An animated version of the character appeared in the TV series ''[[DuckTales (1987 TV series)|DuckTales]]'', which started airing on September 18, 1987. The Second Richest Duck was among the series' most prominent characters, and this helped his introduction to a wider audience. But some drastic changes came to the character. He lives an elaborate but decaying mansion in Duckburg, is depicted as wearing a traditional Scottish [[kilt]]. His voice actor [[Hal Smith (actor)|Hal Smith]] gave him a gravelly and recognisably Scottish accent. No reference to South Africa is ever made. The previously unaffiliated [[Beagle Boys]] were now depicted as working for him on an occasional basis. In "Attack of the Metal Mites", Glomgold sends the metal mites to eat whole money from Scrooge's bin. Glomgold almost succeeds when [[Fenton Crackshell]] stopped the metal mites and the last ones retrieved by Dijon spread in Glomgold's office. The biggest humiliation of all this is the fact Scrooge finds a way to earn honest money with the metal mites captured by Fenton. In ""The Golden Goose" (Part 2)" after stealing a magical Golden Goose, Glomgold seems to have beaten Scrooge as "The Richest Duck In the World" until he is turned into gold himself.	

Glomgold is also a recurring [[antagonist]] in the ''DuckTales'' comic book series, notably the series ''[[Scrooge's Quest]]''. In the final chapter of that series, "All That Glitters Is Not Glomgold", Glomgold has taken advantage of Scrooge's long absence and distraction to buy out all of Scrooge's assets and seize control of Duckburg. While Scrooge was a more benevolent businessman, Glomgold is determined to soak the city's people for as much money as he can, charging exorbitant prices for food and services, while keeping their lives as closely regimented as possible. Scrooge cannily uses Glomgold's own [[paranoia]] against him, wandering around town, making apparently innocuous inspections of Glomgold's businesses, and causing Glomgold to tear apart his own holdings, looking for Scrooge's sabotage. By the end of the comic, Glomgold has destroyed all of his assets in Duckburg, and Scrooge has regained his own fortune. As Scrooge explains to his nephews, "Glomgold is so evil and sneaky that he thinks everyone is as evil and sneaky as he is." Yet, in the final pages of the comic, Glomgold seems to be perfectly content, living in a wooden shanty in Duckburg's slums, sharing a meager meal with one of his former clerks. As Glomgold explains, now that he has nothing left, there's nothing further that Scrooge can do to him, and Glomgold is looking forward to making himself rich again, since making a fortune is much more satisfying than having one. In this he reflects much of Scrooge's own philosophy.
 
In the [[Walt Disney|Disney]] series ''[[Darkwing Duck]]'' episode "[[In Like Blunt]]", Glomgold makes a cameo appearance-along with the [[Beagle Boys]] and [[Magica De Spell]]-as a bidder for the secret [[S.H.U.S.H.]] agent list.

Flintheart also appears in the 1989 [[DuckTales (video game)|''DuckTales'' video game]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] (NES). After Scrooge completes all the regular levels, Flintheart challenges him to a race in which the winner will take all of the treasure Scrooge has acquired. Glomgold also appears in the 1993 video game sequel ''[[DuckTales 2]]'', also for the NES, once again trying to obtain the treasures that Scrooge had collected and also kidnaps Webby in order to get Scrooge to hand over the treasure. When he does Glomgold is revealed to be the final boss the D-1000. In ''[[DuckTales: Remastered]]'', Glomgold is voiced by [[Brian George]] (Hal Smith had died in 1994), and his role is greatly expanded. In ''Remastered'', Glomgold attacks Scrooge in the Himalayas, attempting to shoot Launchpad out of the skies, but is thwarted by Scrooge. He appears again on the Moon, attempting to collect the Green Cheese of Longevity before Scrooge does. Later, he forms an uneasy alliance with Scrooge to help him rescue his nephews from Magica De Spell, but later reveals that he was in cahoots with her all along in order to get Scrooge's Number One Dime from him for her own purposes. As in the original, Scrooge must race Glomgold and Magica in order to reclaim his Number One Dime in the end. Glomgold appeared in ''Ducktales: Scrooge's Loot'', and also as Boss in the RPG card game titled ''The Duckforce Rises'' for Android and iOS.

Glomgold is the main antagonist in the PC game ''[[DuckTales: The Quest for Gold]]''. In the intro scene, he barges into Scrooge's office, lamenting about he is tired being the second richest duck in the world, and challenges Scrooge to a wealth contest sponsored by Dime Magazine: in the next 30 days, the one who collects the most treasure shall be the Duck of the Year. The contest is held in the Isle of Macaroon, which is a homage to the four-parter "Catch as Cash Can" episode, except that the contest gives 30 days, not 10. Just like in the episodes, Glomgold hires the Beagle Boys against Scrooge and his nephews, and will constantly try to race Scrooge to the treasure locations, or snatching treasure from other locations. The ultimate goal of the game is to collect more money, thus, beating Glomgold and becoming Duck of the Year.

Glomgold appeared on the 2012 list of the ''[[Forbes Fictional 15]]'', a compilation of the wealthiest characters in fiction. A [[gold as an investment|spike in the price of gold]] during the late 2000s and early 2010s allowed Glomgold to become the second-wealthiest fictional character. His nemesis, Scrooge McDuck (who has appeared in most of the ''Fictional 15'' lists to date), surpassed him in the 2013 list, in which Glomgold did not appear.

Glomgold, now voiced by [[Keith Ferguson (voice actor)|Keith Ferguson]], returns as Scrooge's nemesis in the [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|2017 reboot]] of ''DuckTales''. While Glomgold now appears much stouter than in previous versions, his outfit and personality remains relatively unchanged from the 1987 version.<ref>{{cite web|last=Speelman |first=Tom |url=https://www.cbr.com/disney-ducktales-reboot-flintheart-glomgold/ |title=How Disney's DuckTales Reboot Changed Flintheart Glomgold |publisher=CBR |date=2019-07-31 |access-date=2020-04-23}}</ref> He is also the head of Glomgold Industries, through which he builds up his fortune through personal branding and making products as cheaply as possible.
