Most Justice League Members have straightforward names that directly reflect their aesthetics or powers. However, one Teen Titan has suggested that a classic leaguer’s moniker may have a different meaning than what everyone has always assumed. Although there is no confirmation if the theory is correct, one thing is certain: the hero whose codename is in question will undoubtedly be less happy with this new interpretation.
It’s safe to say that Green Arrow is currently richer than Batman, but perhaps not by much.
Mark Waid and Emmanuela Lupacchino S World’s Finest: Teen Titans #1 gives the original teen superhero team a modern-day reimagining, bringing back iconic member Dana “wonder girl” Troy, Dick “Robin” Grayson, Roy “fast” Harper, Wally “Baby Flash” West, Karen “bumblebee” Beecher and Garth, aka Aqualad, reunite for an epic retelling of their earliest adventures.
Although not an official member of the team, Charlie Parker, the retired Golden Eagle, serves as the Titans’ tech support and is one of their closest friends. During a conversation between Charlie and Karen, the topic of Green Arrow, Speedy’s mentor, comes up, prompting Charlie mentioned Oliver’s codename with his immense wealth.

Charlie Parker said that Oliver Queen’s hero name is a reference to his wealth
During Karen and Charlie’s conversation, Karen expresses her disbelief and awe that Green Arrow is the Teen Titans’ benefactor, noting how he funded their entire compound and provided everything the young heroes could need. in response, Charlie says, “Maybe that’s why they call him Green.” This comment directly references the green color of US. it. Dollar billssuggesting that the “green” In Green Arrow’s name refers to money. Charlie’s statement highlights Oliver’s immense wealth, underscoring his status as one of the richest heroes in the DC Universe and a billionaire.
Although Charlie’s comment was a joke, it still provides an oddly fitting explanation for Oliver Queen’s moniker, even if it isn’t accurate. Despite his billionaire status, Oliver is known in the DC Universe and among fans for his disdain for other billionaires, despite being one himself. therefore, He would never choose a codename that references his wealth, Especially since his fortune is often a sore spot for him unless he uses it to improve the world or support his heroic endeavours. Unfortunately, neither Oliver nor Roy were around when Charlie made this comment; Seeing their reactions would have been fun.

However, in Batman #149, Bruce recently regained his billionaire status by discovering the secret funds of Zur-en-Arah and claiming them for himself, giving him a minimum net worth of 3.1 billion. Although Oliver Queen’s exact net worth is currently unknown, it has historically been on the high end of 3 billion at its lowest.
