I was tempted to post at the Quark's Forums rather than here at Ten Forward for a little light-heartedness, but I'm sure admins would move it because it's not financially-productive.  But it's business-related, no?

Santa Claus does not report his income, due to tax evasion purposes.

Hey!  Lex Luthor is richer than Batman??!  Oh, no!

Hey!  Lex Luthor is richer than Batman??!  Oh, no!

Hey, what about Professor Xavier, that guy keeps a 2-3 Billion dollar Jet (at least, it seems he upgraded the blackbird from it's original form) under his basket ball court!!!

He has to have some mega cash if he has the money not only to have one of those, but also to replace it every so many months after it get's devastated in some unearthly disaster (and seeing how I can already hear his explanation of that to an insurance company, I can guarantee he's not insured by them but must be self insured).  He throws money left and right like there's no end to it...he HAS to be loaded.
