СКУПОЙ

Из жизнеописания Ж.-Ф. Рамо: 

“Though he lived in a comfortable flat of ten rooms with his wife and two children, the inventory drawn up after his death shows poor furniture and wardrobe. The only instrument was “un vieux clavesin à un clavier en mauvais état”. <…> But in his bureau there was coin in bags amounting to 40,584 livres; that is, 1691 louis d’or” (Girdlestone, C. Jean-Philippe Rameau: His Life and Work. New York: Dover Publications, 1969. P. 507-508).

В пересчете на чистое золото — это больше 360000 EUR.
