Who is richer?

Who is richer? Bulma or Mr.Satan?

[B]

If we choose to use real world logic, an owner of a major corporation probably makes more money than a single professional athlete.

[TheGmGoken]

I think Bulma. Capsule corps is an ever forever business. Satan is a fighting champion but soon his days are up. Once the happen he can retire with the millions of cash BUT Capsule Corps owned by Breifs is going to ever expand and Bulma even when she's 88 is going to be making that green drug called Money. Her son Trunks is always going to work there so that's a MAJOR help to her profit as well.

Since Satan has a similar following in DB as "Faces of WWE's different eras(Before known as WWF)" I'll use this as an example. Sergey Brin and Larry Page(Co founders of Google) by themsevlesmake more money than Hulk Hogan, Austin, The Rock, and John Cena. Since Google is a ever expanding company(*Cough Google +) while 2/4 of these wrestlers aren't doing anything Major at the moment(Hogan still wrestles....eww, Austin is being Austin,) and the other 2 aren't making more money(Rock movies and Cena WWE)

Trying to determine an answer by making comparisons between Mark and any real world athlete or celebrity is unlikely to get us anywhere, because he's not like any of them. He isn't just a champion of the Tenkaichi Budokai who has regular endorsements and various product brands, he's also convinced the entire population that he's saved their planet more than once. Who knows where that gets someone financially...

I will agree that it's most probably the Capsule Corporation family that is raking in more money, but I could be wrong. Goku does suggest getting Mr. Satan to give Uub money for his village at the end of the manga, not Bluma. This could just be because the man is already supporting his entire family after Gohan and Videl's marriage, but it could be taken as a sign that he actually has more money than them.

Who knows.

I think the series places more emphasis on Satan's wealth than Bulma's, one example being pointed out by TheDevilsCorpse, and so I do believe that Satan might be wealthier than Bulma. But then, isn't Dr Brief still in charge, not Bulma? Maybe he's richer than either of them and just a scrooge.

Bulma's richer, but Mr. Satan's more famous.

[Hearts]

Take the wealthiest athlete in the world and multiply it by 10 and compare it with Bill Gates..
So Michael Jordans 650 million gets him to 6.5 billion, Bill gates has like 5 times more than that so I would say Bulma

Again, Mr. Satan's circumstances shouldn't be measured against regular people. He isn't just the wealthiest athlete in the Dragon World, he's the "savior" of everyone on the planet twice over. The only thing that has Micheal Jordan come close to that is Space Jam; which is an awesome movie, but doesn't actually help here.

[Strife1]

Capsule Corporation was once a rival to the Red Ribbon Army as far as wealth of the world. The creation of DynoCaps made CC surpass RRA by far. Hercule probably makes movies, wins tournaments, and sells merchandise. I'd put him withing the top 5% in the world, but the Brief family owns the most successful business in the world.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Bulma's richer, but Mr. Satan's more famous.

Pretty much this, if I had to guess. I'd say there's a decent chance Mr. Satan may be the next richest though, or perhaps the richest 'individual', rather than a family and/or corporation.

Thats why i took times 10 Michael Jordan gets a huge amount of money from every Nike sold or something like that and a lot of merchandise for himself, now i imagine Satan has the same deal but 10 times more.. Tho if we want to compare with the savior of the world then the closest real life comparison would be Jesus or Mohammed

Battle of Gods suggests it's Bulma... look at her bingo prizes.

I'm confident that Capsule Corp has more money than Mr. Satan. By Age 778 they own 48% of the world's vehicle market, plus all their other products like appliances, Hoi-Poi Capsules, and clothing. Here's what Daizenshuu #7 has to say about the company:

Their greatest rival was the Red Ribbon Army
The Red Ribbon Army was Capsule Corporation’s rival, though only in the vehicle category. Though there’s a huge difference between a business and an army, or general use and military use, at one time they competed in vehicle production numbers. However, performance-wise Capsule Corporation completely took the lead. After the Red Ribbon Army was wiped out, it’s safe to say that Capsule Corporation has no rivals.

Percentage of Worldwide Vehicle Makers
Age 750
Capsule Corporation: 40%
Red Ribbon Army: 16%
Other: 44%

Age 778
Capsule Corporation: 48%
Other: 52%

Capsule Corporation, Soaring throughout the World
Bulma’s father Briefs is the representative director of the world-leading company Capsule Corporation. Follow Capsule Corporation’s life, starting with the invention of the Hoi-Poi Capsule.

The president who established the company within a single generation
One invention, the Hoi-Poi Capsule, established the grand company that is one of the greatest in the world. The brain of the genius inventor Dr. Brief is the driving force behind Capsule Corporation.

Clothing, electronics, prefabricated housing: advancing rapidly in many different directions
The worldwide earnings of Hoi-Poi Capsules is far outside the norm. The figures from merely the royalty fees from outside products made by the company is estimated to climb to an extraordinary amount of money. Making use of these funds, Capsule Corporation has spread out into various branches. Its clothing brand has many fans, and its electronics are wildly popular for their functional designs.

48% of the vehicles on Earth are Capsule Corporation products
Out of all of Capsule Corporation’s products, the most popular are their vehicles. They develop, manufacture, and sell every kind of vehicle. Because Briefs himself makes the basic blueprints, their mileage, performance, and design leave nothing to be desired. They have already achieved the miraculous feat of holding close to half of the worldwide market share.

Interesting how the Red Ribbon Army competed against Capsule Corp. in vehicle manufacturing despite being...you know, a private military organization (a criminal one as well). Did they just sell military vehicles or commercial ones? Were there really people out there in Dragon World buying cars from a criminal military organization? Come to think of it, how was the RRA not at war with the King's army? You think the global government wouldn't tolerate some stubby war criminal and his mass army of dickwads terrorizing the land for so long.

Typical government, not caring unless the problem is right at their door.

THANKS, FURBAMA!

um don't know, Bulma has this corporations thing going on , while Mr Satan is the Worlds martial arts king and has Buu as his right hand man . However 18 and krillin got a nice percentage out of him lol

[GarrettCRW]

Bulma maintains a wealthier lifestyle than Mr. Satan at the pleasure of the true mastermind of Capsule Corp: Dr. Briefs' cat.

[TenshiGokuu]

bulma is richer, because capsule corp is pretty much had the biggest influence on earth on how economy and transportation works and even before dbz era they were like the world leading company and had a lot of money. Mr.Satan like a typical celebrity doesn't have just money growing on the trees.I also dont think that people actually think that he defeated cell. when there was already a live recording cell easily defeating whole army. then Satan would have probably been a target to a CIA and military forces and would have been questioned and experimented by them if he had soo much power.

That's the real world. This is DB where the entire planet is governed by one ruler: An old dog man. And if they believed Satan > Cell who defeated the whole army easily, then wouldn't it stand to reason Satan >> army?

[ABED]

I think Mr. Satan has a bunch of endorsements and merch that he gets a cut of. He's definitely loaded, but capsule technology, given its almost unlimited applications would easily make Capsule Corp the biggest company in the world.
