    Richie Rich debuted in 1950. $10 would be equivalent to $130 today. Those are some expensive overalls.

    Also $900 million would be like $11 billion. Pretty sure you can buy off politicians for way less.

        900 million can buy you almost entire legislature in any country easily. And I say almost assuming/hoping that a small percentage of politicians are not bribable.

          Corrupt officials can (theoretically) be ousted if the corruption comes to light. Spending more money to influence dopes to duly elect someone who will legislate against the dopes’ best interests is watertight.
