Story
Richie Rich is a genius who turned vegetables into a clean energy source. As a result, Rich now has over a trillion dollars. Rich lives with his family in a mansion filled with toys and contraptions.
Production
The series was announced in October 2014 as part of an ongoing partnership between Netflix and Dreamworks Animation, in which DreamWorks will create 300 hours of original programming for the service.[5] Unlike the comics where the lead character comes from a wealthy family, Richie Rich has a self-made fortune from an innovative green technology. The series follows his adventures with his new wealth.[2] Brian Robbins (co-founder and CEO of DreamWorks Animation-owned AwesomenessTV), Tim Pollock and Jeff Hodsden (The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody) are executive producers and showrunners.[2] Additionally, AwesomenessTV's Shauna Phelan and Joe Davola serve as executive producers on the series.[2]
