Bulma's wealth and fame

It is revealed that the Briefs family unit is one of the most famous and richest in the world, and then I am wondering....how rich was Bulma (or the whole Briefs family)? How famous was she? Did she have "servants"?

I am particularly wondering this information in regards to the Majin Buu Arc.

I think Bulma might be fairly well known. The policeman knew who she was whenever Goku went looking for her during his first visit to West City, though this is also the only bear witness hinting at her being famous, if I remember correctly.

I don't think Bulma has her own source of income. She just lives at Capsule Corporation forever and mooches off her parents.

I'd say the Sheathing Underpants family are pretty famous, Hoi Poi Capsules are meant to be a earth wide thing aren't they? Surely Dr. Cursory is the Dragon Brawl equivilent of Bill Gates.

Dr. Gero also seems to know who she is.

They must be quite famous, Remember kidnappers tried to accept Goku as they thought he was a relative of Bulma's.
I always guessed she was a heiress similar to Paris Hilton in that respect. Her father built the empire and she just slots in and gives a hand every at present and and so. (Just every bit Trunks does in GT.)

What is upward with Bulma and Kuririn living with someone else, when they should move out and enhance their children by themselves, like Chichi did. Bulma has always lived with her parents forever and Kuririn has always lived with Roshi e'er since he came to railroad train every bit a child.

Well, I don't know virtually other countries, merely in England in established (richer) families sometimes the parents will motility into a smaller house somewhere else on the premises (or a wing of the same house) to permit the child take over and run the identify while the parents are yet live just 'retired' (although the parents would yet technically OWN the whole place...) So maybe that's the case with Bulma? Every bit for Kuririn, I call back he'due south only pretty much a moocher. That said, why didn't 18 use some of her Satan-threatening money to buy a mansion? She seems similar the type who would, somehow...

Bulma works at Sheathing Corp. when she gets older, she doesn't just mooch, IIRC.

I gauge Kuririn COULD'VE left, but he doesn't actually have anywhere to go. His village treated him like shit.

Yous would call up with that ridiculous amount of coin, Bulma would have thrown Chi-Chi a bone, but no. Poor woman has lived in the same house for the last twenty years in the middle of nowhere and to brand matters worse, her treasure is running out.

I think Chichi likes where she lives. And she probably isn't the type to take hand-outs.

I'd say she is, woman hasn't worked a day in her life. The only money source of income she has e'er had in her life came from her father and her husband's reward.

Permit me rephrase it; she doesn't seem like the type to take hand-outs from friends (people outside of the family unit).

Inherited coin and money your married man earned aren't the same as someone saying, "Hey, you guys sure are poor losers. Take some pity money."

Let me rephrase it; she doesn't seem like the type to take hand-outs from friends (people outside of the family).

Inherited money and money your husband earned aren't the same equally someone saying, "Hey, y'all guys certain are poor losers. Have some compassion money."

Agreed. It's all Goku's money, only whatsoever money Goku earns belongs to her, existence the typical shrew.

In other words, money inherited by her begetter while he's notwithstanding alive implies a dowery. (Though she may have been given help after Goku died.)

You know, I've always idea that as well; Besides when Goku visits Oob's hamlet and sees how poor it is, I remember him maxim he knows somebody rich (Referring to Hercule) surely Bulma would accept the funds to help the poor hamlet peasants?

I guess mayhap Chichi did non want to seem like a charity case and not able to bring upwardly her children without help from others. They tend to alive off the state a lot, (Communicable food, Growing Vegetables, Log burn, Bath in garden.) I doubt they have much in the fashion of bills living out in the middle of nowhere. I exercise however call up her urging Goten to win the tournament so they have some coin.

Y'all know, I've always thought that every bit well; Besides when Goku visits Oob's village and sees how poor it is, I recollect him saying he knows somebody rich (Referring to Mr. Satan) surely Bulma would take the funds to assistance the poor village peasants?

I judge perhaps Chichi did not want to seem like a clemency instance and non able to bring up her children without help from others. They tend to alive off the land a lot, (Catching nutrient, Growing Vegetables, Log fire, Bathroom in garden.) I dubiety they have much in the way of bills living out in the middle of nowhere. I do still recall her urging Goten to win the tournament so they have some money.

I don't think they are poor considering the Ox-Male monarch was seemingly fairly wealthy, and besides Goku won a huge prize at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

I feel the same way. I don't empathise why she just didn't tell Goku to rob a bank or something, I hateful what the Hell, the guy could destroy worlds in a millisecond.

The Son house looked like a place worth living at the cease of the serial when it became a fourth of the size of Capsule Corp., not that I wouldn't want to alive in information technology before it got all fancy since it was a homey identify before.

Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger abroad likewise.

Guys, they didn't really demand the money. They have that average sized business firm, and the Son family wasn't exactly Scrooge-tastic. They were content with what they had. Plus, Neither Goku nor Chi-Chi grew up in overpopulated areas, IIRC. The borderline hermit lifestyle in the wood was familiar to them.
