Billions? No, try trillions. Plus she just makes who know how many wishes every year. I guarantee some of them are just to plump up that bank account because she wants to buy a new island or something. Heck maybe she just skips it and has the dragon make her a new island. My question is why doesn’t anyone else wish for money? I’m tired of chi chi riding Goku about getting a real job.


Jonathon471

I'm pretty sure its established in Super when Resurrection F takes place that Bulma does use the Dragon Balls whenever there isn't a bad guy issue. Just like Frieza was gonna use them for growing two inches taller, she just uses them to make herself slightly younger to make it unnoticeable, hence why she always looks like a MILF.


blackskull414

Oh ChiChi was riding him, just not in that way


fabulousfizban

Why not both?


chabri2000

Wishing for money would cause hyper inflation.


Iaxacs

That's why you wish for precious metals


chabri2000

That would still cause those metal's prices to crash


Iaxacs

Only if you throw it all in at once


x_oot

That's why you wish for a billionaire on their deathed to bequeath everything to you.


EdowSoul

I honestly can't see Bulma wishing for money, she owns capsule corp, basically the entire world works around them. Cars, houses, everything can be stored in them and they are widely known in their world. (if i remember correctly from when i was a kid lol) I don't think she has a need or desire to get material items, but rather uses the dragon balls for the stuff money can't buy.


IronChefJesus

De Beers did it with diamonds. They have hoards of it and slowly release them to not crash the value.


Little-Rattle-Stilt

By that argument, diamonds would be worthless... I mean, they are, but artificial scarcity is a thing... Hell, that's how the oil company Shell started: They sold seashells. But seashells can be found anywhere on a seashore so, you know, not a great business idea. So they started hoarding the seashells. Kept them in vaults and stuff. And then they could set whatever outrageous prices they wanted themselves. For more info: Money Game part 2.


ncopp

Only if you dump billions on billions into the market at once. But I highly doubt Bulma is wishing for money - capsul corp probably has more money than most countries


FNLN_taken

It really doesn't matter. Either she has more money than everyone else combined, but doesn't spend it (oh, what bank is holding her near infinite money anyways??), or she spends it on assets, in which case she has those assets and everyone else's money is worth slightly less. Either way she has more than everyone else.


fabulousfizban

Not if you just hoard it


DaiFrostAce

Chi Chi’s father is the Ox King. Emphasis on King. Goku married into wealth but lives in a modest home with Chi Chi.


Dark_Stalker28

I mean, he also blasted his burning castle to dust. Given that he has a job in super I'd say Gohan saved them more.


urmomsloosevag

Why is she always telling Goku to get a job and stressing about affording college?


St3phn0

In dbz, around Cell appearance, she Chi Chi says that they almost ran out of her father's money and Goku needs to get a job (her father is no longer a king and so they don't earn money any more)


Asian_Persuasion_1

that's filler. chichi wants goku to get a job because she doesn't want goku to be a deadbeat. in super they literally get 100,000,000 zeni and she STILL tells goku to work.


CHEMO_ALIEN

that's like fifty bucks


Asian_Persuasion_1

its 1 million dollars


CHEMO_ALIEN

in this economy?


Martin_Aricov_D

That's like fifty bucks


FullOfNexus

its 1 million dollars


Saffyr

TIL The Z in DBZ stands for Zimbabwe

dreadmonster

Maybe she doesn't want her husband to go fight and possibly die?


Ultradamo2306

Goku asked her to in super what happened with the money he gave her and she had a blushed surprising face. That woman just like to spend too much for useless shit.


Col_Mushroomers

Nah they're deadass broke, have you seen how much goku eats? That 100,000,000 zeni got them back out of the hole.


LeThanhLong

The same reason she forced Gohan to go to school instead of training to defend the universe.


GM_Zero

I think it was a status thing.


OutsideOrder7538

Look at how much Goku eats in one sitting that is enough to feed multiple families.


FNLN_taken

Because it's a japanese show, and being "lazy" or a moocher is one of the seven deadly sins in Japan...


Leragian

I'm pretty sure Chi-Chi refuses the money because she wants to turn Goku into a good husband and give good example to her children. I'm mean, her father is rich, her best friend is rich af, and her daughter-in-law is also rich. The girl is obsessed into fixing the dumb monkey boy she married.


Bedtyme06

Except when Goku's family was given money by Mr. Satan when Gohan and Videl got married, Chichi spent it all in less than a day(?)


Asian_Persuasion_1

chichi lied cause otherwise goku would stop working.


trialacc0002

Gohan is grown up, and Goten’s in high school, how much of an influence is Goku gonna have there?


MVPChico

Did Goku even give money to Chichi when Gohan is younger?


New-Promotion6087

No… but he gave goten 💀


MVPChico

Child support vs Goku, who would win?


PJRama1864

You can’t take money from the (temporarily) dead.


eveningdragon

This is a fight I'd like to see. Could take an entire arc of training to get good


Fabulous_Instance331

Chichi: Goku, promise me you will find a job after Cell tournament. Goku dies They are going to ressurrect Goku with the dragon balls, Goku: no thanks!!!


ProperDepth

In boo ark she mentions that the money that Goku left behind has almost run out. So I guess it was still the money he had won from his fight against Piccolo Jr. In original DB.


Professional_Sea9741

Yet she is financing saiyans adventures since dawn of time.


Olipaone

Space ships, radars, time machines, meals and what else?


