Hitler was immensely rich before the war began, thanks to royalties from Mein Kampf, licensing fees for the use of his photograph, and contributions from business figures hoping to curry favor. He was making north of $10 million in current dollars a year just from royalty payments.

At the time of his death, his personal fortune was estimated at $3 billion.

what about besides Hitler? I was thinking there was some one whose family owned a big manufacturing plant. That is the one I was interested in but dont remember any of the facts or a name.
