The $6 billion man.

Hitler made $6,000,000,000 being a Nazi. Six. Billion.

Lucrative business.

That’s something you don’t think about, because of the atrocities.

Statistics. Numbers.

Hitler was a billionaire.

Real estate investment. Book royalties, image rights.

Started out a starving artist. Quite the career trajectory.

Hitler was loath to pay taxes. Had himself declared tax-exempt.

You can talk about priceless art being stolen then reclaimed. Those are human interest stories.

The finances of Nazism is a more tedious conversation.

Starving artist to $6 billion—not on a government salary.

You think of concentration camps. You think of black-and-white, emaciated violence.

Free labor. Construction, management contracts. Nazism was a business plan. A lucrative one.
