pretty sure of that
Using the correct grammar, it would say:
"I wonder who is more rich. Brian or Roger."
"I wonder who is more rich. Brian or Roger."
I think it's Brian.
I pretty much agree with everyone. I would have to say Brian.
After all, Brian wrote Queen's masterpiece WWRY.
Brian. Duh.
im sure its Brian

That's what I really like about this forum: not only that I usually get all sort of infos about my fav band, but I also learn how to speak English properly! Thanks to all the grammar geniuses out here who never make a mistake for teaching me all I needed to know about this language... You can never imagine how much it helped me, pals! :)
Brian is surely more rich than Rog, after all he gets some money everytime WWRY is played somewhere in the world. But he deserves it...
According to the Sunday Times rich list 2003 Roger Taylor is worth £55m, John Deacon is worth £50m and Brian May is worth £55m but this is before the We Will Rock You show was so popular, so now I'd say brian is worth £60m and Roger about £56-57m
"more rich" seems to be against all rules. Do natives use that?

Yeah, and im sure John gets paid for the use of his songs too. With the musical doing so well, I think theyll gradually start climbing the list. I know there is only £10m difference between the three of them. Its a good job John wrote AOBTD otherwise he could be quite far behind them.
Richer is ok to use as an adjective, but I would probably use wealthier myself. More rich, while grammatically correct, is a bit awkward to use.
Also, there should be a colon in that sentence-
"Who is wealthier: Brian or Roger?"
Without the colon, you just have a sentence and a phrase.

Matt unfortunately was pretty much talking bollocks with his statement.
The only thing really wrong with Freddies_Gal's statement was that it was missing something between the 'richer' and the 'Brian or Roger', as Zeni correctly pointed out.
It could have been:
- Who is richer? Brian or Roger?
or even
- Who is richer: Brian? Or Roger?
or how about
- Who is richer?: Brian or Roger.
I don't think many native English speakers would use 'more rich'. The average English speaker, I would have thought, would be most likely to say "Who's the richest/who's richer?" or "Who's got the most money?" rather than "Who's wealthier?".
Oh, and I think the inclusion of a comma in your last sentence is entirely superfluous and essentially wrong. :)

Thanks! And since you seem to be in the mood for answering off-topic questions, I have one more: I have never ever heard anyone pronounce the name Milton Keynes. Is it Keynes like in "convey", or like in "key"? Or even like in "eye"? One or two syllables? Reading it I always thought it was like in key and one syllable.
