10 Things Everyone Forgets About Nightwing

10. Grayson Is A Man Of Means

In Nightwing #78, it was revealed that not only was Alfred Pennyworth a billionaire but he left it all to Dick Grayson because he knew that, of all of the children that he had helped raise, Grayson would use the money to help the most people. And he has begun to do just that, creating a foundation in Alfred’s name, creating a park, and addressing the city’s massive homeless problem.

But Dick has always been someone who has had financial stability thanks to those around him. His family had created a trust fund for him, which the Wayne Foundation’s Chief Financial Officer Lucius Fox invested and turned into a small fortune. It was nowhere near Bruce Wayne’s fortune but it did allow Grayson to make several key purchases that further funded his exploits.

Dick was able to buy the Haley Circus when it was about to go under and help it come back to financial prominence. It is now a thriving touring circus again and provides him with income. He also secretly purchased his entire apartment building at 1013 Parkthorne Ave in Bludhaven. The tenants include his one-time girlfriend and landlord Bridgett Clancy, former villain Amygdala and former Golden Age hero turned author Jonathan Law, the first Tarantula. The rent from the apartment, funds from the circus and other investments support and maintain his equipment as Nightwing.
