Artemis Fowl II - Valuables and Possessions

Valuables and Possessions

Artemis has accessed many possessions for implementing his plots throughout the series. Those include his computers and the cache of Lower Elements Police equipment collected during the events of the first book. One of his most prized possessions given to him by Holly Short at the end of The Arctic Incident was a fairy coin that she shot a hole through using the trigger finger he and Julius Root helped her to heal, to remind him "that deep beneath the layers of deviousness......a spark of decency". Another gift from Holly Short is a fairy communicator Artemis has disguised as a ring.

Possessions used in his exploits also include Fowl Manor, a late medieval, early modern castle on 200 acres (0.81 km2), a Learjet (which he allegedly flies by himself with no legal pilot's license), a Bentley Red Label, a Sikorsky helicopter, and a solar powered Cessna aircraft. He also considers his collection of Impressionist art to be the only material asset worth traveling in a time stream for.

Artemis's exact cash worth is uncertain, but he is known to have stolen approximately $14 million worth of gold from the fairy ransom fund, in the original novel. In the third book, after Jon Spiro's attempt on his life, Artemis retaliated by completely draining his accounts. He donated the bulk of the money to Amnesty International, but chose to keep ten percent of it (about $300 million) for himself.

He has appeared on the Forbes Fictional 15 three times, placing third on the list in 2011, with a net worth of approximately $13,500,000,000.
