Smaug, Mr. Ferro... and Dollar Signs in the Eyes
Smaug with OCD:
Earlier today, I was doing a bit of research for a side project of mine, and stumbled across Forbes Fictional 16. Listed at number two was Smaug(Sadly, no relation), with 54 billion dollars in estimated wealth. And, that got me wondering: How much is Ferrovax worth? I get that he's a semi-divine being, but he's a Dragon. And, Dragons have hoards. I'm curious what you think one-thousand(or more!) years of interest and investments would get him. Alternatively, maybe he doesn't make investments. Could he just sit on it instead(doubtful, given his vault at Marcone's place)?
Thoughts?
NOTE: This is purely for silly, random fun. So... have fun with it!

I think he's loaded. Would he have investments? I dunno. I think gold, jewels, rare artwork, literature, and powerful magical relics are more his style.

Well, those are investments. They just aren't that liquid (apart from the gold, which can be quickly sold for cash). But who needs liquid assets when you are an immortal that's as old as the world.

Reference post with what we know about Ferro's wealth thus far:
In GP he was given a case several million dollars worth of gold and jewels.

What did Ferrovax receive at Bianca's party?
He got gold and gems. Not like a ton, it was several million dollars worth.

In SG, he had stored "rows upon rows of closed, Fireproof safes"
And an honorable mention regarding Dragon Hordes:

1) What ever happened to Siriothrax's hoard? Did any of the magical powerups in the series we've seen so far originate there?
1) Heh, it's still right where it was. NO ONE wants to pick up anything from a Dragon's hoard. Talk about Death Curses...
