"Where you see an old barn, I see a business with a turnover of a million dollars!" Scrooge McDuck
I personally, because of my modest age, you know Scrooge McDuck in the animated series "ducktales", but it turns out he, long before his film career, was a character in the comics.
What we know about him?
In origin, we can judge by his name, he's a Scot. He was born in Glasgow. He has a nephew Donald Duck. He is also the great-uncle of ducklings Willie, Billy and Dilley. His first salary was 10 cents. He earned it in my childhood when I cleaned the boots of any American. This fee seemed too small. Besides, in Scotland he could not buy on American coin. Then he had the idea of emigration. He has not received higher education, but always distinguished by a sharp mind, curiosity, and perseverance. His dime Scrooge kept as the most cherished trophy in his store and believed that she brings him luck. This duck knows a lot about money.
Scrooge McDuck still the same greedy))) As himself said Scrooge, "be greedy!" Maybe it's not the best advice, but it works. But greed and avarice are nothing compared to his love for his family and his friends. He is sooooo hard working, it also requires from all others.
When Scrooge came to America first capital he earned, working as a prospector during the gold rush. Becoming very rich, he bought the airline, Navy, Bank, oil businesses and light industry. By the way, our duck is very influential duck. In one of the series mentioned that he could call the President of the United States and to dismiss the Admiral of the Navy. Maybe if this series was shot now, Scrooge would have called for President Donald))))
To keep their wealth from uncle Scrooge has his store. It is very reliable and well protected from the brothers Gavs! He lives in his luxurious estate in the city of Duckburg. State McDuck is one of multiplizieren nine absquatulation six hundred twenty-three dollars and sixty-two cents. How many do you have?)))
Now Scrooge McDuck tops the list of Forbes. He's the richest fictional character in the world. According to 2013, his fortune was estimated at 65.4 billion dollars. In the first list 2002 Scrooge was only on the 4th place with a fortune of 8.2 billion dollars. Here's how profitable to keep savings in gold!
Our uncle Scrooge tries to remain within the law and fair rules. His motto is "Work head, not your hands!". Among its qualities, it is worth noting the cynicism, prudence, love of manipulation and opportunism. As we remember, not always of good fortune, often he lost his wealth, but always it returned. He should learn how not to give up and be optimistic. His favorite book is "treasure Island" (I also adored her as a child!). Scrooge loves adventure and quickly goes in search of the next treasure.
Our hero refers to fictional characters, created by Walt disney. Walt Disney was a good friend of Henry Ford. It was for him and invented this character. Henry Ford was a smart, enterprising man, but others saw him eccentric and strange. About him were a lot of jokes and anecdotes. Then Walt Disney decided to come up with a character and releasing comics for the plots of these stories. Unfortunately, Henry Ford did not live to see the release of the comics, but we got an unforgettable character Scrooge McDuck, which to this day, gives us lessons of life and business!
