Synopsis

What happens when Europe's richest man doesn't age? Whether it is a blessing or a curse, the 15th century merchant Jakob Fugger stopped aging at 37. A successful businessman, his exponential wealth makes him a political superpower, shaping the course of history for better or worse.

By the 21st century, Jakob has stopped trying to grow his fortune, focusing instead on trying to keep it secret. Alarmingly someone has discovered it, and he has a new enemy. Someone is after him, and this mysterious figure seems to be as powerful and wealthy as he is.

“Compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe."
- Albert Einstein
