Fugger - Banker Who Brought the Habsburgs to Power

If some of the sentences in this video annoy you, you haven't read the theory properly. Capitalism>feodalism.

Another fun fact his worth was not 130 million that doesnt make sense when you control with other numbers real records show his worth was around 400 billion although the channel is quite good in general some numbers are just wrong

In our familytree we had two brothers called "Zech" which actually managed a silvermine somewhere in the Tyrol area for Fugger which formerly belonged to the Habsburgs!

I like imaging Fugger's enemies angrily shouting "That Fugger"

He also bought himself 2 Popes, created interest on credit creating indebtedness. He & one of his Popes created the idea of selling indulgences to earn money & convinced people that buying indulgences would forgive their sins. Where did his money come from? What did he do with it?

In the beginning it sounded like you were saying: "Jakob Fugger the Rich, the sponsor of this video." that would have been awesome.

What a sneaky Fugger.

It was essential that you detailed his upbringing, as now we know mother-fugger as well 😁

Jacob Fugger was the great creator of Transatlantic slavery, together with the Weiser family, they were the rough group of Jewish slavers who made fortune with slavery of white people and then changed to slavery of black people. The way this people talked of a criminal worst than Hitler makes me sick!

Slavery Uberalles! The Fuggers were the greatest slavers in history and were the founders of Transatlantic slavery! This book is written to idolize them with lies, omissions and data impossible to exist, due to both the mining activity and the textiles yielding little, in a time in which about 98% of the people were peasants, who hardly used money and produced their own clothes, adding that the few existing rich people had their own seamstresses who bought the imported fabrics themselves, only on festive occasions, the which was rare. Minerals only became a consistent source of wealth in the 19th century and European silver was rare, just like gold. That is why numerous Arab, Turkish and even Polish sources state that Europe was so poor that the only source of wealth was the enslavement of Europeans. nor European silver.
What does exist are the documents in which the Fuggers and Welsers became the architects and first monopolists of the slave trade from Africa to the Americas!

I guess you could say Charles got fugged

So...for centuries upon centuries interest loans were illegal, unholy, and ungodly... until a Catholic pope changed that.

This is how we got here

Imagine if they did a movie with Ben Stiller..Meet The Fuggers.

No way the Hapsburgs and Jakob Fugger were connected. Wow

What was the name of the French princess offered to Joachim of Brandenberg?

Dont need to elaborate. Medivial europe was a rascals land.

Lvl. 1 minor noble > Lvl. 1000000 Holy Roman Emperor
It's how we do it in ViennaCity

Slave to the money.

Нихуя себе евреище

His net worth is apparently 400bil — or 2% of Europe’s GSP

Most interestingly is that his descendants are still in business (I saw a documentary regarding German aristocratic families - and his descendant came up as the head of a private investment bank). Fabulous video. Keep up the good work.

Great video

i cant imagine spending every waking hour of my life making money, can you imagine what its like laying on your death bed realizing your best moments were not children being born, marriage to wife, laughs with friends and family, but your whole life was nothing but a slave to money.

Vasco "de Gomez"...like, srly? 🤣

Your channel is mind blowing

Germany again

Are you sure the 170 million figure is correct? From what I have read, cost adjusted, it's been estimated that Fugger's net worth was closer to anywhere between 200-400 billion. This would absolutely place him as one of wealthiest men in history.

Thurzo, a germen engineer of hungarian descent? His mother languages were slovak and polish.

Man. That’s Fugged up.

As an indian...I feel shame that our bankers did not make big deals with europe ..but then...fact is...europe was like latin America of 21st century...big economy but not big enough to think about

.

Jakob Fugger wealth in today's money is closer to 312 billions US dollars. He had roughly 2% of the GDP of all Europe. The 130 millions Euros is a mistake. See book : Jakob Fugger, the richest man who ever lived.

I think the wealth of the Fuggers & other merchants, rivaling or exceeding princes and kings, was a phenomenon unique to Europe. Don't think there were merchants or bankers as powerful as the Fuggers in the Ottoman or Ming Empires?

Sarebbe bello avere la traduzione
in italiano !

Fun fact: I am related to a woman named Anna Rehlinger, she was married to Anton Fugger, who was the nephew of Jakob.

He never traded with the ottomans despite being so close..

Striking to me are the parallels between Fugger and the Rothschilds

Jakob Fugger Ceo of incest

Stable video 👍

FUG :DDDDDD

fugg :DDD

the description of his father "a weaver....who inherited a vast fortune from his own father". i guess it's nice that being part of an extremely wealthy family he still had a job as a weaver :-D [now i kinda want to hear the story of his grandfather, the commoner who kept marrying wealthy women. what was his secret!? :D]

REAL history. You can forget your princes and knights and armies and campaigns. Men like Fugger were the real power. Largely undocumented and forgotten and even today when you open a text book all you read about are aristocrats and vanity and that is supposed to be the history of the human race for a thousand years..

He’s interesting but I always found the story of Jakob fugma more interesting
