Scrooge McDuck is famously recognized as the richest duck in the world. Although estimates of the sum of Scrooge’s wealth has been disputed, the most generous estimate in The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck puts his earnings at five multiplujillion, nine impossibidillion, seven fantasticatrillion dollars and sixteen cents. With this type of money he has become the richest and most influential member of The Billionaires Club of Duckburg and has allowed him to fill a vault with gold coins for him to dive into like a porpoise, but how did this old duck earn his lavish fortune?
I post every Tuesday and Thursday, so check back then for more Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and movie videos! If you have any questions about the Disney universe that you would want answered in a video, please ask away in the comment section!

One point that you missed is that Scrooge didn't immediately go and get rich in the Klondike gold rush. He wandered the word for nearly 20 years before he finally struck rich in Klondike. I think that's an important part about his journey, since it establishes how Scrooge didn't just get lucky, but made his fortune through hard work and never giving up.
That would’ve been a really important part of the story 😂
eat clen
tren hard
anavar give up
who else wanted to dive into a pool of money as a kid?
Skatman irl ha still do 😂
Skatman irl me and i still do
I think I would prefer dollar bills over the coins! Thanks for watching!
Friend of mines parents filled their above ground lap pool up with gold chocolate coins for their birthday. The pictures I saw were great. The even sent all the kids and their parents home with money bags filled with the same coins. He brought a few to school to share with every one! That was so cool.
The coins would hurt and bills could give you papercuts. I'm not sure if I would.
One of the best things about life and times is that it's not just about the riches Scrooge accquires. As he himself says, he spent 20 long years after he first left Scotland searching for a way to become rich until he found his first wealth in White Agony Creek.
Scrooge is one of my favorites in the Duck Family!
He didn't work hard, he worked SMART.
He did both. Yes, he was smart in his work, but he put in the effort to get his money
ooh look it!! an immigrant who came into this country for the American dream!! ;)
Yeah, except he worked for all this money, expecting no help. Now people (in general, yes there are exceptions) tend to just expect the world handed to them on a silver platter, whether they are immigrants or not, people expect to be given whatever they want, whenever they want.
Another Immigrant, commin' up from the bottom ;)
Nilsa Melendez whats your point?
@@WishPaintStudios HAMILTON!!!
@@epion660 He is just a symbol of American Dream more exactly illusion of a myth. In reality coming to USA and working there up to riches for most it was nightmare and hard work. Only second or third generation managed to get better positions in society. For first generation immigrants to get rich either has to be incredibly lucky, smart, cunning or heartless bastard in starting buisness or already coming from wealthy family. Besides starting from rock-bottom till getting rich is either trough criminal gangs, putting everything on very risky buisness being gold miner or trying to get government official positions and from there take big bribes.
Donald Trump WISHES he could be as rich and as smart as Scrooge 😂😂
Jesus Chavira too bad he won't be
heck i wish i could be as smart as scrooge, and as rich. If it were possible scrooge's wealth and influence might end world hunger, and i dare say the modern slave trade.
Jesus Chavira but probably not as friendly!! 😂😂
he must build a wall for his money
Rich:Maybe?
Smart:Fux No
You may have missed out that at some point, Scrooge did not gain all his fortune with honesty. In one of the comics, he hires a group of thugs to destroy a local village in Africa, possibly to get revenge on a witch doctor. During the that last issue before he became the billionaire, he became over protective of his fortune, bad tempered, foul mouthed and cynical towards people including his own family. There has been a few dark moments in the comics which show how Scrooge made his fortune and survived in a world of greedy corrupt people trying to steal his money.
Until a young Donald kicked him squarely in the rump, which was a catalyst to his change. When even a toddler thinks you're a jerk, it's time to reconsider your life.
Scrooge managed to protect his money from greedy people because he was more greedy and overprotective than them.
Yup. And one of those natives from the village he destroyed sent the original Bombi the Zombi to get Scrooge. The original Bombi was not hunting 'The Richest Duck'; it was after Scrooge, specifically.
I had some idea how he made all his money, having read at least 3 of the comics, but this definitely helped fill a few gaps! I also have a few suggestions on videos to do in the future: Anastasia, Bartok, Sing (haven't actually seen the movie yet but it definitely looks like something you could do a theory vid on, perhaps how it may connect with Zootopia?)
