Great song! And my first thought is Santa Claus, but I don't think many women lust after him...

And congratulations, @DATo!

[DATo]

And congratulations, DATo!

Thanks Luna .... Not Santa.

(Can't get that song out of my head *LOL*)

[Gravy]

Rumpelstiltskin?

[Stephanie Runyon]

Solicitor

[DATo]

@Gravy @Mounce574

Not Rumpelstiltskin or Solicitor

[DATo]

Hint #1 - Many men have lusted for me too ... (not that kind of lust, get your mind out of the gutter *LOL*)

[Stephanie Runyon]

Energy lol. I wish for energy

[DATo]

Energy lol. I wish for energy

Not energy.

Hint #2 - I am not a living thing.

[Asma Aisha Ansari]

Interesting. So I think it could be a mascot. Like the Monopoly Guy. It's definitely not the right answer. But it's got to be something similar.

I like your reasoning.

I was thinking something similar. I just can't figure out who.

You are on the right track. The answer to the riddle could indeed find favorable comparison to the old millionaire in the Monopoly game in some respects.

HINT #3 - I am something tangible

[Susan Frances]

I don't think this is right but are you a gnome or my other thinking, was a Buddah?

[DATo]

I don't think this is right but are you a gnome or my other thinking, was a Buddah?

It's not the right answer, but there is a similarity in the way in which both are depicted.

Hint #4 - I am often compared with a distant cousin of mine who reminds people of a can .... or is it a cane?
(Careful, this is a play on words. Think "city".)
