TULIPMANIA
First major financial bubble in history. Investors started purchasing tulips, which pushed their prices to unprecedented highs. The average price of this flower outmatched the skilled worker’s annual income. Tulips sold for more than 4000 florins, the former official currency of the Netherlands. Many tulip holders became instantly bankrupt after prices suddenly collapsed.