Could have gone more into depth with the Life and Times storyline there, it's actually super interesting... For example, the very first thing he did in America was sail a riverboat with his uncle on the Mississippi. There's also the time he was chasing bandits in the badlands with Theodore Roosevelt... Or his time in Africa where he was infamous for taming lions and using them as his primary mode of transportation
I would love to buy as much chocolate as I could and I love Scrooge McDuck
He's a really fun guy! A lot of choclate would be pretty cool. Thanks for watching!
Wotso Videos Your welcome
Have you ever done a video on Wart/King Arthur? He's one of my favorite overlooked Disney characters. Unfortunately I haven't formulated any theories about him yet...
total·sax·sap I love him too! That wolf is a riot!
John Panda but you will get fat and explode
Nothing to do on Valentine's day, but if I could buy anything in the world, I would buy a "life" for my parents.
Small objection - Scrooge's problem with the dime wasn't that it was a piddly amount of money. Rather, he took exception to the payment because an American dime was all but unusable in 19th-century Glasgow. Not knowing that his father was behind it, he felt that he'd been stiffed.
I really hope the video creator learns that Ducktales is not canon.
I would buy tiny houses to give away to homeless people.
+Jennifer Campbell What an altruistic wish! Great choice! Thanks for watching!
Jennifer Campbell lols. I wonder where this idea came from? ;)
it would be better to start a business to give them work so they cold buy their own houses
THEY WILL SELL THERE TINY HOUSES FOR HUGE!!! CRACK!!! ROCKS!!! YOU! DUMBASS!!!
To avoid AR Cs problem, you should consider building a nonprofit transition housing system that you own and keep. The best way for it to work would be if you started a property management and construction firm, whose sole purpose was to build, maintain and offer studio sized properties to impoverished people as a transitioning house.
Install a form of voluntary rent, where each month you ask for a chunk of cash, which at the end of their time with your business, will all at once be given back to them to use to buy a property of their own. Successfully transitioning the homeless and impoverished up to the low-middle class.
You could work alongside career advisor groups to help find these people good work to do and build up their resumes. I know of a few places in San Francisco which do this with apartments but I haven't seen one who purpose builds places. I think it may be overall cheaper in the long term to maintain, though I have nothing to back that up other than basic property costs.
You can get some initial money together to buy some acre of land and build a small place on it for maybe, what.. 50k maybe? More research will be needed from your local area land and material costs. A home equity loan might cover it if you own a place. Otherwise you'll need to try and fish around for a philanthropic investor, which will be easier to find in the city if you're there. Just need to know where to look. I can probably pull up a few books on finding and talking to investors if you're interested in pressing.
The majority of your business model will be built on the back of donations from those who want to help from what I know of similar projects. However it is very possible. Capitalism tends to reward those who help others.
I enjoyed watching Ducktales as a kid, because I dreamed of living like him, but with a family.
Omg, omg, OMG, I LIVE IN GLASGOW SCOTLAND!!!!!
Wow! That's awesome!! Thanks for watching!
Wotso Videos love the channel
Huh. Didn't know any of this at all. It really makes me wonder how they will update this backstory for that Ducktales reboot coming out later on this year.
Yeah it will be interesting to see what they do! Thanks for watching!
I like McDuck as one of my personal favorites since "Mickey's Christmas Carol". His drive to work hard and not settle for anything less than what's fair is admirable, to say the least. If I had his type of fortune, I'd help out my family and friends and benefit the world before I settle down in a mansion at Golden Oak at Walt Disney World.
Yeah, it's my dream to become rich enough to not only have a nice house like that and help my family, but also if like to use my money to help out needy people... and also go on a lot of adventures like scrooge lol
Basically Andrew carnegie
Scrooge McDuck is my favorite character from the Duck universe. A true entrepreneur and a great role model. He´ll be celebrating his 70th birthday this year!
Scrooge is in his 80s. It's the comic that's 70.
Not only working harder but SMARTER than everyone else. That's important to add.
I always wondered how Scrooge McDuck made his billions. Very nice theory. And yes, I like the way he thinks.
Simple. By being smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies.
How he made his money………
*BY BEING TOUGHER THAN THE TOUGHIES AND SMARTER THAN THE SMARTIES*
And being sharper than the sharpees
In the US and Canada they are releasing something called
"Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Don Rosa Library"
They are worth their weight in gold, especially the "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck" and several(all) other stories after that.
I loved them as a kid and loved them even more as an adult.
