Richie Rich

Richie Rich is a fictional character published by Harvey Comics beginning in the 1950s. Known as the Poor little Rich Boy, or the Richest Kid in the World, Richie Rich appeared in several comic book titles in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Richie Rich Millions (1961) and Richie Rich Dollars & Cents (1963).

Richie is the only child of fantastically wealthy parents. He lives in an expansive mansion and owns at least two of everything money could buy. He appears to be around 7-10 years old, wears a waistcoat and blue shorts, and occasionally attends school.

In 1980, Richie Rich appeared in his own animated television series, sharing a timeslot with Scooby-Doo. In the animated version, Richie and his pals are somewhat older, around 12 years old. In the cartoon, Richie wears a red sweater with the letter "R" in front.

In 1994, a Richie Rich movie, starring Macaulay Culkin as the title character, was released.
