You’re not imagining it: The rich do keep getting richer. Even the fictionally rich. 你不会想到：富人会越来越富有，即使是虚拟人物也是这样。 Each year Forbes calculates the net worth of the wealthiest characters from novels, movies, television and games, constructing portfolios based on those stories, and valuing them using real-world commodity and share prices. This time around, the aggregate net worth of the Fictional 15 climbed 3% to $215.8 billion. That’s more than the gross domestic product of Ireland. 每年，《福布斯》都会选出小说、影视、游戏作品中最富有的人物，计算他们的净资产，根据故事情节确定他们的投资组合。每位虚拟人物身家的估值都依据现实世界中的大宗商品和股票价格来计算。今年的福布斯虚拟人物富豪榜，15位上榜者的净资产总较去年增长了3%，达到2,158亿美元。这比爱尔兰的国内生产总值还要多。 On the top of the list this year: Scrooge McDuck, the billionaire bird who keeps most of his $65.4 billion fortune in gold coins, piled high inside a Duckburg money bin. The world’s richest duck started out in business when he was “just a wee nipper,” polishing boots on the streets of his native Glasgow; today he owns some of the world’s largest mining concerns. Famously penny-pinching, Scrooge still has the first dime he ever earned. 今年高居榜首的是：史高治-麦克老鸭，这只身家654亿美元的老鸭子将大多数财富以金币的形式保存起来，高高地囤积在鸭堡的一个钱库里。作为世界上最富裕的鸭子，麦克老鸭当初起家的时候“还只是个毛头小子”，在家乡格拉斯哥的街头擦鞋。如今他拥有世界上最大的几座矿井。作为出了名的守财奴，麦克老鸭依然留着它当初挣来的第一枚一角硬币。 |
