Merchant prince

Merchant Prince, or Merchant Princess, is a prestige class whose members either acquired their business through inheritence or earned their coin on their own. Merchant princes affect much of the economies throughout Faerûn and their mercantile holdings are often quite vast.

Becoming a merchant prince
Most merchant princes are either rogues or bards, although a few rangers and fighters are known have the necessary skills. Clerics of Waukeen and Shaundakul are not uncommon among the ranks of the merchant princes.
