Richest duck in the world

It was in 1947 that Scrooge became the richest duck in the world. Ten years earlier, he had decided to go on an adventure with his sisters who had left him during a trip to Africa. While Scrooge was stealing the African tribes, one of them refused to sell him their gold mines for a simple coin. Scrooge then did the unthinkable by paying mercenaries to raze the village. For the next ten years, he traveled the world and amassed a fortune. In 1947, when he returned to Donaldville as a hero, he had become harsh and cynical after his years in the wilderness. He rejected the crowd's offers and insulted his sisters, who decided to leave, never to return.This part of Picsou's youth openly criticizes capitalism and the actions of Westerners.
