4. King Louis XIV Of France
Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, was the King of France and King of Navarre until his death. He was a king for 72 years. This was the longest recorded reign of any European monarch and, of course, he was one of the richest. The great French writer Voltaire used the title “Age of Louis XIV” to describe the king’s enormous wealth and the power he had amassed in the King’s service. Long considered the epitome of all that is stylish, glamorous, and desirable, Louis’ Paris was rich in lavish boutiques, restaurants, wine cellars, and more endless treasures. King Louis had the richest fashions; china, perfumes, jewels and one could imagine even more.
