Gringotts and Lucius Malfoy Worth Billions Says Muggle Magazine Forbes
HumorForbes has now published their annual list of the wealthiest fictional characters, and coming in at number 14 is a Wizard of wealth and taste: Lucius Malfoy. In this very funny (and spoiler filled) writeup which you can read below, the dashing Death Eater with a wealth of 1.6 billion, has apparently been wreaking havoc with the Wizard Stock Exchange this year. Shocking, we know. ;)
On a related note, Forbes has also posted the 25 Largest Fictional Companies, with Wizarding Financial Institution Gringotts coming in at number 22. Under the command of CEO Borgnuk and headquarters apparently in London, England, the wizarding bank run by the Goblins did $4.4 billion in business this year. To read both of these articles, please scroll down. Enjoy!
Thanks much Mari!

#14 Malfoy, Lucius
Net Worth: $1.6 billion
Source: Inheritance
Age: 51
Marital Status: Married
Hometown: Wiltshire, England
Education: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Patriarch of ancient wizarding family still standing after defeat of Dark Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Malfoy, himself a convicted criminal and Azkaban prison escapee, miraculously managed to avoid being sent back to jail thanks to well-timed “donations” to charities supported by influential Ministry of Magic employees. Now reunited with family and unfettered by criminal charges, Malfoy is aggressively pursuing new business enterprises. In June, attempted to corner the global cauldron market. In August, sold short more than $1 billion worth of Galleons, forcing Gringotts Bank to devalue and withdraw the currency from the Wizardly Exchange Rate Mechanism. Member since 2005.
#22 Gringotts
Headquarters: London, England
Industry: Financial Services
CEO: Borgnuk
Est. 2007 sales: $4.4 billion
Reputation of Goblin bank left in tatters after successful break-in and burglary from one of its most highly secured vaults. Revelations that the theft was masterminded by Harry Potter (a.k.a. “The Boy Who Lived”) fail to reassure customers concerned that the bank’s much-ballyhooed security was compromised by mere children. Featured in Harry Potter.

is the info just gathered from canon or do they make-up some….like the amount lucius supposedly made this year? etc etc..teehee its funny though!
No idea what half of that money stuff is on about (‘devalue and withdraw the currency’ ? o_o;; ) but it sounds funny none the less! xDDD
Thats cool. I am always amazed how Harry Potter is mentioned everywhere. It makes me like it even more!
PS. my entire Christmas list is HP stuff!

LOL the stuff about Gringotts is hilarious! But I didn’t know that stuff about the Malfoy’s lol
is this stuff canon or did they make it up I think they made it up
There’s no way he’s worth that much money. He would have had his assets stripped from him post-war and deservedly so since he’s a war criminal!
@moody! and spencer:
“Is this stuff cannon, or did they make it up?” WHO CARES!” It’s hilarious, and fun! LOL!!!
That Gringotts break in (assuming they’re talking about the one in DH26) happened nearly ten years ago (spring of 1998, according to the book). They can’t really believe that the bank would STILL be struggling a decade later, can they?
lol, “We reserve the right to bend or break any of our own rules” you got to love it rotflmao

He is so not 51 to me! Never! Maybe 40, but 51?! XD
Hot and loaded!!
I agree lizetm. Jason Isaacs doesnt look 51 – unless he has been going to the wizard gym alot and is a very well preserved 51.
What about Harry? He got an inheritance from his parents and one from Sirius. His dad and Sirius were both from “old wizarding families” so I wonder how much he’s worth as an adult.
