Here’s how we know that Black Panther is much richer than Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark

Disney

• There’s a case to be made that Black Panther might be richer than the characters Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark. 
• T’Challa — Black Panther — is king of the state of Wakanda, one of the most technologically advanced nations in the Marvel Universe. 
• The mineral wealth of the fictional country alone would be worth more than than GDP of the entire real world — and more than the worth of Batman or Ironman.

When Black Panther debuts this Friday, audiences will get an introduction to one of Marvel’s coolest superheroes. But while the film will undoubtedly show off the T’Challa’s super powers—acute senses, super strength, all-around bad-guy pounding skills—it’s unlikely to dwell on his other special ability: being very, very rich.

In fact, there’s a case to be made that Black Panther is the richest super hero of all time. That may come as a surprise considering Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark’s entire brand is built around being one-percenters. But while Wayne and Stark may be titans of industry, T’Challa is the king of an entire country. And not just any country. The Black Panther’s home of state of Wakanda, located in East Africa, is one of the most technologically advanced nations in the Marvel Universe. As Wakanda’s leader, T’Challa is effectively in control of his homeland’s resources.
