Hey $ean Eldridge, are you richer than Iron Man?

April 30, 2014

A lot of digital ink has been spilled writing about Chris Hughes’s and Sean Eldridge’s net worth, but we still don’t have a definitive number. We’ve seen $1.6 billion, $935 million, $850 million, and $700 million.

So in an effort to try and find out what $ean’s net worth actually is, we figured we’d see if he would engage in a little game called: Hey $ean Eldridge, are you richer than (insert fictional character here)? We ask $ean if he is as rich as 7 fictional characters whose net worth has been estimated by Forbes Magazine. If $ean merely answers our questions, we can figure out the rest.

Let’s play!

1. Hey $ean Eldridge, are you richer than Forrest Gump?

4. Hey $ean Eldridge, are your richer than Montgomery Burns?

The owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power plant would be envious of Eldridge’s ambitious plan to buy a seat in Congress, but with a net worth of $1.5 billion would Burns be envying Eldridge’s wealth or vice-versa?

7. Hey $ean Eldridge, are you richer than Tony Stark?

Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, is worth $12.4 billion. If Sean Eldridge is richer than that, he needs to stop running for Congress, build a few suit, and join the Avengers for crying out loud!
