Ri¢hie Ri¢h

1994

Billionaire heir Richie Rich has it all, including Reggie Jackson as a batting coach and Claudia Schiffer as a personal trainer -- but no playmates. What's more, scoundrel Laurence Van Dough is scheming to take over the family empire. Uh-oh! Enter faithful butler Cadbury to save the day.

Ages 8+Source checked

Why this age? PG-rated family adventure with cartoonish peril, kidnapping-related tension, slapstick action, and mild language. Younger children may need reassurance during threats to Richie’s parents. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
