Dec 26, 2016 at 8:11 comment added starpilotsix And again, Quark thought Zek would buy the bar for a fraction of what it was worth (and Zek jokingly threatened at the end doing it). Either Quark is ignorant about how Ferengi business is done, or this is something the Nagus could do.. if you can buy successful businesses for fraction of market value, not to mention probably having a considerable wealth to start with (Zek might have chosen his successors for spurious reasons but that's no reason to assume his predecessor did), yeah, you're going to rise to the top pretty quickly.
Dec 26, 2016 at 8:05 comment added starpilotsix Quark was Nagus for, what, a matter of days? And not even as a real Nagus, but as part of a ruse the real Nagus had employed. Any deal he made was invalidated, so yeah, he went back to running a bar. Zek, on the other hand was excited about going on his first vacation in 85 years. Even if some of that was pre-Nagus, he had the time, ruthlessness, and intelligence to amass a huge wealth power base.
Dec 26, 2016 at 1:04 comment added Valorum @Praxis - Actually one of the key arguments against this answer is contained in this answer. Quark becomes Nagus, then goes back to owning a bar. Even if becoming Nagus is the keys to the kingdom for Ferengi commerce, it would take decades to amass the sort of wealth that allows you to buy a planet or a moon.

Dec 24, 2016 at 19:09 comment added Praxis I've upvoted. Reasonable speculation is always welcome and you make a strong case for the Nagus being the wealthiest.

Dec 24, 2016 at 16:19 comment added Valorum I've downvoted. The quotes you've provided show that the Nagus is wealthy (and has the capacity to generate more wealth) but they certainly don't indicate that he's the wealthiest Ferengi of them all.
