In that story Scrooge discovers the first coin ever minted by Croesus, who is said to have been richer than Scrooge. He gives the coin to Magica, who creates an amulet from it. An amulet created with first coin of the richest man ever is said to give Magica the powers of Midas. The amulet made of Croesus's coin does not give her that power, so it's proven that Scrooge was richer than Croesus.

No it doesn't - in fact it proves nothing. This idea is based on the assumption Scrooge is the richest man ever, which he may not be. Scrooge could just as well be poorer than Croesus for the amulet to not have power. --90.240.34.177 03:10, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
