jan 1, 1619 - Jean Baptiste Colbert Born

Description:

Jean Baptiste Colbert was a financial super genius to say the least. He was the chief minister for finance under Louis XIV. Using his mercantilist lifestyle, and being committed to buying more than selling, he helped raise money for the $500,000,000 Palace of Versailles. He used expensive French exports to do so and was extremely helpful in keeping France afloat during the years of Louis XIV's grand lifestyle.
