Faire fortune, c’est plus qu’une passion, plus qu’un art, une quête permanente de l’inaccessible. Et, toujours, une aventure. J’ai voulu raconter cette aventure-là, en permanence recommencée depuis les temps mythiques de Crésus et du roi Midas.

J’y ai croisé des riches, qui avaient assez d’appétit pour dévorer des continents à la recherche des mines d’or ou de diamants.
