1. I am not sure about this
I think Scrooge McDuck is the richest - first of all, his money is all in cash - he has vaults full of it and swims in it like a dolphin. And secondly, wasn't Scrooge supposed to be worth umpteen sesquikazillion dollars?

2. What about Vito Corleone?
He had Manhattan real estate, whole office buildings, Wall Street brokerage houses, banks, Vegas casinos, etc. and that's just the legal stuff.
