Valcour Aime

Portrait by [[Jacques Amans]] François-Gabriel "Valcour" Aime (1797–1867) was an American sugar planter, enslaver and pioneer in the large-scale refining of sugar. Known as the "Louis XIV of Louisiana," he was reputedly the wealthiest person in the South.

Aime owned a plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana, called the St. James Refinery Plantation, but it became known as ''Le Petit Versailles'' due to its opulence. (The plantation mansion burned down in 1920.) Provided by Wikipedia
