Uncle Scrooge
Uncle Scrooge is a Disney cartoon character—a wealthy, miserly duck who hoards gold coins in a massive vault.
Created in 1947, he became the richest fictional character in popular culture.
The name alludes to Dickens's Ebenezer Scrooge, though Uncle Scrooge is more adventurous than villainous: He dove into his money bin like Uncle Scrooge.
The character represents extreme wealth combined with penny-pinching thrift.
