How Rich Is Every Warhammer 40k Faction, Really?

The Orks pay in teeth that rot. The Drukhari pay in slaves. The Imperium owns a million worlds and pays in people. Every Warhammer 40k faction, ranked from poorest to richest, by what it holds and what it can actually spend. Ten factions, one question. The Tyranids strip a planet bare and leave the promethium in the ground. Chaos has no industry and raids to replace its dead slaves. Ork money crumbles if you keep it, so nobody saves and nobody starves. The Aeldari were the richest civilisation in history, and their wealth gave birth to the god that ate them. The Necrons have forever and spend it on plays that last a decade. The Mechanicus owns a complete STC it cannot open. Then the Imperium, with its Rogue Traders, its Navigator Houses and a Church so rich that Goge Vandire took it over, and the people it calls Squats, who take apart newborn stars and sell what comes out. The order is our argument. Every fact behind it comes from the sources listed below. If you had to keep your fortune in one faction, which one would you trust with it, and why? If you own the codexes and we got something wrong, correct it in the comments and we will pin it. 1:07 Number 10 · the Tyranids 3:00 Number 9 · Chaos 4:55 Number 8 · the Orks 7:09 Number 7 · the Drukhari 9:11 Number 6 · the t'au 11:20 Number 5 · the aeldari 13:15 Number 4 · the Necrons 15:24 Number 3 · the Adeptus Mechanicus 17:28 Number 2 · the Imperium 22:58 Number 1 · the Votann ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Unofficial fan-made channel.
