I don't know if you watched the movie, but the Great Gatsby was literally flushing money down the toilet on a weekly basis throwing lavish parties for sycophants he didn't even know. All in the hope to catch the attention of Daisy, the love of his life he lost five years ago.
The prohibition being already over in the movie. As a former bootlegger, Gatsby probably struggled to keep his lifestyle with diminishing revenues.
Yes indeed! Without Money you're nobody. MONEY is in fact the best superpower ever. Since superpower is synonymous with superhero. I'm particularly interested in knowing more about Billionaire playboy genius philanthropist superheroes Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Iron Man (Tony Stark) net worth and entreprise revenues.
Tony Stark, otherwise known as Iron Man, narrowly edges out Wayne in the battle of billionaire playboys. Interestingly, while Forbes ranks Stark’s wealth ahead of Batman, the publication lists Stark Industries’ revenue ($20.3 billion) as less than that of Wayne Enterprises. Chalk it up to Wayne’s legendary philanthropy.
3. Bruce Wayne
Net Worth: $9.2 billion
Considering Bruce Wayne’s superpower is essentially “being rich enough to afford gadgets and karate training,” it makes sense that the Batman would be pretty loaded. Forbes estimates Wayne’s worth at $9.2 billion, and lists his company, Wayne Enterprises, as having an annual revenue of $31.3 billion.
Founded by merchant ancestors of Wayne family in the 17th century, Wayne Enterprises has grown to encompass defense technologies, petrochemicals and alien artifact retrieval. Profits up significantly due to sale of “Brother Eye” spy satellite technology to U.S. government. Majority stockholder Bruce Wayne subject of FBI investigation after top-secret military prototypes “lost” from company storage.
Stark Industries dominates headlines following alleged misdeeds of security personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan. Regardless, family controlled company saw sales surge thanks to contacts forged after Stark was appointed head of global law-enforcement unit S.H.I.E.L.D. New line of “Hulkbuster” armored suits won $6.2 billion Department of Defense contract.