Good to see the Life and Times explained. Though readint the book itself is a non comparable experience.
I need a rich relative like Scrooge McDuck. He'd at least give me advice on how to "work smarter, not harder".
In Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas, Scrooge said that he got rich because he was selfish.
Well that's true too. He wasn't a very conspicuous spender. He saved his money and was willing to do whatever it took to earn more. Thanks for watching!
Since the title card said "Scrooge's Money Explained" (and I missed the full title) I was hoping for a theory on how he can swim in it.
Cartoon logic!
i would buy a house in the woods with a husky, a siamese cat, and keep the money for my family (and buy a bunch of vat19 stuff)
I Love Good Old Scrooge McDuck,&,if I Could Buy Anything in The World,It'd be Xan's Diner,a Retro 50s Diner That my Mom,Dad,Sisters,&,Myself Used to go to When I Was a Little Kid
I love Scrooge McDuck. I had watched Duck Tales and a Christmas Carol as a kid. I never knew how he made his fortune though. This was a really interesting video 👍
As for what I would buy: a huge house for my mom, an art studio for myself and Six Flags!
I'm happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Can you please do a video on why Judy Hopps wanted to become a police officer so badly in Zootopia?
Wilfredo Rosario Yeah! :-)
+Wilfredo Rosario Great idea! I have a Zootopia I'm getting ready for this week but I want to do that one eventually. Thanks for watching!
this was an amazing videos really enjoyed it.you did wonderful I learn something new every time😊😊😊😊
I'm happy you were able to learn something. Thanks for the support! Thanks for watching!
Wotso Videos your so welcome these videos really open my eyes to all of my favorite Disney movies
0:54 Well, thats the son of Howard RockerDuck, John D. Rockerduck.
I wanna thank Tuomas Holopainen for making an album that turns Scrooge's life into a fantastical adventure and making the American Dream a beautiful opportunity
Guys scoorge youth story was amazing best part when he met his parents not knowing they are ghosts now 😂 and when remembered his journey at the end
go to Disney theme park in Florida, maybe go to Paris, France
I would buy everything on steam. Oh, and pretty much every game and console, but that's beside the point.
I would buy my dream house (not a mansion but a really nice house with marble floors, counters, and walls) and pay my car off completely.
'Embodies the American Dream', you say? That's explanation enough!
This is the newer, sanitized version. I'm pretty sure at least some of his original history involved a rubber tree plantation.
Not sure if you've done this yet, but have you ever considered covering the Pixar Theory? It's a big one
Scrooge McDuck is where my love of accents came from. It wasn't till I was older that I learned his voice was different because he's Scottish, but by that time my own "Scottish" accent was basically a rendition of his accent.
Made me sad when I learned Alan Young died. Although I am excited to see how David Tennant will take on the aging, lovable, selfish bagillionaire.
There's a A LOT of information missing here
-His time as the Mississippi king
-The silver mine he had for a moment
-That time he was a cowboy where he was known as Buck
among other things
Thanks for posting this!! Hard work and dedication!! 💪🏿💎💪🏿💎💪🏿💎
I actually have the book where alot of the pictures you used are from :)
Really? What is the name of it? Thanks for watching!
In Europe, they have released a series of collection which is called "Hall of Fame" specific to Disney author, in which several volumes are dedicated to Don Rosa stories.
However they are making an English series of compendiums which goes under.
"Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck: The Don Rosa Library "
There are several volums allready released and more to come.
I love you Scrooge McDuck!
Duck Tales and Tale Spin were the coolest cartoons!
thanks for this video, Isaac. Liked!
Can you so a theory about how Riley from Inside out is Bonnie's (from Toy Story 3) big sister
Interesting idea. I will have to look into that one. Thanks for watching!
He also embezzled Mickey Mouse out of house and home, but that's another story
it's cool how a couple of hours after you made this video ScrewAttack made a video about him too
Scrooge McDuck is my new hero
I was also so curious about him. If he's so rich, why was it that in some shows/ movies he did not appear so?
in some movies /shows he appeared in, he was not in his big beautiful mansion, he is in an entirely different house.
In my country, there was a satiric short story "Scrooge McDuck's Death" explaining Scrooge's wealth comes from his business and political role in Duckburg. Check "Kematian Paman Gober" on Google (in Indonesia, Gober is name for Scrooge, from Dagobert in Germany and Netherlands)
The story itself explained about Indonesian politics, people hoping for Soeharto's death. Lack of freedom of speech made the creator had to make it into a Scrooge fanfiction
2:35 Donald Duck's parents...lol
he knows that money can't buy happens
True. There's one thing Scrooge values more than money: Family.
