Avaricious Parisian magnate dies leaving 2.5 million livres
An extraordinary tale from Paris recounts M Ostexwatn, the city's wealthiest man, who died enshrouded in avarice. Born in Neufchatel, he rose from a Hamburg clerk to amass a fortune through banking and stock jobbing. He lived frugally, avoided taxes, kept a heavy portfolio close to his heart, and denied even soup to avoid wasting meat, leaving relations about 2.5 million livres and 800,000 in unrecorded assets.
