* Most (if not all) of the Wedge Rats of ''[[Undocumented Features]]'' have this in the "Future Imperfect" era and beyond just as a result of being 400+ years old with a reasonably stable galactic economy during all that time -- the simple effect of compound interest alone plus a banking system designed for the kind of cash supply available in an interstellar civilization makes it more or less inevitable. And that doesn't even include stocks, bonds and other investments outside of a plain savings account. MegaZone, in particular, has ''so'' much money on hand that early in the ''Symphony of the Sword'' he makes each of the refugees from Cephiro independently wealthy (except Saionji, who declines the offer) as part of building new identities for them in Midgard, and goes so far as to make Juri ''outrageously'' so. This, he explains, he does using bank and investment accounts he's had sitting around unused and half-forgotten for a century or more.
* Tony Stark is already a lot of this in canon, but the tendency gets even more exaggerated in fanfic, especially Marvel Cinematic Universe fanfic. The following quote from a fanfic where Pepper is conducting an orientation for new Avengers Tower support staff pretty much sums it up:
