The Forbes Fictional 15 is a list generated by Forbes magazine, that lists the 15 richest people in the realm of fiction. The members are characters from movies, books, cartoons and television. The current list was written in 2007.

To qualify for the list members must be "both fictional (in the sense that we excluded mythological and folkloric figures) and characters (meaning they are part of a narrative story or series of stories)." And of course, rich. The one exception to the rule was Santa, a mythological character, whom Forbes decided was an "irresistible" addition. Although, for the first time, he is absent from the current list. Forbes stated, "We still estimate Claus's net worth as infinite, but we excluded him from this year's rankings after being bombarded by letters from outraged children insisting that Claus is "real." We don't claim to have settled the ongoing controversy concerning Claus's existence, but after taking into account the physical evidence--toys delivered, milk and cookies devoured--we felt it was safer to remove him from consideration."
