How much money did John Agustus Sutter make?

John Augustus Sutter, a Swiss immigrant and pioneer in California, initially found success through his agricultural ventures and the establishment of Sutter's Fort. However, his wealth drastically changed when gold was discovered at his mill in 1848, leading to the California Gold Rush. Despite his initial fortune, Sutter lost much of his wealth due to legal issues, the influx of gold seekers to his land, and poor business decisions, ultimately dying in relative poverty in 1880. Thus, while he made significant money during his lifetime, much of it was lost, and he did not retain lasting wealth.
