Net Worth: $8 Billion
Hometown: Kent, England
Marital Status: Single
Reclusive chocolate factory owner is known for delicious products and brash promotions. Once inserted golden tickets in chocolate bars, the holders of which were promised factory tours. Result? Torrential craze for chocolates. Chronic labor problems led him to hire scab Oompa Loompa workers. Move touched off protests by British trade unions, but Oompa Loompas remain staunchly loyal to Wonka. Wonka's age and lack of heir touched off concerns about succession. Known for dislike of the press. Demands that "all questions must be submitted in writing"--and still refuses to answer. The mystery has led to fascination about the man: "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."
Wonka was 6th from the Fictional Fifteen years ago but now he's down by four at #10.
