33+ Richest Anime Characters You're Bound To Come Across

First, having a substantial income might make you essential in most stories. And there have been plenty of rich characters in anime.

Who, though, is the richest? There must be real Monopoly men and women in the anime world.

Let’s use this list to determine that. Although some of the “greatest” Richie-Richers will appear higher on the list, they are not remarkably ranked by wealth. No matter where you were born, every one of us has our own set of unique experiences.

This fact contributes to the emotional relatability of particular persons (and characters) because the characters we adore and perceive from a distance reflect aspects of ourselves.

Of course, this is subjective. After all, you can only identify with someone based on your traits and life experiences.

1.) Maika Sakuranomiya (Blend S)

Even while Maika Sakuranomiya portrays her family in the Blend S anime as just typical, there are numerous signs that she comes from a wealthy background.

This notion of her entire family being wealthy is further supported by the appearance of her siblings dressed in posh kimonos. It makes perfect sense for Maika to go out so she may support herself and create money to pursue her dreams of travelling.

Not to mention studying abroad since she has grown weary of traditional Japanese culture. Maiki immerses herself in her unusual position at Café Stile to fundraise for herself and pursue her aspirations.

2.) Lucy Heartfilia (FairyTail)

The magnitude of the family’s wealth was not immediately made clear in the Fairy Tail anime, even though Lucy Heartfilia fled home as a teenager, disobeying her father and leaving him and the family’s money behind.

Even at one point, the Heartfilia family was regarded as the most powerful and affluent in all of Fiore. After Lucy’s mother passed away, her father, Jude, grew distant and demanding, which caused Lucy to leave the lavish Heartfilia estate.

Despite spending practically every moment with her new family at the Fairy Tail guild, Lucy left the opulent life behind. She will always harbour regrets over her strained connection with her father.

3.) Takumi Usui (Maid-Sama!)

Maid Sama! is an anime that, among other things, focuses on love and secrets. Takumi Usui has a secret, much as Misaki Ayuzawa does, concerning his employment at a maid café.

In the anime, there are rumours about Takumi’s personal life, and it is implied that he is wealthy. However, it turns out that he is an illegitimate kid of a British family when he eventually feels secure enough with Misaki to disclose it.

Takumi receives financial assistance from his English grandfather and the rest of the family since they don’t want him to work odd jobs and expose his secret. They also pay for his tuition and comfortable housing.

4.) Hikaru Hitachiin (Ouran High School Host Club)

One-half of the Hitachiin twins, who are the beneficiaries of a sizable fortune in the fashion industry, is Hikaru Hitachiin.

Like his brother Kaoru, Hikaru prefers to keep a distance from most of society, but he has found a place to call home in Tamaki’s zany Host Club.

Although both twins are naughty and lively, Hikaru is a little more assertive and forward-thinking. However, nobody seems aware of this, and it’s often difficult to distinguish between the boys.

5.) Kaguya Shinomiya (Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War)

As it seems that her abundance was her most notable disaster, Kaguya speaks to the precise opposite of our previous choice. She is the daughter of arguably the most lavish man in Japan, whose entire wealth is estimated at least $4 billion under current laws.

Kaguya’s plenty, which is unusual for some others, can occasionally be seen as a fault because it has forced her to live a protected existence. In that position, Kaguya is incredibly inexperienced in many areas, so he occasionally loses his composure.

Additionally, throughout the entire series, such abundance proves to be a threat to her sentimental interest.

6.) Chika Fujiwara (Kaguya-sama: Love is war)

Chika comes from a political family and is the middle kid. Her ancestry is quite prestigious because her great-grandfather once served as prime minister, and her uncle is currently the rights minister.

Even though her family overprotects her, she was reared in a loving home and has developed into a wonderfully kind young woman.

She could not engage in activities like video games or possess anything supernatural, so she looked for alternative ways to pass the time and has amassed a variety of profound and unique hobbies.

7.) Saya Takagi (Highschool of the Dead)

The protagonist of Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure, Robert E. O. Speedwagon, is a hot-blooded, respectable road thug who eventually becomes a finance manager.

Robert became the author of the Speedwagon Foundation, a revolutionary and intriguing association with ties to the remarkable and secret universe. Speedwagon made the journey to America and made a fortune in the oil industry.

