Adventure Comics #159 (1950)

Adventure Comics #159 from 1950 features Superboy in "Superboy, Millionaire." In this story, Martha's millionaire brother, Kendall, tries to adopt Clark, but he refuses to leave his parents. Kendall gets into a car wreck, and when Clark checks on him, Kendall thinks that Clark agreed to be adopted. The doctor recommends that Clark play along with Kendall's delusion, so he goes to live with his uncle, only telling his parents the truth. He is given a servant who won't let him do anything for himself and is given a weekly allowance of $1,000 (almost $12,000 in 2022 money). Clark's friends at school think he sold out and are not allowed to visit him. Eventually, Superboy arranges for his uncle to have a similar shock, which brings him out of his delusion, and he remembers that Clark refused to be adopted.
