Inez Wong is a rich human who owns the western hemisphere of Mars together with her husband Leo. They farm buggalo at their ranch.
Personality
Inez is similar to her husband being selfish and greedy. She is also overly concerned about Amy's choice of Fonfon Ru and was obsessed with getting a grandchild. Apparently, she cares more about having grandchildren than the happiness of her daughter. As soon as their Buggalo were stolen, Inez claimed she wanted to divorce Leo indicating that she only married him for his money (3ACV10).
Biography
Inez married Leo Wong, a rich owner of a majority of Mars, and they had a daughter, Amy, in 2979. While Amy went off to study at Mars University and becoming an intern at Planet Express, Inez has stayed at Wong Ranch breeding buggalo. In 3010, she protested against Proposition ∞ after her daughter started a robosexual relationship with Bender (6ACV04).
Inez and Leo had a habit of meddling in Amy's life frequently trying to get her together with a man in the hopes of getting grandchildren. They disapproved of Amy's relationship with Kif Kroker (3ACV10), even though they were the ones who found him (1ACV10).
