The famed Monopoly mascot.
Historian and author Philip Orbanes wrote in 2004 that it is believed that the character is based on either the calling cards of Albert Richardson (Parker Brothers' first traveling salesman) or the character of "Little Esky" from Esquire magazine or a combination of the two. Orbanes later wrote, in 2006, that the character was also partially influenced by the stature and dress of financier and banker J. P. Morgan.
Mr. Monopoly has a wife named Madge. He is named as the sixth richest fictional character on The Forbes Fictional 15 list on its website. Which is got damn ridiculous.
I also found these monopoly Reeboks, pretty tight.
