The comic book series was created by cartoonist Warren Kremer. Richie is the only child of fantastically wealthy parents. He lives and works in an expansive mansion and owns at least two of everything money could buy. He appears to be around 7-10 years old, wears a waistcoat and blue shorts, and occasionally attends school. In 1980, Richie Rich appeared in his own animated television series, sharing a timeslot with Scooby-Doo. In the animated version, Richie and his pals are somewhat older, around 12 years old. In the cartoon, Richie wears a red sweater with the letter "R" in front. In 1994, a live-action Richie Rich movie starring Macaulay Culkin as the title character, was released. In 1996, the second Richie Rich animated series aired in syndication, starring Katie Leigh as the voice of the title character. The series ran 13 episodes.
