Both, because of military might in Sparta and rich because of plundering other countries.

I have used a formula to calculate this (using the value of the goods of the volturi in their castle, that they're billionaires (a fact!) and other factors, such as economical growth.)

The starting begins when Marcus joins them, in 1250 bc. They have 5 golden coins. The formula is working well up to 400 AC, because they then have the first big war with the Rumanians.

y = 5 x 1,02^1650

Answer around 7,749 e 14

Now after 400 AC up to 2015:

y = 7,749 e 14 x 1,001^1615

Answer is around 3,893 e 15

So the final outcome of this calculation is roughly:

3 893 trillion euros  (I don't known if dollars or euros, but since the Volturi are European, I'll say euros). Pretty much eh?

So what does this mean?

This means that the Volturi nowadays, - even with little gains - have so much money that they literallty could make every poor country rich.
