With some help from Monopoly, even little children can quickly realize how capitalism works. As a representation of this, the mascot of Monopoly is Rich Uncle Pennybags, who is portrayed as a senior businessman with a mustache, bow tie, morning suit, and a top hat. However, the sources say that this man's looks may have been inspired by the famous businessman J.P. Morgan. No one knows for sure what kind of techniques this man used, but before the Monopoly game was released, he was claimed to be one of the most influential businessmen in the United States. Could it be that the monocle that he always wore was his talisman and helped with business? We cannot tell, but this, together with a hat and mustache, helped to shape the image of Monopoly for sure.
