Bruh I went on Wikipedia to try to make some sort of "Fiat currency" pun and all I got was a realization that you copied the opening paragraph nearly verbatim

but good sir the wikipedia page is indeed how i learnt this factoid about him. i fell into the rabbit hole about media and fashion industry's history which led me to agnelli's wikipedia page. i would have added other urls but reddit only allows one to be linked. so i believed it would be better according to subreddit rules to provide a wiki page with the direct quotes instead of the multiple pages which have been cited on Wikipedia.

“That’s a spicy meatball!”

TIL that Gianni Agnelli, the head of Fiat, controlled 4.4% of Italy's GDP, 3.1% of its industrial workforce and 16.5% of its industrial investment in research and was the richest man in modern Italian history.
