Forbes has published a hilarious article
detailing the wealth of various fictional characters and Lucius Malfoy came in at #15.
Through brisk trading of Dark Arts artifacts on eBay to his stock holdings in Wal-Mart and Halliburton, Malfoy saw his fortune increase 30%, even while behind bars at Azkaban:
Much of Malfoy's gain can be attributed to surging commodities markets. The price of gold is at its highest level since 1987, up 16% since January alone. Malfoy's stores of gold galleons and silver sickles--among the purest mintings of those metals known--have appreciated significantly.
Despite these material gains, it’s clear Lucius' imprisonment has been personally painful. His wife, Narcissa, has reportedly begun making midnight visits to a "family friend," a tall, thin and greasy-haired professor at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And Draco, Lucius' only son, disappeared this year following the murder of Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore.
Thanks to TLC and those who sent this in.

Funny article but I doubt that Malfoy would have anything to do with Muggles...their money or not. But still good

This was really funny! I loved how Santa Claus' wealth was supposedly infinite, and Iwas surprised that they estimated Lucius' wealth at $900 million. A very funny and cleverly done article.

I love how they made a story about how Lucius invested in Walmart stocks! It's exactly the thing he would do, trying to exploit muggles. Like I said before, this is so funny!

Classic!
I must agree with Mad-Eye Moody though- they should all be turned into ferrets, would mean less trouble!
Hee hee- Voldemort the evil ferret!

An excellent article showing just how far the HP characters have infiltrated the common cultural pool. Nice one Forbes! I wonder if Willy Wonka is in the Fortune List... :)
