Samuel Goldbarr (French: Samuel Goldwood) is an American tourist who unknowingly bought the original Arumbayan Fetish from Simon Balthazar. Neither of them had realized that the Fetish had been stolen. When Tintin visits his house in Sanfacion he is greeted by the Butler to Mr Goldbarr telling him he has gone to Europe on the S.S. Washington. Upon learning that the Fetish belonged to the Museum of Ethnography, he willingly asks Tintin to return it to the museum.
His residence is in Sanfacion in the republic of Nuevo-Rico.