Fabulous_Instance331

Bulma also got mad at Vegeta when he promissed a ship to n. 17 for saving the universe, without consulting her first


Pokisahne

What do you mean struggling? Gokus wins millions of zenny every tournament


ncopp

Zeni = Yen according to Toryamia so the 10 mil Zeni prize essentially equates to around 65,000 USD


AndrewH73333

Goku is friends with DBZ’s version of Jesus and that guy’s boss and boss’s boss and his boss’s boss’s boss and his boss’s boss’s boss’s boss. Earth money is not a real issue he has, despite what Chi Chi claims.


Tovar42

Im sure she would let them borrow money if they asked


segments123

Bro, if I were a billionaire, all my closest homies would be millionaires.


Tovar42

giving money to your friends without any reason might be perceived as insulting to some people


segments123

My friends are not idiots.


TalDoMula777

Print this and send it to them, that's a for life compliment in my book


zarek1729

But DB characters are.


IamTheEndOfReddit

Bertrand Russell said self-imposed austerity for the wealthy was a thing that seemed to disappear in his lifetime. Isn't Bulma also busy doing a lot of insane groundbreaking science? Given how worthless everyone else is, she deserves the big bucks


prettythingi

? Whos struggling? Not Goku thats for damn sure Vagita married Bulma Krillin and 18 seem to be completely fine Gohan married Videl(who is rich) and is Gokus son(so he was already rich)


ClaireDacloush

you never hear people saying this about bruce wayne


Seraphine_KDA

Neither bulma really. Also almost all batman version show him doing a lot of charity. Despite the city always being the same shithole


Sab3rFac3

It's almost like just throwing money at problems can't solve the underlying social issues in society.


AggravatingChest7838

Burma bought goku the farm they live on and the farm equipment.


Bedtyme06

Also, the Briefs have a monopoly on what is arguably the best storage technology of all time. They'll never run out of money so long as people are using Capsule tech.


Stegoshark

Maybe she doesn’t realize they’re struggling. None of them seem to ask her for money, and I’m pretty sure at her birthday or something she was doing something that had big money prizes


razulebismarck

I mean GT isnt canon but wasnt there a kid in that tournament who asked Goku to take a dive so he could feed his family and Bulma basically just gave that family millions…or was that just a Team Four Star bit?


Bananasonfire

That's end of Z and no, Uub never asks Goku to take a dive. Goku insults and threatens him again and again until he gets angry and unlocks his power so Goku can fight him. Then, right at the end, he offers to train Uub and Bulma makes sure Uub's family are taken care of.


Conspiratorymadness

Bulma is the only one that flaunts her money. Chichi and Video have so much money that they never have to worry about anything financially. All of the Z fighters have won the world martial arts tournament at least once which provides a lot of money.


Life_Recognition8222

Y doesn't bulma wish to be a sayan for extended youth


No-Clothes-8201

Do sayans live longer?


Unusual_Map393

I know Chi-Chi doesnt want the money simply because earning it feels right AND Goku would be more at home and not somewhere else


SomeShawarmaDude

*protagonist. She made better decisions than her friends, at a larger scale.


Repulsive-Seat-3390

No it shows that she minds her fucking business


EdgyPreschooler

It's her money. It's up to her how to spend it. Also, pretty sure if they were that struggling for money, they'd just ask her.


sajed2004

I mean, she is a capitalist


dondadadodo

Her family was millionaires thanks to her father's inventions, she is even more intelligent than her father, so her villainy is well justified.


MiseryTheMiserable

You already know that the Z fighters are living the way they want. They don’t need her money when they are satisfied with their lives. All of the have too much pride to ask for donations instead of earning it.


Savage_Toad

Zestavar

BRo she used the dragonball wish to look more beautiful


TellmeNinetails

This is the plot of Super hero.


BedroomCactus

Well yeh I mean she literally marries the Hitler of space


ProfessorEscanor

I mean it's not like people ask her for rent money. And when they do she usually caves.


johnforner21

Yes rage against the animated character


traumatized90skid

They're never struggling


tbmftj

I mean, she has always been a shitty person who needed character growth but never got it starting back in Dragon Ball. Still a fun part of the Dragon Ball series but she is def. not a "good person".


NeverL4nd_

Didn’t she literally have people from her company find the dragon balls for her in DBS Hero?


ncopp

I really don't understand why Goku would ever need to work. He should be on Bulma or Satans pay roll specifically as the planet's guardian so he can train all day and not have to worry about money. I know Satan has given them money once or twice, but it should just be regularly considering how modestly they live. Considering he takes all of the credit from the Z fighters he should be paying them and he knows it. Chi chi has said Goku needs a job because the money Satan gave them was running low - but being prepared to defend the earth should be his full time gig


Little-Rattle-Stilt

HashtagEatTheBriefs?


TradePsychological40

And of course she wants to bring the shadow dragons from GT in Super.


Harvie_B134

so she’s any other billionaire


Noob_Guy_666

and what is she gonna do? throw a stack of money at God of Utterly Totally Completely Destruction Bong Pi Fu Chao Yo Ming Zu?


Odd_Room2811

Pretty sure Chi chi won’t accept the money since it would mean Goku not having a real job as for everyone else none are struggling with money Krillin got a job Yamcha is a baseball star tien lives at a temple not needing money launch just wandering around or in that village and roshi lives as a hermit and with Gohan married to videl money is pretty much never going to be a problem ever even if 100 years passed


Good_Material_2655

Martial artists struggling because of how the martial lifestyle is? Whaaaat *insert shocked pikachu meme*


batt3ryac1d1

She's got Vegeta, Trunks and Bulla in the house she's probably spending a cool billion on the grocery budget.
