redtree Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I've just watched the Hobbit and saw all that gold coins and stacks of diamond beneath the lonely mountain. There are so many of it i'm sure it's beyond tens of million, even Smaug could hid beneath the coins and there's more space for more coins and precious stones. Like Erebor, Casterly Rock also has working gold mine and it has worked for thousands of years and has never ran out. Is CR as rich as Erebor ? If Tywin is richer, shouldn't 6 million be small problem for him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion of the West Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I think the Lannisters could be compared to Smaug, but I think their wealth may be more diverse than just a big mountain of gold and jewels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGimletEye Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I'm not sure. But, it would be interesting to see Tywin and Smaug get into a pissing contest about whose got more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fencer Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Smaug's hoard is insanely large. Consider that all the gold ever mined in the (our) world would fill about 3.5 Olympic sized swimming pools (25 x 50 x 2 meters) and I suspect that Smaug is sitting on (or sleeping under) more than that. End point: dwarven populations are bad for the market value of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime4Brienne Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I think Smaug is probably richer. He's enormous and his hoard is even more enormous. It's hard to know just how rich the Lannisters REALLY are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarkofWinterfell Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I am not sure how much gold Smaug has but the Lannister's gold is never explicitly stated. The show seems to imply they've run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Has to be Smaug, if the Lannisters had money they wouldn't have all the problems with the Iron Bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevan considers using Lannister gold to pay off the debts. The crown has trouble with the Iron Bank not House Lannister. But unless they send Tyrion mining in the bowels of the Rock they can't match Erebor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordMiddleFinger Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Tywin shits gold. It stands to reason that he must be the richer of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mountain That Flies Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Forbes Magazine did an estimate once on Smaug's wealth, and it was somewhere around 40 trillion dollars (the calculation was done based on his size compared to the size of the treasure horde). I sincerely doubt the Lannisters are that rich, as that would put them at more money than every major bank in Planetos combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
