L is known for his towering intelligence in ‘Death Note’. However, only some people have noticed that the amazing detective is filthy rich.

That of course was not cheap, but fans were truly shocked when L disclosed to Light that it cost him 20 million. This proves that he is one of the wealthiest anime characters.
9) Saiko Metori
Saiko Metori is the perfect example of an entitled and spoiled rich brat. He is insanely rich and has no qualms about bragging about his wealth. Saiko has his chef come to school with him. He is also surrounded by bodyguards constantly. He used to look down on people for not being as rich as he is, but he grew out of it later in the series.
8) Shinomiya Kaguya
Shinomiya Kaguya is the heiress to a big fortune. Her family owns multiple trains and banks and more and their wealth is estimated to be in trillions of yen! She is extremely rich but doesn’t flaunt like Metori. Despite being the daughter of one of Japan’s richest people, Kaguya remains down to earth. Sometimes she may seem stuck up, but that is due to her sheltered upbringing and she genuinely is clueless in those cases.
7) Daisuke Kanbe
Daisuke Kanbe is the perfect example of people who believe that they can solve any problem or can get out of any situation as long as they have money. Daisuke uses his seemingly unlimited amount of money to get out of situations. He is a detective and he uses his money to advance his cases. He is so rich that he gave a check for a billion yen to a prince. This is why he is one of the wealthiest anime characters.
6) Ciel Phantomhive
Despite being a child who lost his parents in a tragic accident, Ciel is amazingly smart. After his parents died, Ciel became the sole heir of the Phantomhive family. Even though he is young and according to most people is too young to handle business dealings, he is very smart and invests his finances well. Even after becoming the heir to one of the richest families in London, Ciel managed to grow the wealth and empire further.
5) Nagi Sanzenin
Nagi, like Ciel, is the sole survivor of her family. After her family died, she inherited their seemingly overwhelming fortune and became very rich. Due to the sudden wealth she acquired, she became spoiled and anti-social. She shares a similarity with Daisuke Kanbe as she also believes that money can solve everything. Nagi is so rich that she can throw away trillions for a trivial prank. This makes her one of the wealthiest anime characters.
4) Takishima Kei
Takishima is the heir of the Takishima group. Even though his father is the current head of the company, it is he who deals with everyone and finalizes business deals. His investors trust him more than his father. He is so rich that he can give someone a blank check without thinking too much about it. He can even buy a house, rather than a mansion, the size of a village, and not have a single dent in his bank account.
3) Sinbad
Almost all the kings are supposed to be rich. Their wealth mostly comes from taxes, but Sinbad is a bit different. Sinbad is an amazing businessman and flourishes in his deals. He earns money not only from his business but from the taxes as well as the loot in the dungeons. Sinbad can never go broke in his entire life no matter how hard he tries. This makes him one of the wealthiest anime characters.
2) Yumeko
Yumeko from ‘Kakegurui’ is very rich. The entire anime revolves around gambling and Yumeko is astonishingly good at the task.

This makes her one of the wealthiest anime characters.
1) Francis Fitzgerald
Francis from ‘Bungo Stray Dogs’ personified the phrase that money is power. This is because money is his power. The more money he spends, the stronger he gets.

His innate ability and his intelligence and thirst for money make him one of the wealthiest anime characters.
