== Charactah Account ==
Burns is an extremely elderly (and extremely wealthy) man and the corrupt, malevolent owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He always has his eyes on the greatest profit to himself.
Burn's personality classification is that he is a sadistic, cold, life-hating ecological terrorist with a sadistic passion for autarchy. He has an incurable process addiction of devising destructive, disruptive, life-hating plots for his own gain. Mr Burns personally enjoys the dehumanization of new, creative, bright employees because he ignores how that dehumanization relates to his profits. Mr. Burns' main conflict with himself is his musculoskeletal condition is so bad, that he is constantly achy and he is generally of poor and low character.
Burns never took his billions of dollars to buy any class for himself. He embodies a number of sometimes accurate stereotypes about Corporate America, as he has an unquenchable desire to increase his own wealth and power. Burns also embodies the stereotype of a manager by forgetting his employees' names, though this can be attributed to his senility. Burns is also unconcerned for their safety and well-being.

== Trivia ==
* One of Burn's middle names is Schicklgruber. This was the maiden name of Adolf Hitler's paternal grandmother, who later married a man named Hitler who legitimized her son (Hitler's father).
** Burn's other middle name, Plantagenet, was the family name of a branch of the British Royal family in the 1300s. Supposedly, the last Plantagenet was King Richard III who was killed in battle by Henry Tudor. This implies that Mr. Burns is a secret descendant of King Richard.
* Like the inspirations for his voice, Lionel Barrymore and Ronald Reagan, Mr. Burns is a Republican. However, Barry Diller, the inspiration for Mr. Burns' physical appearance, has long been a Democrat and is even regarded as a close friend of the Clinton family.
* One major connection between Mr. Burns' vocal inspirations Lionel Barrymore and Ronald Reagan was their appearance in the 1941 MGM remake of The Bad Man, which saw Reagan play the hero against a Pancho Villa-like Mexican bandit. This was released eight years before Barrymore's death and years before Reagan, who was once a staunch New Deal Democrat, shifted towards the right wing in the 1950s. Despite Reagan's more liberal political views at the time, the film appealed to conservatives who embraced the Mexican bandit stereotype.
* On the Simpson family tree, Mr. Burns is a distant relative of the Simpsons by marriage.
* In his cabinet, Mr. Burns has a secret safe that is hidden underneath a painting that looks almost alike A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Manet, except the waitress has Burns' head. Inside of the safe, Burns hides his Last Will and a human heart in a jar.
* Mr. Crocker from The Fairly OddParents is based on Mr. Burns (in terms of both personality and voice), because Butch Hartman is a fan of The Simpsons.
* In the episode "The Burns and the Bees", Mr. Burns' net worth is arguably $1,800,037,022. However, he lost money, and by the time of the ending of the episode, decreased to $996,036,000.
* Despite being the secondary antagonist of The Simpsons Movie, Mr. Burns was never seen interacting with Russ Cargill.
* In "When Flanders Failed", it is revealed that Mr. Burns is left-handed. However, he can sometimes be seen writing with his right hand. He could possibly be ambidextrous (can use both hands for tasks).
* In more recent seasons, Burns is completely helpless without Smithers.
* A running gag in the show is Mr. Burns always asking to Smithers who Homer is (even though he is a long-time worker in his company) when he is seen by him, and after the latter's answer, he replies by saying "Simpson, eh?".
* There are many possible occurrences that helped Burns gain his wealth. One is that he was raised by a billionaire and inherited his wealth. Another is that he amassed his fortune through his business ownership, from a germ warfare laboratory to a nuclear power plant providing a whole city with energy. It is also possible that the song, White Christmas, was the true reason for Burns's wealth.
* Most fans consider Burns as the main antagonist of the show.
* Mr. Burns is little more than a skeleton with skin, a circulatory system, lungs, and a brain. His weight comes in at a mere 60 lbs (27 kg), only a quarter of Homer Simpson's. However in "Fraudcast News", Kent Brockman states that his weight is 36 lbs (16.3 kg), and in "The Fool Monty", Kent states his weight is 37 lbs (16.8 kg).
* In "The Burns and the Bees", it is suggested that Burns is Austro-Hungarian and a Monarchist since he sings the Austria-Hungary Anthem.
* It is implied in the episode "Million_Dollar_Maybe", that Burns may used to be a German soldier in World War 2, when he says "Wait, I'm shooting AT nazis? That's not the way I remember it".
* Mr. Burns makes a cameo in the Harvest Moon manga as one of the crowd to rebuild Claire's grandfather's farm.
* In "Puffless", it is mentioned Burns suffers from Dementia.
* It is implied that Burns was part of the Schutzstaffel during Adolf Hitler’s rule over Germany. When Burns is imprisoned, among his personal effects is an SS identification card and even has the Schutstaffel logo on it. The officer confiscating Burns’ belongings identifies it as a social security card, to which Burns remarks “That’s an SS card, you dummkopf!”.
