Filthy Rich is an Earth pony and Diamond Tiara's father. He is introduced in the episode Family Appreciation Day. His name is based on the phrase filthy rich, referring to someone very wealthy.

HistoryEdit

According to Granny Smith's tale in Family Appreciation Day, his grandfather, Stinkin' Rich, was one of the first ponies to buy Granny Smith's zap apple jam, and started a business by reselling them. In the same episode, it was told that this had helped contribute to the foundation of Ponyville.

In the same episode, Filthy Rich appears on Sweet Apple Acres to politely confirm he will receive the first one hundred jars of zap apple jam from Granny Smith, "as usual". He is later seen giving a presentation about "Rich's Barnyard Bargains" to Apple Bloom's class that bores most of the class to sleep except for Twist and Diamond Tiara. He is again seen at the end of the episode pushing a reluctant Diamond Tiara to Sweet Apple Acres to help other fillies sing to the watering cans, part of the town elder's special process of making zap apple jam. Despite being a rich business pony and his daughter's mean spirit, Filthy is amicable to Apple Bloom, Granny Smith and everyone else.

When Granny Smith calls him by his first name, he explains that he prefers "Rich". Cheerilee initially calls him "Mr. Filthy"; after he looks chidingly at her she immediately corrects herself, and he regains his usual easy going and calm appearance.

  • He looks like one of my family members

  • It's Mitt Romney as a Poney!

  • I am very sympathetic of Mr. Rich and his daughter. Maybe Diamond Tiara is not nice because her parents are divorced or her mother is dead. Mr. Rich would have legit reasons for being so tense about his money. Imagine you are a single father, living in Ponyville, your daughter needs schooling, you have to make a living, your family is used to lavish living. Maybe you should agree. Mr. Rich must be trying to make ends meet.

  • I can't believe that Mr Filthy ohh! I mean Mr Rich would let Diamond Tiara keep being a spoiled brat!

    • He probably doesn't have the time with his business, and worse yet he seems to know it, that's why he tries to be kind and understanding instead of squeezing everyone like a standard 'toon businessman, and why he gets offended so easily by Cheerilee's flub, his daughter probably walks all over him at home...Unfortunately from what we see in Ponyville Confidential, it's not helping at all. His legacy is unfortunately going to be birthing the least ethical, most cruel robber baron Equestria has ever known. DT's only salvation lies in Silver Spoon being her conscience.

  • That they can show a pony who is wealthy through legitimate means in a way that doesn't evoke nonsensical notions of class warfare is further evidence of why MLP is the most awesome shot in the history of the world.

    Clearly, capitalism rules in Equestria.

  • Ok here you go Mr. Filthy!

    Ehm, I prefer Mr. Rich..

  • hes the pony

  • Filthy Rich has a MUCH better attitude towards the Apple Family than Diamond Tiara does.

  • Alek Baldwin Pony?

  • Adam Smith in his Theory of Moral Sentiments made an observation that, businessmen (presumably horses too) tend to become calm and diplomatic This is due to the nature of their occupation, which requires them to interact with others a lot.

  • I heard Peter New(Voice of Big Mac) does the voice for Filthy...er....Mr. Rich.

  • The bags under his eyes say, She took everything but left me with the kid, Well Might as well end it all now rather than later.

  • i bet that FR and DT live in a giant mansion full of money......:(

  • Am I the only one who thought of the Walton's when granny mentioned stinkin rich and barnyard bargains?

  • he is a nice man unlike his... RELITIVES!

  • One person stated that Diamond Tiara's mother could have been a bad influence It makes me wonder was she someone who married into money? Sometimes people who marry into money can be snobbier than people born into money. I know someone who married a doctor from a well-off family and it made her think rather too much of herself. Her daughter isn't quite as bad, but is still a huge snob (she's not nasty like DT though)

    • Her Mom was a gold digger? LOL That would be hilarious! Could you imagine a pony named Gold Digger? :X

    • Now I ain't saying she a gold digger, but she ain't messin' wit' no - SORRY, sorry everyone, I just had to do that.

    • A pony named Gold Digger who is a literal Gold Digger would be hilarious.

      As in, her special talent is mining/detecting precious metals, but she also happens to be the other kind of gold digger as well. That'd be hilarious. xD

  • His business model is that of most Big-Box stores

    by Scharb
  • Me hates him

  • He's very friendly, but mabye he spoiled Diamond Tiara.

  • Yeah, I can understand him wanting to go by his last name instead of his first. Poor guy.

  • If this pony has a good personality how did Diamond Tiara get so stuck up? Was it how much money he had or the fact his father pretty much made the original bussiness there just why is his daughter so much like a bully?

    • I see what you mean.

    • It´s usually the kids with the nicest parents that ends up the worst and become bullies because they are bored of their perfect life and tries to find anything to complain over.

    • I think he might have just spoiled her, that's all.

    • Diamond Tiara must've either come from a broken home, her parents got divorced, her mother died while Tiara was young. Etc.

    • ^Why?

    • My guess is he's been too busy to take care of her and has servants doing it. Going out and about Ponyville is the only time they spend together, and the servants are essentially paid yesmen so she feels as much like royalty as physically possible without being royalty herself. She appears to make a point of doing contradictory actions as well. I don't think DT in family appreciation day actually enjoyed the whole bunnysuit thing, its more likely she did it because it's completely out of character and would fluster her dad. She's a spoiled princess in perpetual rebellion against everything. She reminds me a lot of the evil little girl in Cats Don't Dance, especially when she gets jealous of the CMC. (I think she's jealous because while they're clumsy at some of the things they try, they're very good at a lot of different things that they haven't found as their calling, such as the stage act for the talent show. Since I figure she has servants at home, she doesn't actually do anything herself or know how to do anything herself except bully people into following her orders.)

  • Honestly, Who names their kid Filthy or Stinkin' that's just mean

  • His cutie mark would make Scooge McDuck jealous.

  • I'm kinda mixed about this pony though.
