Based on the provided information, Aquaman is considered richer than Thor.
While both Thor Odinson, the God of Thunder and Prince/King of Asgard, and Arthur Curry, the King of Atlantis and ruler of the seas, possess immense power and influence, their wealth is often measured differently.
The Riches of Atlantis
According to the reference, it may be unexpected, but Aquaman is depicted as exceptionally wealthy. This wealth stems directly from his position as the King of Atlantis.
- As King, Aquaman:
- Has control over 70% of the Earth's surface – specifically, the vast oceans and seas.
- Theoretically owns everything within the seven seas.
- Rules over the kingdom of Atlantis and its vast, potentially hidden, resources and technologies.
This dominion over such a massive portion of the planet, including its resources and inhabitants, solidifies Aquaman's claim to being one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest, individuals in the DC Universe.
The Wealth of Asgard
Thor's wealth is tied to Asgard, the realm of the Asgardians. Asgard is a realm of incredible power, advanced technology (though often appearing magical), and valuable materials like Uru metal (used to forge Mjolnir). Thor, as royalty, would certainly have access to the treasures and resources of Asgard. However, his wealth is typically depicted as being tied to the realm itself rather than personal accumulation or direct control over planetary resources on the scale Aquaman commands on Earth.
Comparing Their Wealth
While quantifying the exact value of Asgard versus the Earth's oceans is difficult, the provided reference highlights Aquaman's control over a significant portion of Earth's surface and resources as the key indicator of his immense wealth.
Here's a simple comparison based on the context provided:
| Character | Basis of Wealth | Scale of Control / Ownership | Reference Implication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thor | Royalty of Asgard, Asgardian resources (e.g., Uru) | A celestial realm (Asgard) | Not cited as richer |
| Aquaman | King of Atlantis, control of Earth's oceans/seas | 70% of Earth's surface, everything within the seas | Stated as richer |
Based on the referenced perspective from Quora (Who is richer, Aquaman or Thor in the comics?), Aquaman's ownership and control over 70% of the Earth's surface and everything within the seven seas makes him significantly richer than Thor.
