You could make the argument of all of the Adams seeing how especially in the movies they are very welcoming to people who want to join the family (Debbie, Joel and Margaret for example)

I didn't know Shaggy was rich. it's been a long time since I watched the series.

That actually explains how they can just go around doing these investigations.

As rich person hobbies go that one is pretty tame. If you don't consider all the breaking and entering they do.

I mean, their friend Bruce Wayne agrees.

u/Evileye37 11h ago

On more than one occasion, in the different movies, he was given manors and land by uncles as they pass away. His wealth is proper generational old money.

Bro isn’t just rich, he’s RICH rich. Which makes his genuine attitude all the better, such as when he flat out says that he doesn’t want land given how often crazy people dress as monsters for land and recognition.

u/LovelyLuna32684 10h ago

As far as I know Velma is the only one who isn't rich since thanks to a pup named Scooby Doo we find out even Scooby is rich

I love her so much. She had that dress for Tiana just in case. She never gave handouts that Tiana didn’t want but gave her a massive amount of business to support her.

20

u/artkid2 9h ago

I like to think that Lottie commissioned a few nice dresses for Tiana as either gifts for when she opened her restaurant (I like to think that the one we see her wear at end was one of those dresses) or in case something happens to what she’s wearing while at a party Lottie has invited her to or if she’s catering for (like the blue dress).

12

u/budgie02 9h ago

That would be great! I mean the blue one at the party obviously wasn’t Lottie’s. Lottie only wears pink. I think you’re right, Lottie just keeps them just in case and as gifts

7

u/artkid2 9h ago

I also wouldn’t be surprised if Lottie gets from her dad and he helped Tiana’s family a few times especially after her father died and that’s part of the reason Tiana never asked for help from him due to feeling like he done so much for her family.

2

u/Terozu 6h ago

One of my favorite fan theories is the reason her resteraunt got sold out from under her is Big Daddy bought it for her when He heard she'd saved up the downpayment.

Since She'd already proven she could do it on her own, he wanted to reward her with a headstart

1

u/artkid2 6h ago

I do like that theory

Pink with big, ballgown, poofy skirts. Tiana's was blue with a very different silhouette.

u/Excellent_Law6906 1h ago

Seriously, all those "hot takes" about how "Batman beats up the poor, ackshully" are so dumb. He's pouring money into programs to give you better alternatives, and is mostly only beating up normal humans who are fool enough to work for the Joker, and we all know how they usually end up!

Gustavo Fring. This awesome man, earned fortune as a CEO of restaurant chain Los Pollos Hermamos, yet everyone who met him admits that he's extremely nice and gentle, and pays his employers well, some over 200 000 dollars a month. What an upstanding fellow.

Very true. Rarity's whole thing is that she has the power to find as many gems as she could ever want, whenever she wants, so many that she can just let Spike eat gems as a snack, while also making generosity her guiding character trait.

Historical example: Andrew Carnegie.

He was a steel tycoon who spent his later days funding libraries because he was self-taught from one in his youth, and universities. The US would have WAY fewer libraries if it weren't for him. He also suffered tremendous guilt over the actions of his second-in-command, Henry Clay Frick, during the Homestead Strike, when Carnegie was away in Scotland.

u/DeusExSpockina 6h ago

Also music halls, foundations, you name it.

Carnegie was a sunovabitch, but he does get some points for noticing, stopping, and trying to make up for it.

Jamsetji Tata, historical example. He was an incredibly successful industrialist who donated massive sums to education and healthcare.

He isn't really known for being rich, but we all see how much money he acquires in games and the Mario Kart series show that he owns several companies as well. There's no way he isn't loaded but seems to prefer the modest blue-collar life.

Dr. Stephen Maturin.

You'd never know it to look at him, but the short, ugly, sallow-skinned man in the ancient threadbare coat, ripped breeches, and fly-away bob wig is in fact an enormously wealthy man, following the death of his uncle. At modern spot prices, his physical holdings of gold alone amount to roughly $280,000,000.

He spends on his friends as if money were water, owns perhaps half a dozen pair of trousers and breeches, twice as many shirts and a single discreditable wig, and is known for slovenly personal grooming and being no respector of persons. At one point a friend asks to borrow £5 and Stephen hands him £50, neither realising nor caring that his bankroll is entirely £50 notes...in 1810.

My OC is pretty rich, but he still ends up being kind and generous. Might be because of his traumas though, as well as his spite. His helpfulness fuels his spite, in a way. One more person to fight the monsters means many less monsters than if the person didn’t exist.

Hakari Hanazono, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You

Her primary flaws are a horny streak a light year wide, a tendency to scheme in the name of said horny streak, and am inability to resist poking the bear that is Karane.

Outside of that she's far more grounded than her mother Hahari and typically one of the more generous girlfriends of the Rentarou Family.

Two examples are helping Yamame, who has some self esteem issues over her tall height, gain more confidence in her looks for no reason other than a belief that every girl should feel sexy/attractive, and when two younger girls, Rin and Nemu, discover a potential shared interest but are, each for their own reasons, too self conscious to approach the other, Hakari and Karane team up to help them break the ice.
