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.

That is really funny. I want to get the article. I should show this to my friend. I am surprised that they wrote about a characters wealth, rather than the actors wealth.

Haha...
Alright then! I thought they were talking about the guy who played Lucius in the films. I had no clue they were really talking about the real Lucius until I realized they were constantly talking about wizardry... That's still a classic article.
*thumbs up*

It is amazing how the Harry Potter world has infiltrated even to Forbes magazine! The article is pretty funny. Harry Potter, the boy that lived, is still famous all over the world.

That is such a weird article. I can't believe that a fiction character can even be on that countdown. The aricle is really, really weird. Why would Malfoy's stock go up if he is in jail and not doing anything, unless his family is doing something? I don't get it. Weird article (again said).

First Sports Illustrated made fun of quidditch, and now Forbes regarding a character's wealth! This shows Harry Potter's appeal and range.

Strange.. I wonder who comes up with these type of things. I'm surprised that the magazine printed something like that, I thought that it was for top business people? Then again I suppose the Harry Potter books are for all types of people.

I am not sure about hilarius! but it was interesting very well thought out and written. Clever the way ebay and walmart were tied into the wizarding world. I would like to have seen what other fictional characters were on the list.