A question to you who is reading this: I am curious. Scrooge McDuck and his nephews are called different names all over the world. How are they called in your country? In Germany Scrooge is Dagobert Duck and his Nephews are Tick, Trick and Track.
Bücherdrache In Italy Scrooge McDuck is called Paperone de Paperoni and the nephews are called Qui, Quo and Qua
In Spain uncle Scrooge is Tio Gilito and his Nephews and Juanito Jorgito and Juanito
Here in Finland, Scrooge McDuck is called Roope Ankka(=Duck), and nephews are Tupu, Hupu and Lupu. And I know you didn't ask this but Donald Duck is called Aku Ankka, and he's the most popular comic character in our country!
And now I have a mental image of Samurai Jack fighting Donald Duck...
In Indonesia, simply just transliteration of Dagobert = Gober Bebek (Bebek = duck)
Who remembers when he lost all his money in a race.
So no mention of the time when Scrooge burned down a native village and cheated them out of their land?
I read that issue. It was him at his very worst. Greed has its consequences.
I didn't know he was a Republican... :P
HORRIOR He was also punished by it since one of the survivors casted a curse which would make him being followed around by a ghost or something like that
I wood love to buy a pool filled with chocolate pudding
Can you make a video on the reboot of Scrooge and Goldie?
it would be cool if you revisited this video and made a comparison video or a parallel video with the 2017 ducktales reboot
I would buy more options
If my networth was the same as Scrooge's, I would spent it on improving developing countries.
A cubic acre would be something in the fifth dimension
Wouldn't diving into a pool of coins would be painful as hell. Especially head first lol. I never really thought about that until now haha :)
My 2nd favorite Disney character. My 1st Disney Character is Donald Duck.
I'm pretty sure you mean 'made' not 'make'.
So basically he was smart and frugal.
his greed caused the events of Toontown Online/Rewritten
Yeah baby!
Request video. Who is the little red haired girl in the peanuts movie ?
Who else was watching to try and copy how Scrooge got his fortune?
My fav. Duck
If I could buy something with that kind of money, I would buy...
1. Wii U system
2. A massage chair
3. Limo
4. Nintendo Switch
I like when you use so many Don Rosa comic stuff
Dive in pool of money? It would be painful
I feel sorry for his poor sister
When I would read The Duck Stories by Carl Barks, and in modern days by Don Rosa, to my kids, I would impress upon them how Scrooge comes to realize that family is the most important thing, even more so than money. When it comes down to it, he'll sacrifice for them. But that's not all. When someone has been loyal to him, he will return the loyalty and put their lives above his fortune (see North of the Yukon). And more, when he has inadvertently caused a misfortune, he will sacrifice his own well being to make things right (I don't remember the title, but in a space adventure, he accidentally drove away the only food supply of an aboriginal tribe, so he sacrificed a huge chunk of fortune to arrange for them to reach a plentiful land they could only see but were never able to reach before).
Could you do Ludwig Von Drake's full story??
I would buy all major companies who make food and pesticides and turn them into eco-friendly industries. and I would make a recycling factory to reduce the usage of fossil oil. also I'd try to hire as many people as possible... geez I'd do so much stuff!
Wow you know what.. Donald Duck and Scoorge McDuck and his nephews what if they got back in time on how They actually meet the young kid version of Scoorge plus his family too. It'll be called DuckTales Times of Fortune..
Who is Webbey, and why is she not as recognized and Donald's nephews?
His name is Dagobert Duck in Germany
0:50 thats John D. Rockerduck. Howard Rockerduck was his father.
Life time passes to Disney world.
I just like Scrooge and he's adventures
I’m pretty sure diving into a vault of gold coins wouldn’t feel very good
What, I'm not taking notes...
Scrooge McDuck is the antithesis To the billionaire persona.
You kinda skipped the part covered in the "Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck"
2:38 Donald's parents XD
If I had enough money to buy whatever I wanted, I would open my own animation studio and hire the best people to run the business side of things while I oversaw the creative side as Head Producer.
I want a catapult to fling cars in a lake while I'm standing on top of them
If I could buy anything in the world, I would buy Disney.
reboot very good
Awesome this was awesome
