If you like wine....
Welcome to the biggest private wine collection of the world.
A French welder with average salary started it in 1960, and traded his bottles up to a 50.000 pcs collection (40 millions euros), including 1805's Napoleon favorite Cognac, a 1789 Cognac (French révolution year ), and a Titanic Marie Brizard bottles with gold leaf flakes in it "because drinking gold was the trend then". -> supposed to help "purify the blood"...
He's going to open a Louvre of the wine, so it will become a public collection of our national patrimony, and people will be able to visit it.
As he says : " I really fucked all the billionaires on that one."
Sorry couldn't find it in English, so that's how it is.
