The Richest man who ever lived

the life and times of Jacob Fugger
In the days when Christopher Columbus lived, there was a German banker named Jacob Fugger who, even today, was the richest man in history. Through a mixture of gumption, chicanery, and intellect, Fugger spotted opportunities, pioneered new business strategies, and got the best of opponents in negotiations. He had the savvy to get the pope to legalize money lending. He had the nerve to stare down kings and make them pay back their loans with interest. And he had the intellect to run his business empire with great skill and therefore keep his head, literally, in an age where power and wealth sometimes meant death for the owner.
