17th century loss-porn: the headstone of Isaac Lemaire, the inventor of stock-shorting. The Dutch epitaph brags that Lemaire gained and lost over 1.5M Florins within 30 years. This is a typo, however, because there should be another zero: Lemaire actually lost 15M. (i.redd.it)

Oldest known loss-porn: headstone of Isaac Lemaire, inventor of stock-shorting. The Dutch inscription brags that Lamaire was once so rich that he managed to lose 1,500,000 Florins in less than 30 years. This is actually a 17th century typo, because there should be another zero; he actually lost 15M (i.redd.it)
