Scrooge McDuck
Scrooge McDuck is a Disney cartoon character, an elderly duck who is the world's richest and most miserly billionaire.
Created in 1947 as Donald Duck's uncle, his name combines Dickens's Ebenezer Scrooge with the duck family.
He swims in money stored in his giant vault.
Used allusively for extreme wealth or penny-pinching: He guards his savings like Scrooge McDuck.