With the money he earned, he established the Speedwagon Foundation, an organization that focuses on clinical research, wild animal and plant insurance, and covertly, a Supernatural Research Department with the express purpose of aiding the Joestar Family.

8.) Mina Tepes (Dance In The Vampire Bund)

From my point of view, Mina is the vampire queen. No one is more obviously superior to her, and sure, Mina’s financial transactions surpass those of the wealthiest eminence.

It’s challenging to determine precisely how much money she has because she has to take care of the 40 trillion yen Japanese public obligation and pay for an entire island off the coast of Japan to serve as her vampire realm.

Additionally, her lavish lifestyle throughout the anime shows that she never runs out of money. There are many things about the undead’s way of life to be envious of.

9.) Seto Kaiba (Yu-Gi-Oh!)

Many people, from ardent anime fans to passive viewers, grew up with Yu-Gi-Oh. Most people will remember Seto Kaiba from the first season as a top duelist who was also envious because of his deck and influence in the gaming industry.

Although a tycoon is accepted and having your organization before graduating from secondary school also makes a difference, such an impact may come directly concerning his fundamental insight.

Fans also can’t complain about Kaiba’s abundance because he finally created the lifelike virtual experience of Duel Monsters.

10.) Kayaba Akihiko (Sword Art Online)

Since Akihiko created SAO, he was either extraordinarily wealthy and irrational or utterly unreliable in money. But Kayaba Akihiko was the only character in Sword Art Online whose appearance in the game didn’t match his avatar.

It is highly likely that he had some real money, to begin with.

11.) Rumiho Akiha Faris NyanNyan (Steins;Gate)

That isn’t as simple as you think. Our first indication of her affluence was the information she independently brought to their community. Faris has some real father money. It came with a lot of trouble, but the point is still valid.

We learn that her living situation is absurd through the optional sequence of events in which her father is still alive.

After that, there is some actual revenue because of her family area. Her name was thus added to this list.

12.) Kusuo Saiki (The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.)

If he had needed to, Kuusuke might have been the wealthiest man. Because he is the most brilliant innovator, this is the case.

Not to mention that he found a way to manage his brother’s power. But he also built several jetpacks, robot suits, and even a time machine at some point.

That is to say, at a certain point, he was sufficiently persuasive to start World War III. He isn’t just talking, then.

Although it’s not known precisely how much he earns at the end of the day.

13.) Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord)

This selection belongs in the “king” category. With all the unusual items, the money, and the burial chamber, I think it’s fair to say that Ainz is the most abundant being in his universe. However, it’s easier to discern how wealthy Ainz is.

This is because the rest of Ainz’s group are all NPCs specifically designed to be at his disposal, making the Great Tomb of Nazarick his property. The actual burial site is enormous, measuring about 200 meters across.

It also conveys a great deal of expensive loot.

14.) Bulma (Dragon Ball)

Dr. Briefs is the creator of capsule technology, which enables anything to be reduced in size and has made it feasible to take objects like cars in your pocket, for example. They own a total monopoly on the world capsule market due to their status as the creators of this technology.

It is never made clear how wealthy their family is. However, their house has an interior forest, and Bulma has, on occasion, constructed several interstellar spaceships for her friends while making no demands in return.

Bulma may be the wealthiest person on Earth, or any other planet, as the sole heir to her father’s intellectual and financial inheritance.

15.) Shoto Todoroki (My Hero Academia)

Shoto Todoroki is rich, and with his father being the World’s number 1 hero, it is clear that they’re filled with wealth. But despite being rich, Shoto is dealing with the trauma his father gave him in his childhood.

Also, he had to take care of his mom (mentally), and he’s trying to get back to her. Something that his father stole from him for a long time.

16.) Erina Nakiri (Shokugeki no Soma)

Erina, a member of the illustrious Nakiri family, was born with “God’s Tongue,” the supremely accurate ability to assess food quality. Since her talent became well known, most of her infant food was prepared by trained chefs to satisfy her extraordinary palate.

Erina and her Danish cousin Alice Nakiri, also a Nakiri family member, had some competition as a young girl.

