When you think of the richest people in history, you usually imagine kings, emperors, or maybe modern tech billionaires. 
Yet 500 years ago, one merchant banker from Augsburg may have been wealthier than all of them. 
He financed emperors, influenced papal politics, controlled vital mines, and helped shape the future of Europe. 
Despite his wealth and power, few people even know his name today.
Learn more about Jakob Fugger, one of the most powerful businessmen who ever lived, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
