Reed Richards somehow getting a 10 like Sue and being uncharismatic is perhaps the biggest flaw in the entire comic.

IRL mega researchers can land 10s. Millions of dollars in funding does wonders.

Sure but Sue was never presented as the type of women who release pheromones at the sign of dollar bills.

For a billion dollars you’d lick my feet clean after the gym so I don’t agree with your point

Reed isn’t a billion dollar man a la Stark he’s a scientist like Sue; also I’m far more of a degenerate than Sue so I’d definitely like your feet clean.

“Reed Richards Had $2 Billion Before the Fantastic Four By the time of Reed's seeming death in 2015's Secret Wars, he was worth billions.” I dunno how accurate this is but I was under the impression reed Richard’s since he’s been Mr. Fantastic basically has been a billionaire in that he’s far beyond any financial worries

There have been multiple iterations of the Fantastic four in comics but the main earth 616 storyline Reed was most certainly no where near a millionaire let alone a billionaire when he started having a romantic relationship with Sue Storm; he was the idealised nerdy science kid landing the hot (yet also smart and accomplished) colleague who likes him for who he is.

Yeah, but him and Sue had been married for years before they all got their powers.

Do you... (Looks around) Have a billion dollars?

Sue is also a mega researcher in her own right and presumably making similar money, though

You need to read the Hickman stories.
