Charles Montgomery Burns

Charles Montgomery Burns is a Turkey Vulture and the owner and operator of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Mr. Burns frequently orders his aide, Waylon Smithers, Jr., to "release the hounds," so as to let his vicious guard dogs attack any intruders, enemies or even invited guests. Mr. Burns is Springfield's richest and most powerful citizen. His net worth has been stated to be in the billion-dollar range, although at one point it slipped to "only" $996 million, which led to his being demoted from Billionaire Camp to Millionaire Camp. Burns uses his power and wealth to do whatever he wants, usually without regard for consequences and without interference from the authorities. His fortune was once estimated to be $3 billion.
