I see you've found my collection, 501,622,731 stars.
~ The Businessman when he finds the little girl and the prince, explaining to them that they have found his collection.
Own! Say it with me. Own. I own the stars.
~ The Businessman's most famous quote when he declared to the Girl that he owns the stars.
They used to be merely little golden objects in the sky that set lazy men to idle dreaming. But now, the stars have finally been made essential.
~ The businessman explains to the little girl and the prince what the stars are like.

The Businessman is the main antagonist of the 2015 Netflix animated movie The Little Prince, based on the 1943 novel of the same name by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. He is an alien from asteroid 328, and its only inhabitant. He externally resembles a tall, bald, heavyset human man.

He was voiced by Albert Brooks, who also played Hank Scorpio in The Simpsons, Russ Cargill in The Simpsons Movie, and Bernie Rose in Drive.

Biography[]

For many years, the Businessman lived alone on asteroid 328. The Little Prince then traveled to his asteroid, finding that the Businessman claims to own the stars he counts. The Little Prince asked the Businessman why he owns the stars, and the Businessman says that it's because it will make him rich and can buy more stars and things that can be sold. The Little Prince then leaves and continues his journey.

Many years later, the Businessman started a bigger business by founding a company called BMCO (probably short for Businessman Company) where he somehow shrunk down and captured almost every star in the sky to make energy, also turning useless objects (consisting of toys and various things who aren't both for adults or for working) into paper clips. With BMCO, he took control of an asteroid populated entirely by adult humanoids, who all became BMCO employees under his iron fist, setting up a utilitarian society where only the essential may exist. He then somehow captured the Little Prince, and turned him into an adult called Mr. Prince, using the Academy Teacher to wipe the prince's memory of the past and kept him in his position as an incompetent employee. At some point, the Businessman also contracted the King as an elevator operator, and The Conceited Man as a corporate police officer. After Mr. Prince realizes who he actually really is, he quits his job.

Later, a Little Girl both help Mr. Prince escape the Businessman and frees the stars from the latter and bring them back to sky where they belong. When the stars were released, the Businessman cries how it won't be good for business. It's unknown what became of him, but without the stars, the asteroid's power grid went down, the other aliens were freed from their monotonous routines, and BMCO presumably collapsed.
