Who is the richest person in each soap?
Out of all the soaps who would be the wealthiest character.
Here's my opinion.
Emmerdale. Lawrence White.
Corrie. Audrey Roberts.
Eastenders. Phil Mitchell.
Hollyoaks. Tony Huchinson.
Neighbours. Paul Robinson.
Home and Away. Brax.

HOs- I would think that Tony has very little considering Diane married him to just get what was his and he gave her the flat and restaurant and could no longer pay Harry's school fees. He is now living in a share house and working as a taxi driver.
Darren (and Jack possibly) is the richest if you include property with the Dog and Darren owns a taxi firm, the Roscoe house and he did own the Loveday flat, but I am not sure if he does anymore. So why is Nancy struggling to pay for their son's school fees?
Trevor and Grace being criminals could be wealthy, they own the flat and the Loft.
And with all the people dying around Tom and leaving him money, he probably has a good amount.
Home and away: Ricky and Kyle (Brax signed over the gym and the restaurant 50/50 to them before he went to jail).
I think Phil's more wealthier than Ian. His businesses are more money making.
Even if the Bistro has a higher turnover than the Salon, wouldn't Audrey be richer than Nick because she owns her own house.
Also what about Callum and Tony?
This is true, plus Phil is likely to have a fair bit of money stashed away from his dodgy dealings something that Ian is unlikely to have.
He sold the Vic too which would've built up his bank balance.
Audrey was left with serious financial problems after Alf died. Prior to Alfeh dying, Audrey had talked him into buying the salon for her as a bit of a 'fun' project. Sadly for Audrey, Alf's life insurance policy had expired and Audrey was left with next to nothing. She then came to the realisation that she would have to actually work in the salon to make ends meet
Coronation Street is a funny one. It's really hard to tell. Characters coming into and then subsequently losing money is such a recurrent theme it's hard to keep track of who has what.
Or of course there's always Rita with her expansive cheque book....
Ian owns the cafe, the chippy, Beales restaurant with Jane as co-owner and his own house which is actually bigger than Phils due to the loft conversion. Ian did own a catering business and several properties but I think that's been forgotten about.
Far as I can see, no mention has been made of any of the survivors, or any of the bereaved receiving a penny. Which seems mighty peculiar.
In an interview on Australian TV before she returned, Kate Ritchie was asked what was the biggest difference between her and Sally. Kate's response was well I certainly couldn't afford a house like Sally's!
In terms of pure cash/bank balance, it's probably Phil as he's always involved in random deals etc.
Neighbours is obviously Paul Robinson.
His 'wealth' is very hand to mouth. He tools around in a 1973 Type R Impreza and lives in a rented flat. He clearly can't afford a decent razor and he only drinks beer ... how wealthy is that?
In EE I'd say Tracy. Works multiple jobs & doesn't appear to go home so no outgoings.
Definitely! She is a dark one.
She was lucky to not lose anything thanks to Richard Hillman's dodgy dealings, although the Duckworths lost a considerable amount by contrast.
I'm sure that she got some sort of compensation/pay out from Ernest's death. She probably has quite a healthy private pension and may well have been able to claim some of Ernest's pensions too depending on what he has. Add Norris's lodging money to the mix and Mrs Bishop is one rich bitch.
Perhaps Rita stole Emily's cheque book back in 2001 and she still hasn't noticed
Nick wasn't badly injured in the tram crash, that was Peter. Nick's injuries were the result of a car crash a couple of years ago and as he was parked in the middle of the road so possibly deemed to be at fault he wouuldn't have got compensation.
I don't remember any mention being made of Peter or Claire Peacock getting compensation for the Tram crash.
Ian would be far wealthier than Phil if the writers didn't suffer from amnesia. Ian used to own a number of rental properties houses and flats which inexplicably got forgotten about. If he sold them surely he would have a large amount of capital which he doesn't appear to have. The flat currently lived in by Martin and Stacey and the house currently owned and lived in by Phil and Sharon, to name a couple were both part of Ian's property empire which got forgotten about.
Phil on the other hand is the complete opposite while Ian loses property and capital without any explanation Phil acquires it. Five years ago he was a homeless, penniless crack addict. He then stole £15K from Roxy and with that measly £15K he was able to purchase his home that he currently lives in, the arches and the R&R within the space of a couple of months. Since then he's had an endless supply money to throw around.
So in the real world Ian would be the wealthy one however in the magical land of Walford where Phil is king and nothing makes sense Phil is the wealthy one.
Didn't Tom Cunningham also inherit a fair amount after Max's death from life insurance, not to mention the flat? Then I think Steph left him her share too. Plus I think he inherited money from his parents' deaths. It is probably being held in trust, but I should imagine he will be quite well off once he comes of age...... if the writers remember these details.
Ive stated that many times and how CS never seems to brighten characters lives with a compo payout. LIke the girl who got injured in Steves minibus accident , she would have got a 6 figure sum in court.
Maybe it's Ken on Corrie?
He doesn't display his wealth but I don't think he 's badly-off at all.
