Batman is a story about a man who deploys his fortune on disposable technologies, hand-made Armani suits, and political campaigns to protect a particular form of society. But his history is not very sweet.

Bruce Wayne is a trust fund orphan. He invests in capital growing activities through Wayne Enterprises, whose successful operation is so secure that he sleeps through business meetings. Wayne’s nighttime vigilante project as ‘Batman’ follows the classic model of 19th C philanthropy, which diverts funds from capitalist production to the betterment of society. He stands up against the urban underbelly (organized crime, terrorism, and corruption) and for the reinstatement of civic ideals (democratic politics and civil order). The twist is that he does not build social institutes or charitable societies. Instead, he channels funds into developing a personal arsenal of crime-fighting technologies.

So what can we learn from this one Superhero?

Kord Industries/Consolidated, Star Labs, Wayne Corp/Enterprises, and various shell companies. Smallholding in Lex corp, multiple mid-cap and large growth stock purchases, and personal/business account holdings.
-He’s a multi-billionaire with nothing if not a diverse portfolio.

He was heir to a substantial fortune and his father’s company, Wayne Enterprises, which he has expanded into one of those multinational, invested-in-everything super corporations that only exist in fiction. It’s an unlimited source of Cash and gadgets. If we go with one assumption, his wealth is around $8 billion, including resources.

According to the 2012 Forbes fictional 15, Bruce Wayne was valued at $6.9 billion. This puts him behind Charles Forster Kane, Richie Rich, Tony Stark (at $9.3 billion), Jed Clampett ($9.8 billion), and a couple others. (I Don’t hate Batman.)

So What to learn about finance from Him.

First lesson. Whatever you are doing, Cash is king. Bruce Wayne needs Cash against payment for the damage done by Batman. Then again, the salary price Alfred, Damages to Batcave, Batmobile, etc.

Second lesson. Planning is important. The parents of Batman die untimely, but that doesn’t affect it. Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne also developed their life on the Base of Succession. 

The third lesson is to be diverse. Batman and his investment are not limited to one thing. He kept his stake in various businesses. As a result, he has reduced his risk.

Batman also teaches us one more lesson about unhealthy spending culture. That is to check our spending. Even though the size of Wayne enterprise is vast, shockingly, the accountant failed to see the expenditure of Batman and his many TOYS. Unfortunately, many startups did the same and just went in the history books as failed companies.

I wanted to end this with one dialogue.

In the Movie justice league, when Barry Allen asked about his superpower, Bruce answered, ” I am rich.

Make money your superpower—the Biggest power.
