** Another CMoA for Gladstone is his rescue of Donald in "Donald's Lucky Day". Donald falls into a river and is about to drown. Gladstone, instead of relying on luck, or even just letting Donald flail around, instantly rips of his coat and throws himself into the strong current, carries Donald to shore, and gives him the needed help afterwards.

* Most of Scrooge's awesomeness is based in how has found more priceless treasures than perhaps any other fictional character: The Sampo, The Land of Xanadu (during his attempt to find the Crown of the Crusader Kings), The Treasure of the Knights Templar, The First Minted coin of Croesus, The Candy-Egg Ruby, The Crown of Genghis Khan, The Philosopher's Stone, The Golden Fleece of Jason, The Fountain of Youth, The Lost Dutchman Mines, and (according to WordOfGod) his final discovery, The Trojan Horse. Certainly his record is mixed in actually ''hanging on'' to the treasures, but that's mainly a result of Scrooge wanting to play fair, which is kind of awesome in itself.

* There's a story where Flintheart and Scrooge are competing for the title of Richest Duck in the World. After comparing all the big-ticket items, and working down to progressively less and less valuable holdings, they're still neck and neck. It finally comes down to the fact that both of them collect ''string'', and each has a huge ball of the stuff. They start at one end of Africa and begin rolling it out to see which is longer. (They're also sabotaging each other along the way.) When they finally reach the end of the strings, [[spoiler: the strings are the same length... at which point ''Scrooge takes out his NumberOneDime, which he keeps at the end of ... a piece of string.'' Adding that is more than enough to put him past Flintheart.]]

* In one comic where Donald buys a bit of land, it turns out to be one him and Rockerduck has been fighting over(they have a comparison about who owns more land- the winner will be allowed to use the other's land for a season), despite the lot being rather worthless. John D. Rockerduck shows up mere seconds before Scrooge is about to buy a piece of land from Donald for a single dollar. Rockerduck proceeds to offer Donald a big check. Donald is ecstatic, and Rockerduck doesn't even gloat, just drives home.
