which had basically not bankrupted him but put him in
dire financial Straits and may have led to his oulster.
Kind of right after he died, they opened it to
tourists and it has made a ton of money since
then and continues to.

Speaker 1(45:02):
Yeah, they estimate one hundred and thirty million people have
visited it since they opened it a few weeks after
his death.

Yeah,

(18:34):
between men, especially even taking that into account, like the
flowery language they would use and just the desperation they
would have at being a part. And then one of the other

a lavish hunting retreat. He
eventually would build a recreation of Versailles on a lake island.
