15. The Fenmores, The Young and the Restless
Don’t knock Lauren and surprise sister Jill as the proprietors of the small-screen Claire’s. Their boutiques have kept them for ages in the style to which we’d all like to become accustomed.

14. The Blacks, Days of Our Lives
Image Credit: Jill Johnson/JPI Not sure what John is so torn up about in this photo. If son Brady needed surgery, they could afford to buy not only a doctor to operate but a hospital in which to perform the procedure.

13. The Logans, The Bold and the Beautiful
Image Credit: © XJJohnson/jpistudios.com Owing to Brooke’s invention of a miraculous wrinkle-free fabric — not to mention her and her siblings’ tendency to marry money — they are wealthy beyond, ahem, BeLieF. So when people say they look like a million bucks, it’s not just a compliment, it’s a fact!

12. The Lockes, The Young and the Restless
Image Credit: Monty Brinton/CBS OK, so “the Lockes” aren’t so much a family as they are Ashland alone. That’s fine by him; even though his piggy bank is the size of a farm, he didn’t wanna have to share its contents, anyway!

11. The Robertses, Days of Our Lives
Image Credit: Paul Skipper/JPI We know, we know, Lucas goes by Horton now. But that doesn’t change the fact that he and mom Kate have amassed the kind of fortune that would get them seated in the VIP section of even the VIP section!

10. The Spencers, The Bold and the Beautiful
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI Eye on Fashion? Hardly. Dollar Bill is so named is because he always has his peepers on the Benjamins. Or better yet, the William McKinleys.

9. The Corinthoses, General Hospital
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI Crime pays — really well, apparently. So Port Charles’ Teflon don and his nearest and dearest have been living in the lap of luxury since Sonny went from running a strip club to running the whole town.

8. The Winterses, The Young and the Restless
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI Between Lily and Devon’s inheritance from Neil and his added windfall from grandma Katherine, they couldn’t just buy us, they could buy us at an awful markup and still have enough surplus cash to buy us all over again. Also, we may be cheap.

7. The Cassadines, General Hospital
Image Credit: ABC Though their vault may be full of blood money, it’s always spent just fine for Nikolas, Spencer and their cutthroat kinfolk. And if they ever wanted their ill-gotten gains laundered, they could probably get a hand from the family at No. 9… for a price.

6. The Forresters, The Bold and the Beautiful
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI Never mind dressing for dinner; Eric and his family oughta dress for even between-meal snacks, given that they made their moolah off fancypants gladrags.
-
5. The Quartermaines, General Hospital
Image Credit: Chris D/JPI Thanks to Pickle-Lila, ELQ remains a big-business MVP. But it speaks volumes about the Bickersons that, as we’re so often reminded, their mansion isn’t theirs but Monica’s.

4. The DiMeras, Days of Our Lives
Image Credit: Jill Johnson/JPI What Stefano’s descendants actually produce or do, we have no idea. What we do know, however, is that it earns them enough megabucks to live the sorta over-the-top lifestyle that Robin Leach used to spotlight on his 1990s series.

3. The Abbotts, The Young and the Restless
Image Credit: Jill Johnson/JPI Ya know what the sweet smell of success really is? A Jabot Cosmetics fragrance. Which is why Jack and his relatives have spent an eternity fending off hostile takeovers (in particular from the family at No. 1 on this list).
-
2. The Kiriakises, Days of Our Lives
Image Credit: Jill Johnson/JPI Victor’s clan doesn’t just own and operate Titan Industries, it is in and of itself a titan of industry. And given his and his relatives’ willingness to bend the rules, it’s no wonder that they never fail to stand eyeball-deep in riches.

1. The Newmans, The Young and the Restless
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI Those who say that money can’t buy love don’t have as much of it as Victor’s family. They’re so affluent that they could sue one another out of a fortune — as his kids did dear old Dad — and nonetheless have enough pocket change left over to purchase a small country. Maybe even a medium-sized one.
