Arab Oil Sheikh/Playing With

Basic Trope: A person from somewhere in the Middle East who has a lot of wealth from their investments in oil.

Played Straight: Bob invests in oil from his home country of Tropestan. He is able to afford luxury cars and has lots of beautiful women by his side.
Exaggerated: Because of his wealth, he was able to buy the entire country of Tropestan and become its sultan.
Justified: Oil is a precious commodity, so investing in it is a shrewd move if you want to get wealthy.
Inverted: Investing in oil makes Bob poor.
Subverted: Investing in oil doesn't give Bob ridiculous amounts of money.
Double Subverted:
- But investing in Applied Phlebotinum (which everyone is switching over to) does.
- Alternatively, he is married or related to someone whose investments have really paid off...and leaves it all to him.
Deconstructed:
Reconstructed:
Zig Zagged: Some Tropestani oil-investors become wealthy, others do not.
Lampshaded: "Wow! Tropestani oil is worth gazillions!"
Parodied: Everyone at the oil company, indeed all of Tropestan, is like this.
Averted: Bob does not become wealthy from investing in Tropestani oil companies.
Enforced:
Invoked: Bob hears from his friend talking about oil investments.
Defied: Bob doesn't want to invest in oil, because a) it doesn't last forever b) it is a pollutant and c) lots of people are fighting over it.
