Millionara Vanderbucks (DuckTales)

Wealthy villainess Millionara Vanderbucks

Millionara Vanderbucks (Tress MacNeille) is the main villainess from the original DuckTales series' first season finale, "Till Nephews Do Us Part" (airdate January 1, 1988).

Despite her name, Millionara Vanderbucks is a billionairess and the owner of Webb Corporations, which owned (among other things) a land in Malaysia where the lost relics were hidden. Scrooge McDuck planned to take grand-nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, as well as Webby Vanderquack to the land, but before their planned camping trip, Scrooge planned to buy the land from Webb Corporations. Upon meeting Millionara for the first time, Scrooge becomes smitten by her, leading to a dinner date/business meeting at Scrooge's mansion. The children, as well as Mrs. Beakley (Webby's grandmother) and Duckworth (Scrooge's butler) are all introduced to Millionara, who quickly established her disgust with children before their date, which saw the pair immensely charmed by each other.

The date is a success, as Millionara agrees to sell the land to Scrooge, but once she entered her limousine and left, she revealed her true plan to use Scrooge's affections to her advantage and marry him to gain control of his wealth; all the while cackling over her greedy intentions. Much to the children's dismay, the relationship progresses to the point where Scrooge proposed to Millionara, with their upcoming marriage referred to as a "merger." Later on, the evil Millionara discussed her plans in full detail to one of her workers; not only would she take over Scrooge's mansion and wealth, but her other plans included firing Mrs. Beakley and Duckworth, sending the boys to military school, and sending Webby to a finishing school so she can be groomed in Millionara's image.

On the following day, the boys planned to scare their potential evil step-great-aunt away during their camping trip to the lost relics in Malaysia, doing so by playing various pranks on her. The pranks included handing honey spray to Millionara and posing it as bug repellent (causing wasps to swarm all over her), and disguising themselves as natives to scare her. After seeing that the boys were fooling her, the villainess threatened the triplets, and afterwards, Scrooge scolded his grand-nephews for attempting to break up their relationship. Their wedding (at the Duckburg National Bank) took place in the episode's climax, with Millionara gushing over her nuptials due to the fact that she would so take Scrooge's wealth once they were married.

It was during the vows that Millionara stated that she would take Scrooge for everything he was worth, causing Scrooge to realize that his fiancée was a gold-digging villainess. The wedding was crashed by Scrooge's former flame, Glittering Goldie, who chased Scrooge out of the bank in anger over his relationship, leaving Millionara despondent that her greedy plans failed. However, once Flintheart Glomgold--Scrooge's rival and the world's second-richest duck (after Scrooge)--introduced himself, Millionara set her greedy sights on him, leading to Glomgold running in panic as the villainess chased him.