Erina, who was 3 years old at the time, grabbed Alice’s toy from her and felt the cake Alice made for her 4th birthday tasted terrible, but she appreciated her thoughtfulness.

At this point, Hisako Arato, a young girl who vowed to devote her entire life to Erina, became a friend of hers.

17.) Sena Kasiwazaki (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai)

She is the first person to join the Neighbor’s Club and the daughter of St. Chronica’s Academy principal Tenma Kashiwazaki.

She is popular among male students thanks to her wealth, beauty, and exceptional academic and athletic performance.

Still, she is an outcast among the female students due to the same factors. She is surrounded by boys all the time, which she considers “doormats,” but she wants real friends, which leads her to join the Neighbor’s Club.

18.) Lala Satalin Deviluke (To LOVE-Ru)

The princess of the alien planet Deviluke is named Lala. It is easy to imagine that she is wealthy, given that she is the princess of an entire world. She was raised in a rich environment, but she has never let money take over her life despite this.

The series’ concept has Lala leaving her house to avoid the possibility of an arranged marriage. Lala is a brilliant inventor who can MacGyver just about anything, even without the money to buy what she needs.

If only such innovations would function as they were designed to.

19.) Roger Smith (The Big O)

Roger Smith is essentially Batman in anime. The people of his hometown, paradise city, were left with amnesia after a catastrophe 40 years ago.

When non-violent means of maintaining peace in the city fail, Roger, a negotiator, can call in a massive mecha known as The Big O to deal with his issues violently.

He makes enough money as a negotiator to maintain the enormous robot, a fine automobile, unique clothing, and pretty much anything else a wealthy person would have.

20.) Ciel Phantomhive (Kuroshitsuji)

After his parents were mysteriously murdered and the family mansion burned down, Ciel became the sole survivor of the Phantomhive name.

Despite these tragic events, he strengthened his family’s wealth and riches, taking up the title of the Queen’s Guard Dog by policing the criminal underworld in the process. However, most of his success can be attributed to his butler Sebastian rather than Ciel’s abilities.

21.) Sakyou (Yuu✩Yuu✩Hakusho)

Sakyou is a part of the Black Black Club, a group of the wealthiest and most influential persons in the world’s criminal underworld.

The group engages in high-stakes gambling in games that frequently feature demons and fights to the death because they are so affluent and have nothing better to do.

Over time, Sakyo manipulates his clubmates, eventually stealing all of their money during the Dark Tournament (a martial arts tournament between demon teams, with death battles).

22.) The F4 (Boys Over Flowers)

Eitoku Academy, a prep school for children of the ultra-elite, is featured in the film F4 Boys Over Flowers. The “Flower 4″—Tsukasa Domyoji, Rui Hanazawa, Sjir Nishikado, and Akira Mimasaka—are the wealthiest of these pupils.

The guys may do anything they want because every one of their parents has donated enough money to the school.

Even the other wealthy students at the school are lining up to lick the boots of these boys since they are so rich. But things shift when one girl, Tsukushi Makino, confronts F4 and demonstrates that bullying is not the only option.

23.) Kei Takishima (Special A)

In addition to being the best student in almost every subject, Kei is the son of the devilishly wealthy CEO of the Takishima Corporation. At one point, he makes the trade of a house for a blank check good for any sum.

Another rendition depicts the headquarters of his family as being many square miles large, just one of many houses the family owns.

Despite his enormous riches and intelligence, he can’t make Hikari, the second-best student in the school, aware of his emotions for her. Little rich man, remember to dream big.

24.) Daisuke Kambe (The Millionaire Detective – Balance: Unlimited)

Particularly for the title’s wealthy detective, The Millionaire Detective – Balance: Unlimited garnered buzz across social media channels. So it’s simple to include this series in this list.

Despite being referred to as a millionaire in the title, Daisuke likely has more money because he can give an Arab prince $1 billion immediately and yet have money left over.

This guy is on the verge of becoming powerful based on his financial resources, not to mention the size of his jet and his ability to repair any property damage he causes.

25.) Hanako Honda (Asobi Asobase)

The character’s financial situation is challenging, but it is reasonable to assume that Hanako’s family is wealthy. Most importantly, she has a butler who frequently visits this location.

