Indexer Notes
This story is not to be confused with another Richie Rich story with the same title, originally published in Little Dot #64 and later reprinted in Richie Rich Millions #12. That story also features Gloria but recounts a different series of events.
This story is basically a rehash of "Say Rich Cheese" (published in Richie Rich Success Stories #69 and later reprinted in Richie Rich Diamonds #53), only in this story she receives a golden diamond-studded film projector, and in the other story she receives a picture of Richie in a gold and jewel-studded frame.
