Ulrik said:Yeah. (Except for Santa Claus perhaps.) They've completely neglected that he owns about half the world's businesses, in addition to having a big pile of gold to swim around in. That's just the coins he feels sentimental about
(Although, they can be excused for thinking otherwise. The source, the stories by Carl Barks, alternate between him having owning lots and having cash in banks all over the world, and being ruined every time someone empties the bin.)
Scrooge McDuck complains about being ruined if he loses a stamp. Don't listen to him - he is just being choleric to his nephew.
On another note: I've never seen an episode of Gilligan's Island but since every single American TV-show since have made references to it I'm pretty familiar with it anyways. Second hand exposure, you might say. Last night for example there was a rerun of Friends on TV and Joey has just bought a boat. Naturally he gets a captain's outfit and he asks Chandler if he has seen Phoebe or some one. Chandler replies: "No I was busy making a coconut phone with the Professor-" Of course this was totally lost on the sub-title translator but I got the joke (from watching Sabrina Teenage Witch).
