Is the tooth fairy rich

Answer 1

• Yes

• Not likely. Although her source of income is unspecified, there seems to be a major takeout of her money with all the money she gives to kids who lose their teeth. Given the amount of kids in the world, the tooth fairy is probably not that rich. She may have a steady income which is an exact supply of the money needed to give in exchange for teeth.

• She started out slow, only providing a quarter or so for a tooth. But it is my opinion (since no studies that I am aware of recorded monetary transactions of the elusive tooth fairy) that her income has indeed risen over the past couple of decades. If you compare the quarter or rare fifty cents given for a standard to hefty tooth "back then" to the various denominations of paper bills, candy, toys given today, it is quite clear that the tooth fairy could at the very least be described as affluent (adjusting for inflation). Her income would also not be subject to economic fluctuations - kids will always be losing teeth. The question of tooth quality would also have to be addressed. Let's face it, the teeth of kids these days are in a constant state of sugar coatedness. Will the value of these teeth depreciate to the disadvantage of the tooth fairy?
  

• None of the above take into account the value of the raw material to the tooth fairy. The ability of the aforementioned trader to deal in the futures markets, given her guaranteed supply of raw material, makes her a favored player.
