• A running gag is the Beagle Boys trying to steal Scrooge McDuck's Money-the one time they nearly succeded by legal means-until they failed the final test-of diving into the money bin-Scrooge's head was much harder than theirs!
• Scrooge McDuck loves mince pie-although it gives him nightmares {i.e. Losing wealth} Disney Golden Key Comic Digest # 21 April 1970 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.5.89.228 (talk) 12:22, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to the article, in the story "The Magic Hourglass": Scrooge starts losing one billion dollars each minute, and comments that he will go bankrupt within 600 years.

I just calculated that this means Scrooge's net worth is about 3.1536 * 10¹⁷ dollars, meaning 315.36 quadrillion dollars (short scale) or 0.31536 trillion dollars (long scale). JIP | Talk 13:22, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

During the series finale of DuckTales 2017, it was revealed that Webby Vanderquack was Scrooge McDuck's daughter (via cloning). This is only canon to the 2017 DuckTales (however Webby barely appears outside of both DuckTales series). Should we add that Webby is Scrooge's daughter via cloning to the infobox on this article, or should we keep it the same?

Absolutely! Honestly,I think that you should make separate articles on DuckTales (1987) and (2017). 71.31.176.124 (talk) 03:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done by 2600:1700:2c55:0:41cc:36c6:48a3:cf0e on 6 August 2021 regarding Scrooge's age, I don't think its accurate information which should be reverted but could someone double check before reverting the information? Thanks KtMystic (talk) 06:59, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To me it looked like complete nonsense, probably vandalism. I have reverted the edit. JIP | Talk 14:17, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
