In the real world, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are regarded as the richest men on Earth. However, in the fictional universe of cinema, there have been several individuals way richer than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. MCU and DCU are the two dominant superhero universes and have featured some super-rich superheroes. While Batman and Aquaman are the super-rich superheroes in DCU, Iron Man and Professor X are super-rich in the MCU. Well, there is a King who is way richer than all these super-rich superheroes and it is not Thor- The God of Thunder or Aquaman- The King of Atlantis.

Super-Rich Superheroes
It completely depends on the writer who presents the superhero in which format. Over the years, Bruce Wayne aka Batman's net worth has varied from $1 million to $80 billion. Meanwhile, MSN estimated Batman's net worth at $9.2 billion and Tony Stark aka Iron Man's net worth at $12.4 billion in 2024. Meanwhile, Professor X's net worth in the films has been estimated to be around $3.5 billion.
By that metric, the King of Wakanda, T'Challa aka The Black Panther reigns supreme among all the superheroes of DCU and MCU. The MCU depicts T'Challa as the ruler of Wakanda, which holds the entire world's reserve of most precious metal vibranium. This estimates that the personal wealth of the King of Wakanda in the films is $500 billion, which is far more than Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. Surprisingly, in some comic books, T'Challa's net worth has been estimated at $90 trillion, which makes him the richest than the rest of the world combined.
Well, supervillains of both the superhero universes seem to be more lucrative. However, they are no match for T'Challa. While Victor Von Doom aka Dr Doom's net worth is $100 billion, Lex Luthor's estimated net worth is $75 billion.
