8. Jakob Fugger
Fugger was a German trader in the early 1500’s who amassed a huge fortune mostly by trading textiles with Italy. Today, his total bank account would total about $221 billion, which is probably how he earned the nickname “Fugger the Rich.” There’s really no telling if that was a compliment or not. Admittedly, Jakob Fugger is kind of a boring figure. He never killed anyone or really conquered anything. He did pretty much buy some kid a monarchy in Germany, but mostly he just used that influence to get himself some more green. Let’s just say he was one rich Fugger.
