jan 1, 1634 - Palace of Versailles Finished

Description:

The Palace of Versailles is now a tourist attraction in France but was an iconic statement of wealth in 1634. With the help of financial manager Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louis XIII was able to build a $500,000,000 palace to symbolize his power. He had nobles stay there to earn "status" which then allowed Louis to send intendants to rule their areas.
