Trivia: Who are Fenspace's Plutocrats?
 
#10
Doctor Drakken is having far too much fun to worry about stockpiling any more money than what he needs to build and maintain his Grasping Hand Fortress of Spaghetti Space Opera, his reign of professional entertainment villainy, his costuming empire, and the odd Mad gadgeteering. Also, he's a bibliophile with the super villainous--his one actual bit of villainy--intent of freeing Fenspace from von Däniken-esque claptrap by buying up & entombing as much New Age & Old Age nonsense as he can get his blueberry hands upon. This is an expensive venture requiring many book dealers and a good deal of vault space as he can't bring himself to destroy even the most ridiculous or horrific of books. He keeps the best examples of each in the von Däniken section of his library (Each section is marked by a ersatz marble bust of a paragon of the subject.) : notable books within this section include a first edition signed hardbound edition of Chariots of the Gods, and the collected alien abduction works of Whitley Strieber. The dark gem of his collection is an 1487 original edition of the Kramer & Sprenger run of The Malleus Maleficarum. This...hobby costs Drakken more than a few talents.

Ergo, he'll never be the Croesus of Fensapce : money's the means, not the end.
