Billionaire Tony Stark a.k.a. whose CEO is an immoral minotaur no less.
Founded in the 19th-century by Dr. Isaac Stark Sr., Stark Industries would receive its first major jolt of success when placed under the control of Isaac's future grandson Howard Stark. Presently housing its main headquarters in Queens, New York City with several facilities based around separate divisions of the company, Stark Industries remains a vital Marvel establishment. The main goal of the company is currently geared toward global aerospace, defense, and advanced security technologies. According to the financial news site Money.com, Tony Stark's estimated net worth partly owed from years of being a genius, superhero, and philanthropist is currently set at $12.4 billion, placing him well above other Marvel elites Professor X and Emma Frost. But how does Stark fare against the equally wealthy Minotaur and his own billion-dollar company?
Similar to Tony, Roxxon CEO Dario Agger acquired his massive fortune from birth, given the status of his wealthy parents. Primarily based in New York City, with several subsidiaries located around the world, Roxxon has built a solid reputation as one of the predominant fuel companies in the world. But Roxxon's formidable reputation doesn't end there. Unlike Stark Industries, Agger's company has not hesitated to venture into the wrong side of the law to ensure its continued success. Roxxon has been continually involved in several illegal activities, often working alongside supervillain organizations from Hydra to the Dark Council of the Ten Realms. The success of Roxxon is fittingly owed to its various oil-based refining and manufacturing brands. Since its inception as the Roxxon Oil Company, Roxxon's main focus has been oil. With over 100,000 working men and women at their disposal, Roxxon's been firing on all cylinders for decades.
Roxxon's annual income for the decade is sure to give Tony Stark a run for his money, with the oil manufacturer easily exceeding $500 billion in its annual revenue. Gaining both the superhuman powers of a minotaur and a massive company, Dario Agger's greed shows no bounds. The recent Marvel Comics crossover event of 2019, War of The Realms, saw Minotaur amass an even greater fortune by way of partnering with the villainous dark elf of Svartalfheim, Malekith the Accursed. Dario and Malekith's partnership would ensure Agger the opportunity to mine each of the Ten Realms for their natural resources. If Agger must pollute the Earth and other realms throughout the universe in order to maintain his money and success, the deed will be done ever swiftly.
Currently, Iron Man seems to be in a much better financial position than the villainous Agger, who saw much of his stock price take a major hit following the events of War of the Realms. Agger's situation would escalate even further when the businessman came into conflict with The Hulk, who kindly put an end to Roxxon's profitable social media platforms. While Agger may have usurped Stark's financial lead in the past, Minotaur's desire for greed eventually outweighed any long-term success the villain had in mind.
