that it couldn't. He and his parents, Richard and Regina Rich,

general nemesis was his snobby cousin Reggie Van Dough.
Richie Rich and his supporting cast were the stars of numerous
comic titles over the years. He was also the star of his own
Saturday morning cartoon in the early 80's. Richie Rich
was also the subject of a live action movie in 1994 starring
the poster child for spoiled little rich kids, Macaulay Culkin.