We’ve now witnessed that Hanako can obtain whatever she asks for. Yes, even a fully functional robot. Furthermore, I’ll be damned if anyone who isn’t wealthy by at least $2 or $3 million can receive that care.

26.) Sinbad (Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic)

Whatever the case, Sinbad made it much more manageable. Being the head of the largest exchange organization in the world, he is both a lord and a money manager.

I have generally avoided rulers on this site because it is a dishonourable action. Furthermore, we typically cannot determine how much of the realm’s abundance belongs to them.

Again, if we compare it to the exchange titans of reality, we can estimate a monthly payback of at least two or three billion dollars. The dude also possesses a ton of valuable prison loot. He could not lose anything, no matter how hard he tried.

27.) Toichiro Suzuki (Mob Psycho 100)

I also have an excellent one-in-a-million chance of knowing him because he rarely straightforwardly showed his abundance. Nevertheless, we do have a few points of departure.

He begins by establishing Claw, an oppressor organization centered on the fear that was planned to take over the world. Since I questioned whether he would get government financing for such an errand, it should have all used cash.

Additionally, he stated that he has never regretted a single choice he has ever made, which is consistent with our second piece of evidence.

28.) Denki Kaminarimon (Boruto)

Even while introducing innovation into the Naruto universe has divided the general populace, one thing is sure: it made Denki’s family wealthy and handsome.

We never receive exact figures. However, it is claimed that the Leaf, along with other contemporary devices, unquestionably has an imposing business strategy.

The figures interacting with handheld video games, televisions, and other appliances should position them in the billions of dollars range.

29.) Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba)

Here we have yet another ruler of poverty to newfound fortune.

It was challenging to predict this one because Kazuma spends most of the arrangement working out and sleeping in an animal den. However, in keeping with his personality, he decided that no other isekai figure had ever made and sold many licenses for modern invention.

With pockets big enough to effectively buy Darkness, a respectable traveller, and provide Megumin extravagantly expensive toys to blow things up with, he became the most exorbitant traveller in Axel.

30.) Nagi Sanzenin (Hayata The Combat Butler)

Because of the size of the “Sanzenin fortune,” investing 20 trillion yen in a red herring is seen as a joke. Nagi was a child when she fell for that “prank,” but she is now 13 and much wiser.

The inheritance is not something she particularly wants.

The least of Nagi’s troubles, involving kidnappings and attempted assassinations, is that other people do desire that wealth and will use any means necessary to acquire it.

Hayate’s butler owes her money, so Hayate always protects Nagi from mishaps, abductions, and assassinations.

Nagi has had a crush on Hayate since she first met him in the kidnapping, even though he attempted to kidnap her for ransom money.

31.) Darkness (KonoSuba)

The revelation that Darkness was the daughter of a wealthy family of nobles, whose real name was Dustiness Ford Lalatina, was another amusing dimension introduced to this odd and hilarious character in the KonoSuba universe.

The real reason Darkness fled her family and looked for a group to join—crew Kazuma’s of misfits—is revealed to be that her father had tried to marry her off in arranged weddings repeatedly.

It is such an odd contrast to observe Darkness’s crass and masochistic impulses while in a formal and noble atmosphere whenever the gang visits her home or gets a glance into her other life.

32.) Kuranosuke Koibuchi (Princess Jellyfish)

The anime version of Princess Jellyfish, originally a manga series, had a reasonably straightforward plot centered on a female-only apartment complex.

The main character Tsukimi Kurashita meets the transgender Kuranosuke Koibuchi there, and she subsequently has to keep all of his secrets hidden from the man-hating housemates.

By using the moniker “Kurako,” Kuranosuke not only conceals the fact that he is a man but also uses it to distance himself from his family life. Although he comes from a wealthy political family, he has no interest in politics and prefers fashion.

33.) Taiga Aisaka (Toradora)

In Toradora, Taiga Aisaka comes out as a chaotic, headstrong, short girl that makes many people dread her or, at the very least, know to get out of her way.

Taiga has moved out and is no longer living with her parents, giving Ryuuji Takasu an idea of her living condition.

She is claimed to still receive monthly support from her father for her rent-free apartment, but because of her background in a wealthy family and her lack of domestic skills, she is forced to rely on Ryuuji.
