    From your list, Dr. Doom is the dictator of a country in Eastern Europe, so I'd say that he's richest.

    There are rulers of huge space empires that would probably be considered comic book villains and would certainly be above Doom.

    true, but bill gates is worth more than most, if not all, dictators. let's keep the list terrestrial.

    Dr. Doom is probably accurate. As for non rulers, Bruce Wayne I think was established as the wealthiest. I think Tony Stark was established at $3 billion net worth and Wayne was $6 billion.

    According to Forbes' list, the answer (for comic book characters) is Lex Luthor with $10.1 billion.

    That's true. I completely missed the hero part. I'd say that the Black Panther is probably richer since he owns the only source of vibranium in the world.

    Ra's Al Ghul is immortal, so that kinda gives him a leg up on the other comic book characters when it comes to accumulating wealth.

    Doom has not only the country of Latveria, but an entire second Earth under his control/ownership. For a terrestrial character, he is number one.
