In the episode ''[[Fraudcast News]]'', originally aired in 2004, Burns claims that he was born in 1881, making him 128 years old. He is occasionally referred to as "Springfield's oldest resident" with a Social Security number of 000-00-0002 (Cursing Franklin Roosevelt for having 0001).

 Mr. Burns' age has fluctuated during the course of the show, being explicitly stated he was just over the age of 81 in ''[[Simpson and Delilah]]'' and as old as 104 in ''[[Who Shot Mr. Burns?|Who Shot Mr. Burns?

In the episode ''[[Fraudcast News]]'', originally aired in 2004, Burns claims that he was born in 1881, making him 128 years old. He is occasionally referred to as "Springfield's oldest resident" with a Social Security number of 000-00-0002 (Cursing Franklin Roosevelt for having 0001). In [[Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"|one episode]], he is shown as a young man serving as a private in Abe Simpson's World War II Army platoon.
 Frequent allusions to Burns' age place his date of birth in the late 19th century, which would make him at the least more than 100 years old. He says he had a driver's license that expired in 1909, graduated from Yale University in 1914, was depicted in a 19th century woodcut terrorizing children (which, surprisingly, features him as an old man). Burns has also claimed that he has survived through 12 economic recessions and eight panics.
 Other references to Burns' age place him at thousands or millions of years old. His ATM password, which is the same as his age, is four digits long (although it is possible the first and/or second digits are 0). Burns' birthplace has also been named as [[Wikipedia:Pangaea|Pangaea]] in the episode "[[The Seemingly Never-Ending Story]]".

 Burns' state of mind is the subject of frequent jokes on the show. At times, he appears to be completely removed from modern conventions and, sometimes, reality. He continually fails to recognize Homer Simpson or remember his name despite all the major events in Burns' life on the series have revolved around him in some way. Burns is also for the most part unaware of the townspeople's general dislike of him.
-Mr. Burns uses archaic phrases and antiquated expressions that have either changed meanings or fallen out of common usage in American English, including score (meaning 20), twain (two), post-haste (quickly), petroleum distillate (gasoline), gay (jolly), dean (principal), velocitator and deceleratrix (a car's accelerator and brake), aeromail (post by air), lollygagger (slacker), fourth form (fourth grade), ahoy-hoy (hello), jumping box and picto-tube (television), Autogyro (helicopter), DictaBelt (dictation machine), the New York Nine (New York Yankees),  horseless sleigh (snowmobile, although it could just mean that he was trying to be a mysterious character), crackleberries (peanuts), talkie (movies with sound), thrice (three times), and mater (mother). He also answers the telephone in the same way that the man widely credited for the ''Invention'' of the Telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, is purported to have answered it ('Ahoy, Hoy?').  In one episode he also rings Smithers and says "Smithers, come here, I want you.", a take on what are reputedly the first words spoken by Alexander Graham Bell on his telephone ("Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you").

 The Burns family has deep roots in the United States. Mr. Burns' adoptive great-grandfather [[wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Franklin]] [[wikipedia:Thomas Jefferson|Jefferson]]. Burns participated in the Boston Tea Party. Mr. Burns had a strained relationship with his own mother, whom he's apparently tried to kill at least once, who had an affair with President Taft and lives in her 120's.
-Burns was born on September 15, 1894. As a child, Burns lived happily in a northern state of the US with his natural parents, Clifford and Daphne Burns, nee Charles, as one of 12 children, including their younger brother, future comedian [[wikipedia:George Burns|George Burns]], and teddy bear [[Bobo]] (according to the epsiode [[Rosebud]]). In "[[The Mansion Family]]", he was asked the cause of his parents' deaths and he replied: "Got in my way". His mother was seen in the season 7 episode "[[Homer the Smithers]]".

 At a young age he left his family to live with a twisted and heartless billionaire (who was actually his grandfather), who owned an "atom mill" in Springfield, where laborers split atoms by hitting anvils with sledgehammers. Burns lived a life of privilege and would amuse himself by injuring hapless immigrant laborers. Mr. Burns later attended Yale University, where he studied science and business, played on the varsity football team, and was inducted into the Skull and Bones secret society. Burns graduated from Yale in 1914.

 Burns served in the United States Army during World War II, holding the rank of private after being demoted for his involvement in a romantic scandal and attempting to block a probe from J. Edgar Hoover, possibly investigating the fact that he was secretly manufacturing shells for the Nazis. This last part is something he is proud of, seeing himself as being a superior person than Oskar Schindler because "my shells worked, dammit!".
-A member of Springfield's [[Flying Hellfish]] battalion, he saw action in the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge, serving under Sergeant [[Abraham Simpson]]. He was later transferred to the South Pacific with part of his squad.  During the closing years of the war, when his platoon was clearing out a German-occupied castle, Mr. Burns came across several valuable portraits. Since they couldn't decide on who they should go to, they decided to enter into a tontine, which Mr. Burns was removed from several years after the war, after being dishonorably discharged when he tried to kill Abe.

 At the end of World War II he was personally hired by President Harry S Truman to transport a specially-printed trillion-dollar bill to Europe as the United States' contribution to the reconstruction of Europe. As the United States' richest citizen, Burns was thought to be also the most trustworthy, even though almost everyone hates him for one reason or another. Burns absconded with the bill and kept it in his possession for many years until it was lost to Fidel Castro in the episode [[The Trouble with Trillions]].

 In the 1970s, Burns built the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]]. Burns currently owns the plant, although he has parted with it several times, including when he sold it to German investors, when the bank foreclosed on it and put [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] in charge, when he lost all of his money in a bet with Colonel O'Hara, and when Homer and Bart staged a hostile takeover of it. In each of these instances, Burns regained ownership of the nuclear plant.
-At the nuclear plant, Burns spends most of time in his office, monitoring his workers via closed circuit cameras. In his office he keeps a team of ten high-priced lawyers, a scale model of Springfield, a special microbe-resistant chamber, a two-seat escape pod, and the "League of Evil" - a sinister cabal whose members are long deceased but whose skeletons remain.  The boobytraps in Burns' office include cricket poison, a secret trapdoor (though he sometimes forgets where it is), a catapult that fires 100 gram weights, and a ceiling-mounted suction tube which he can use to transport dissident workers to Morocco. He is also a loan officer at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Employee's Credit Union.<ref>This happens in [[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]</ref>

 Burns has used his power and wealth to blackmail and bribe various members of Springfield, including [[Mayor Quimby]], as well as safety inspectors. He once attempted to block out the sun to force Springfield residents to increase their use of electricity produced by the Nuclear Plant and was subsequently shot by [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]];. The town routinely is subject to Burns' abuse, such as Burns' stealing of Christmas from 1981 to 1985 and there is a general dislike of him throughout the town.
-Burns resides in a vast, ornate mansion on an immense estate called ''[[Burns Manor]]'', located at 1000 Mammon Street, on the corner of Croesus and Mammon streets in the '[[Springfield Heights]]' district. It is protected by a high wall, an electrified fence, and a pack of vicious attack dogs known as "The Hounds" one; of whom is named Winston. In addition he has at least one 30+ yr old dog named Crippler, who is so old he has trouble walking.  Crippler is known for bagging hippies - something they don't find too groovy at all.  At times he has employed for protection a force of ''Wizard of Oz'' - style guards, a personal paramilitary force, a riot police squad, and a robotic Richard Simmons.
