I think everyone will agree that it is entirely possible to have too much money for your own good.

As if Louis XIV didn’t have a boatload of self-esteem issues, I mean really, he called himself the Sun King for crying out loud. Providing further evidence of this 17th century monarch’s total lack of restraint, on the 7th in 1664, he opened the rather tacky Palace of Versailles.
