In 2023, Disney banned this issue from future reprints and collections due to the depiction of characters Bombie the Zombie and Foola Zoola
The publisher sent this email to creator, Don Rosa: As part of its ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, The Walt Disney Company is in the process of reviewing their library of stories. As a result, some stories that do not align with their values will no longer be published. This applies to two of your classic stories, 'The Richest Duck in the World' and 'The Dream of a Lifetime'. These stories will not be part of any reprints or new collections
The story is part of the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck story arc that is sought after by many Disney comic fans

The earliest publication of the story appeared in Donald Duck & Co. #16 published in Norway (April 1994)
