<P> John Astin had long sessions with Addams and series producer David Levy, who gave him free rein in developing the character . Enlarging on Addam's description of Gomez as a Latin lover type, Astin suggested the eye - rolling, pencil moustache, and ardent devotion to Morticia . </P> <P> In the Addams cartoons and the television shows, Gomez wore a necktie to his chalk - stripe suit, though in the films, Gomez wears a bow - tie and also wears a wide variety of extravagant clothing . He spends $1000 per month on cigars, and is an accomplished juggler and knife - thrower, he loves crashing toy trains and diving for crabs on Halloween . </P> <P> Gomez Addams is an athletic, acrobatic, and eccentric multi-billionaire . Though an extremely successful businessman, having acquired much of his wealth through inheritance and investments, he has little regard for money and will casually spend thousands of dollars on any whimsical endeavor . Gomez's investments are guided more by whimsy than strategy, yet luck rarely fails him . Gomez owns businesses around the world, including a swamp, bought for "scenic value", crocodile farm, a buzzard farm, a salt mine, a tombstone factory, a uranium mine, and many others . In Forbes 2007 "Fictional 15" list of the richest fictional characters, he was ranked #12 with a net worth of $2 billion . </P> <P> As a young man, Gomez was, per flashback in "Morticia's Romance," a perennially sickly youth, gaining perfect health only after meeting Morticia . He nevertheless studied law (voted "Most Likely Never to Pass the Bar") and is quite proud his law class voted him "Least Likely to Succeed"; and although he rarely practices, he takes an absurd delight in losing cases, boasting of having put many criminals behind bars while acting as their defense attorney; this is somewhat contradicted in the episode "The Addams Family Goes to Court," where it is noted that while Gomez has never won a case, he has never lost one either ("Perfect record!" boasts Grandmama). In The New Addams Family, Gomez had also studied medicine . </P>
