I just want to know how ridiculously wealthy a fortress can get. Please post screenshots of your status screen and see who has the most wealth right now.

[Goblins]

No screenshots for me. 

I did hear about somebody having over 1 mil wealth on the forums somewhere.  I know that once you start ripping out artifacts it can be quite easy to get wealth.

Here's my fort right now:

I don't mean to spoil you victory, but

Spoiler: 36 million (click to show/hide)

This fortress is pretty young. Most of this wealth actually comes from a single artifact adamantine statue. (with like a bazillion gems in it).
When statues are built, they count as furniture, displayed items and architecture. So I basically got three times the value out of this single absurdly valuable artifact.

That's pretty awesome. I only just struck candy in this fort, and used all of it to make two mail shirts lol

I'm a little terrified to dig more of it, I've never really fought clowns.

This makes the circus alot less terrifying

I usually hit about 6 million by the time I'm bored. Encrusting every single furniture item requires so much micromanagement...

The blue artifacts are just named regular weapons and shields, none of them are above 2000 urists.
Got a baron with legitimate progression, however I got a king through family succession. Both his wife and child died early in the forts history due to an unfortunate cave-in, his only remaining daughter isn't a resident of my fort, not sure if she's alive or dead... I hope she's alive because I would love to get a count, and duke for once...

Its not that hard if you focus on churning out things that are valuable. Iron/copper trap weapons and golden statues or perhaps massing gold/silver crafts all are good ways of exploding fort wealth. Just focus on getting to the magma and getting some magma forges/smelters and its pretty quick as well. Of course lucking out or starting with a weaponsmith/metalcrafter with high skill sure helps as well.

Even wooden spiked balls can easily end up being worth 1k if your carpenter has good skill. Simply because that 126x Value is so damn good.

Besides you dont need much of a defense if your fort has a long corridor completely smack full of serrated iron discs and spiked balls.

Wealth is pretty easy to accrue if you set your mind to it. I'm currently at 22 million created wealth and 58 million exported wealth, making 80 million total wealth. And I'm not even really trying, most of that is just prepared meals.

edit for screenshot:

[origamiscienceguy]

can anyone top 36 million?

I would just like to comment on the names of some of your artifacts, The Simple Climax, the Eater of Saints and Holdrumour the Momentous Violator. Sometimes I wonder if the name generator is truly random. Also, Noiselesstouch the Citadel of Neutrality sounds like some NPC fortress in a RPG.

I remember a having fort with 9 million and artifacts turned off. An interesting observation was that I couldnt get a population higher than 460, no new migrants would come. I wonder what is the relationship between wealth and max possible population.

[FallenAngel]

I once had a fortress with a value over 100 million.
I used DFHack and the Planepacked glitch, so it doesn't really count.
Around 90% of that wealth was from one artifact.

Here's my last fort after corking the HFS:

Some of the precious stuff got vaporized by the clowns but I'm not sure if it shows in the wealth totals.
