intersting how many of them are villains.....apparently being rich means you cant be a regular nice guy... (unless you're 10)

Hrm...

Bad guys: 2, 6, 7, 14
Good guys: 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15
Miserly types, curmudgeonly but not "bad guys": 1, 9
Unknown quantities: 4, 11

Looks like it does pay to be a good guy, really.

(I had to google to find Carter Pewterschmidt.)

Yeah, pretty sure that would be Mom from Futurama.

But who the heck is Princess Peach?

That almost has to be the "Mom" from Futurama ...

Mom Co.

Considering that Mom is about as old as Hubert Farnsworth (who is over a 150), then that is the same Mom. However, to be geeky in corrections it should be New New York, not New York.

I think she is worth more than Scrooge McDuck though.
