I was pondering the other day about how much Darth Vader made. He lived in that huge lava castle place. That must have cost some coin. I'm sure he had plenty of perks being the Emperor's lackey. 24 hour body guards...those red dudes. I mean, why did he need those guys? He could have killed all of them just by sneezing. Probably a fleet of shuttles at his disposal and that really big triangle space ship thing.
He probably cost a ton in benefits, too. Can you imagine his medical bills? Once he hit family out of pocket...the Emperor's accountant was probably "Look at this shit...this dude is costing as much to keep alive as the Death Star is to maintain. We have to make a choice. Get rid of the Death Star". So they did. They let those 5 tiny space ships blow it up. I mean, what an embarrassment. I bet Vader threw Tarkin under the bus for that one. Can you imagine being a fly on the wall for that meeting? So Vader's all like, "I'm gonna get Luke. He's shakin' with The Force. Can't have that. Oh, BTW...the Death Star was cool. I'm willing to take a cut in benefits so we can build an even bigger piece of shit with room to fly space ships through so anyone can easily access all the vital internal components". The Emperor was all about that. "Great Idea" says the Emperor. "I'll remember this for your annual review. Good work, Vader". Then they were both dead! WTF? Anyhow...with all Vader's job perks and salary, how much was he worth? |

Of all the things to do in the world, this is what you think about?

Considering his ability to choke someone long distance through the phone, the costs to employ him were negligible

I’m honestly surprised they didn’t get investigated for insurance fraud after not one but two Death Stars were blown up by the same space terrorists. I mean c’mon that’s gotta look shady as fuck to the insurance company.

He was a character in a movie.
His net worth is nothing as he did not actually exist. So about as much as Dr No but more than Dr Evil. |

The Red Dudes were the Emperor's Guard, Vader didn't have nor need any.

View Quote That doesn't make sense - you blow up the insurance company AFTER they pay out, not before. The Empire already paid their premiums, blowing up the insurance company before the Death Star(s) only ensured that they wouldn't be paid on their claim. |

Yeah, but they knew they were going to be under investigation so they preemptively struck. |

Just imagine how much the suit alone would have cost. I completely respect some of the cost saving measures Emperor Palpatine took.

As a youngster, Anakin started out a penniless slave with a poor acting ability but midichlorian levels off the charts. He didn't date much after losing his legs, but he did have the snazziest Tie fighter with curved wings. His only real needs seemed to be a special seat with an outer shell and automatic helmet removal. All in all, Darth Vader's Net Worth was $1.5 million.

I think at that level of power, there is no need for currency. Everyone serves you, and you take what you want. Kinda like Putin. In real dollars, he is likely the richest man alive. He controls trillions in assets. Who is going to tell him he can't have something or can't do something? To a lesser extent, Kim Jong Un is the same. They don't need a salary. They wave a hand and make things so.
