In the same way, namely by using slaves, Albin and Bernard Soulie accumulated over $500,000 as merchants and brokers. Another wealthy black, Francis La Croix, a tailor and real estate speculator and Julien La Croix, a grocer and real estate speculator, reported assets totaling $300,000 and $250,000 respectively (Salzman, Smith, & West, 1996).
