Two cartoonists among the 50 richest celebrities, or not

 

Two cartoonists, Jim Davis and Matt Groening, are among the 50 richest celebrities in the art world.

At least that's what they say in another one of those thousand lists of billionaires in which no data is ever provided other than bare, round figures, usually speculative and with fewer sources than a desert

But we're here to play, and you know how much people like lists, especially because they're a bait that always works for the desired clicks.

With these mimbres, I'm seriously considering writing a list of the 50, or 5000, poorest Spanish cartoonists because I don't think it would even give me enough money for 2 muchomillionaires.

Be that as it may, this is what they say about Davis and Groening's heritage in a blog (which is a heap of clickbait on different subjects) where they publish the list in question.

In 21st place is Jim Davis with 800 million dollars of wealth.
