Text reads "This is Smaug, the dragon from the Hobbit. Smaug famously stole a mountain full of gold. So full that he sleeps buried under gold. We're talking literally tons and tons of gold by weight.

Forbes tracks Smaug as the second wealthiest fictional character. He had been first, but the price of gold took a tumble more his vast, overwhelming fortune is only worth $51,400,00 0,000.00. Or $51.4 billion.

That means EVEN THOUGH he has an ENTIRE MOUNTAIN full of almost nothing but solid gold , Smaug would be ranked at the FIFTEENTH wealthiest American.

Fourteen Americans have more money than a gold-hoarding dragon.

Please consider that next time you say deca-billionaores deserve their wealth and shouldn't pay their employees livable wages.
