Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, primarily funded his government and lavish lifestyle through a combination of taxation, trade, and the wealth generated from his extensive land holdings. He centralized power, reducing the influence of the nobility, and implemented reforms that improved tax collection. Additionally, the expansion of French colonial ventures and a focus on mercantilism boosted the economy. However, his extravagant spending on projects like the Palace of Versailles and military campaigns eventually strained France's finances.
