In Monopoly, what is the name of the game’s top-hatted mascot?

Monopoly’s top-hatted mascot is named Rich Uncle Pennybags.

Rich Uncle Pennybags is the character associated with the game’s branding, packaging, and promotional artwork. He is usually shown as a wealthy older man wearing a black top hat, formal clothes, and a mustache. His appearance helped give Monopoly a recognizable visual identity beyond the board itself.

In the United States, the character was renamed Mr. Monopoly in 1999. The newer name is now widely used, so players often know the mascot only as Mr. Monopoly. Rich Uncle Pennybags remains the character’s original and historically important name.

He is sometimes mistakenly called the Monopoly Man as though that were his formal name. “Monopoly Man” is an informal description, while Rich Uncle Pennybags and Mr. Monopoly are the established character names used in different periods and markets.
