Harvey with Richie Rich 1

Richie Rich (often stylized as Ri¢hie Ri¢h is a fictional character in the Harvey Comics universe. He debuted in Little Dot #1, cover-dated September 1953, and was created by Alfred Harvey and Warren Kremer. Dubbed "the poor little rich boy", Richie is the only child of fantastically wealthy parents and is the world's richest kid. He is so rich, his middle name is a dollar sign, $. During Harvey Comics' heyday (1950–1982), Richie was the publisher's most popular character, eventually starring in over 50 separate titles, including such long-running comics as Richie Rich, Richie Rich Millions, Richie Rich Dollars and Cents, and Richie Rich Success Stories. In 2011 Ape Entertainment began publishing a new licensed Richie Rich comic book series, taking the character in a very different, action-oriented, direction.

Despite any negative stereotypes associated with his incredible wealth, Richie Rich is portrayed as kind and charitable (in fact, his moniker is "the poor little rich boy") he lives in an expensive mansion and owns at least two of everything money can buy. Richie appears to be around seven to ten years old and wears a waistcoat, a white shirt with an Eton collar (which is obscured by a giant red bow tie), and blue shorts. He was occasionally shown attending school in his hometown of Harveyville. Other times he's classmates with Little Dot and Little Lotta in Bonnie Dell.
