1. Black Panther (Tchallla)
Known as the ruler of Wakanda, Black Panther is seen as one of the richest Marvel heroes of all time. His wealth comes from the sale of vibranium (a rare fictional metal), and Wakanda is the only source of this vital resource.
So what’s unique about vibranium? For starters, it is more challenging than the strongest metal on the planet. It can also store and release incredible energy.
Thanks to these features, the world is willing to have vibranium at any cost. Due to the high demand, King Tchalla is worth about 500 billion dollars.
2. Namor the Submariner (Namor McKenzie)
Namor is the son of a human sea captain and the princess of Atlantis. As he became older, he became the ruler of the seas and controlled its vast resources. For this reason, he stands as one of the wealthiest characters to feature on a Marvel comic book.
After discovering a large Spanish treasure, he decided to launch his company – Oracle Inc. He uses this organisation to protect the interests of his underwater kingdom.
So what is the worth of the king of Atlantis? Estimates place his net worth at 300 billion dollars.
3. Black Bolt (Blackagar Boltagon)
Apart from having incredible powers that can destroy civilisations, Black Bolt has enough cash to throw around. He is the ruler of Atillan and controls the Terrigen crystals that give his people superpowers. If you want to place a number on his net worth, Black Bolt is valued at 250 billion dollars.

Playboy billionaire, Tony Stark is another wealthy superhero from the Marvel Universe. Known for his arrogance and a sharp mind, he inherited his wealth from his parents and heads Stark Enterprises.

5. Mr. Fantastic (Richard Reed)
Richard Reed leads the Fantastic Four and is one of the richest heroes of the Marvel Universe. Apart from saving the universe from evil, Mr. Fantastic also creates some of the impressive technology on the planet. His $12 billion net worth comes from patents made from his inventions.
