Futurama Season 1, Episode 6 – A Fishful of Dollars

Bender gets arrested for trying to steal cans of robot oil, and Fry has to bail him out. Short on cash, he visits the bank, curious if his account is still open. Not only is it still open, but his balance has reached the amount of $4.3 billion. After much celebration, Fry treats his friends to pizza, but he’s awestruck to discover that anchovies, his favorite topping, have gone extinct. He tries to win the last can in existence at an auction. However, Mom, the most powerful person in the world, bids against him. She will do anything to get those anchovies, for they’re worth much more than Fry realizes.
wikipedia.org summary:
Fry checks his bank account for the first time in a thousand years and discovers that he has become a billionaire thanks to compound interest. He goes on a massive spending spree and buys various 20th century artifacts, including the last unopened can of anchovies, which have gone extinct. Mom, a famous industrialist and oil tycoon, feels threatened that the anchovies’ oil could be used to put her out of business, so she sends her sons to steal Fry’s ATM and PIN number. Fry’s bank account is emptied and his 20th century artifacts are repossessed except for the anchovies, which Mom hopes Fry will sell to her. However, she stops interfering once she learns that Fry had intended to serve the anchovies on a pizza to share with his friends, who end up hating it.
