And they list Cruella as 60 years old. Now, we know she's Anita's school chum, so how can she be that much older? How many years could she stay back? Also, Uncle Scrooge has an alma mater listed. Now, I'm no expert on Barks lore, but did he even go to college? I'd've thought not.

Originally Posted By basil fan I know Forbes only used Disney characters who were well known to the general public, but I was wondering which of the lesser-known characters could've made the list. Certainly all the royals, from Prince John to Kuzco to the Sultan. But there's also Jenny Foxworth, Madame Bonfamille, & expecially Preston Whitmore. Boy, is that guy loaded!!
