooth Fairy – $3.5 billion

9. Thurston Howell III – $2.1 billion

10. Sir Topham Hatt – $2 billion

11. Artemis Fowl – $1.9 billion

12. C. Montgomery Burns – $1.3 billion

13. Chuck Bass – $1.1 billion

14. Jay Gatsby – $1 billion

15. Lucille Bluth – $950 million
