Manhwa characters often exhibit unique traits. Some are eccentric, others carry troubled pasts, while some become fixated on certain things. Among these fixations, many characters are most drawn towards wealth. This obsession frequently manifests in various ways, leading to amusing misinterpretations and satirical predicaments.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but wonder: What’s with these characters being so fixated on their coin purses? Let’s dive into their stories and see why they’re hooked on the almighty dollar. From a would-be hero juggling college expenses, to a demonic overlord with an insatiable appetite for horse races, here are some of the most money-obsessed characters in Manhwa you wouldn’t want to cross paths with.

Once Seojoon gained entry into the Transcension Academy app, his life underwent a profound transformation. Before this point, he wasn’t as fixated on wealth as he is now. Yet, each lesson taught by the academy’s instructors requires payment, and to amplify his powers as an Awakener, he finds himself requiring considerable amounts of money.

Seojoon has reached a stage where each Wong he acquires from missions or competitions significantly contributes to his objectives, and this sparks great enthusiasm in him for earning more and more money. His friends have begun to perceive this aspect of his as concerning and often refer to him as “money-obsessed” whenever he expresses interest in making money. They’ve even gone so far as to use Euro banknotes to rouse him from a coma, assuming the scent of money might be enough to revive him.

4 Grid (Overgeared)

He Just Cant Avoid Liking Sparkly Golden Things

In terms of individuals fixated on wealth, Grid (Greed) from Overgeared serves as an embodiment of the term. After obtaining his Legendary Blacksmith class, he has become consumed with crafting the most robust items and potent enchantments. Given that this endeavor necessitates a substantial amount of in-game currency, it essentially equates to real-world funds. It’s not uncommon for people to question his mental state due to this relentless pursuit.

Grid never passes up an opportunity to sell his items at a premium. He understands all too well that finding quality items, let alone powerful equipment like what he can create, is tough in Satisfaction. Despite this, he’s often willing to lend a helping hand to his guild mates. He crafts top-tier gear for them, not as charity, but at a fair price or in exchange for valuable materials that he can use for further experimentation.

To achieve this, he must consistently hone his magical skills through practice, combat, cultivation, and investing a significant amount of Yuan on magic resources.

Since I unlocked my Summoning Element, I’ve found myself fixated on money for an unusual reason: I have a charming little Fairy named Flamme-Belle who’s become like my cherished daughter. She thrives on Fire Element stones to fuel her growth and enhance her powers. Consequently, I’m determined to gather more wealth and magical artifacts that I can trade for Fire Stones to nourish my precious girl.

In essence, Chen Yuan is portrayed as a despicable character throughout this narrative. He’s not merely fixated on accumulating wealth and power; his disregard for women extends to treating them as mere financial resources. By engaging in deceitful relationships with multiple women, serving as a sugar daddy, he manages to generate more income. Essentially, Chen Yuan’s life revolves around luring women under false pretenses, exploiting their emotions for his dysfunctional wealth-generating scheme.

As he increases his investments, his earnings grow substantially. Not only does he accumulate an enormous wealth through assets, dividends, and other resources, but also gains significant authority and prestige in society. From a typical, timid college student to the most sought-after bachelor in town, Chen Yuan has undergone quite a transformation – all thanks to his extravagant spending habits. However, there lies a dilemma: how long can he maintain his secretive lifestyle and solitary existence amidst growing interest from numerous women? As more women plot their marriage proposals towards him, Chen Yuan will eventually be cornered and compelled to make a choice. The question remains: which woman will have the ability to subdue this powerful figure?

1 Merlin Lucifer (The Demon King Who Lost His Job)

Gambler, Dine’n’dasher, Wanted Man, Lousy Husband

Genre: Martial Arts, Adventure, Action, Fantasy
Author: Tang Li Shui
Artist: Sf Qing Xiaoshuo, Ye Wu
Number of chapters: 406
Status: Ongoing

Once a complex character, both revered and reviled, Merlin Lucifer – the Former Demon King – chose to abandon his position as the First Demon Lord, Lucifer the Third. Instead, he opted for a life of leisurely vices such as gambling and revelry across various continents. This graphic novel series features characters you might recognize, blending real-world history with fantasy and martial arts. Unsurprisingly, it is revealed that Merlin has an outstanding warrant in Scotland, Britain, Avalon, and Mercia.

In the manhwa, the protagonist, Alice, frequently grapples with his debts due to his mischievous antics, pursuing him relentlessly in an attempt to settle them. Fortunately, he also goes by the name Elgin Swordsman and enjoys the goodwill of multiple kings (including some queens), along with various rewards that partially cover the expenses of their arranged marriage. However, Merlin invariably causes more problems or debts, much to Alice’s dismay, given her honest and virtuous nature. He seems blissfully unaware of her struggles, making it hard to watch.
