I read an article on Mario back when I first discovered Wikipedia and it mentioned how the Mario franchise makes a lot of money. Saying that at the time it had a net of over a billion dollars.
But this was mentioned on an article for the character of Mario, which combined with the internet still being pretty new at the time, especially for me, I thought that the article meant that the Mario character earned a net of over a billion dollars from being the owner of the only toy company in the Mushroom Kingdom (Mario vs. Donkey Kong is what caused me to think this).
I've long since realized what the article meant, but it's an amusing moment to look back on.
