Since we always see shit like "They come to the village to buy this and that" from official sources like Perfect Memento and Curiosities of Lotus Asia...

Who has the most money in Gensokyo?

Remilia? Eirin? Rinnosuke? Someone else?

[Anonymous No.]

Probably someone who can just take money from anywhere, any time without much trouble.

She gets money from humans who wish to pay her tribute.

Remillia makes money by abusing Sakuya's time hax to create vintage wines in days, of course this is a secret otherwise it would devalue her product but otherwise the finished bottle of wine is indistinguishable from real vintage wine in every way. She sends Sakuya to sell the wine or trade it in exchange for goods and services.

The grapes are grown on a small vineyard on the SDM grounds tended by Meiling and Flandre if she's been good as a reward.

The wine themselves are still technically "old"

Gensokyo doesn't have money as we know it. Their official currency is rape dollars.

[Anonymous of Austria No.]

Eirin's medicine is expensive, but she doesn't sell too much.

Since Remilia had her mansion's furniture (not Sakuya) made by the Humans in the village, it's likely that she's rich.

pray tell good sir how does one cum about these rape dollars ?

Not sure Gensokyo really seems to have that much of a currency in it's trade system, when you've only got one large town the chances are most of them trade services and goods, using currency from the time they were cut off from the outside world where needed for convenience.

Sakuya probably traded some old furniture or jewellery for a reasonable amount of the local currency and uses it when appropriate. They may even make some extra money waging on Meiling's fights with locals who want to prove themselves... but they don't seem like they would need much from the town, just enough to buy something that catches Remilia's eye on her whims. They are mostly self sufficient.

Yukari can easily get most of what she needs from the outside without too much of a fuss, but obviously keeps enough money or equivalent trade goods for Ran to shop in the village with when needed.

Eirin actually works and has a trade to sell. Reisen sells products she makes, all of which have a excellent reputation for doing exactly what they should. They'll easily have enough to never really worry about money.

Not sure how Rinnosuke works, he seems to prefer not to sell anything at all but at least he seems somewhat self sufficient. Wouldn't surprise me if he made enough to live and run his shop through some second means like selling things from the Magical Forest.

Marisa is self sufficient and doesn't often actually pay for things when she wants them. She'll trade if she has to.

Reimu doesn't seem to pay people too often, maybe in the village she does but not Rinnosuke. She clearly gets some donations and can live a modest life.

Richest in Gensokyo doesn't really matter, most of these people don't even need money. It's a small community and most will get by living off the land and trading for other goods.

My scientific logic says that vampires can feed on semen in place of blood.

Since Rinnosuke is half a generic unspecified youkai, it's possible he forages and doesn't need money to feed himself.
And since Gensokyo doesn't have much in the way of a central government, land tax or rent probably don't exist. So even if he doesn't sell anything, the shop keeps running.
Just a theory, though.

Rinnosuke does sell stuff, he just keeps for himself whatever strikes his fancy. http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Article_and_Interview:_Rinnosuke

He's sort of like Ariel in that he collects stuff from the outside world and then tries to figure out what they're for.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2072199
Well, he knows what they're for, that's his superpower. What he tries to figure out is how to use them.

Why is Remilia so unattractive.

Also, Suika has her gourd and is therefore self-sufficient.

I wonder about Aya, though. Did anyone actually pay her for her newspaper? I mean, ever? (Maybe she gets the money for NOT publishing specific articles...)
