=== Scrooge McDuck Universe ===
{{Main|Donald Duck universe}}
The popularity of Scrooge McDuck comics spawned an entire mythology around the character, including new supporting characters, adventures, and life experiences as told by numerous authors. The popularity of the [[Duck universe]] – the fandom term for the associated intellectual properties that have developed from Scrooge's stories over the years, including the city of [[Duckburg]] – has led Don Rosa to claim that "in the beginning Scrooge [owed] his existence to his nephew Donald, but that has changed and today it's Donald that [owes] his existence to Scrooge."

In addition to the many [[List of characters from the Scrooge McDuck universe|original and existing characters]] in stories about Scrooge McDuck, authors have frequently led historical figures to meet Scrooge over the course of his life. Most notably, Scrooge has met US president [[Theodore Roosevelt]]. Roosevelt and Scrooge would meet each other at least three times: in the Dakotas in 1883, in Duckburg in 1902, and in Panama in 1906.

Based on writer [[Don Rosa]]'s ''[[The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck]]'', a popular timeline chronicling Scrooge's adventures was created consisting of the most important "facts" about Scrooge's life.

In 2014, composer [[Tuomas Holopainen]] of [[Nightwish]] released a conceptual album based on the book, ''[[The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck]]''. The album is titled ''[[Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge]]''.
