Answer/Explanation:

Everyone would think that discovering gold on Sutter's property would have made him a wealthy man. The Gold Rush, however, had the opposite impact on Sutter and his property. His land was destroyed, his businesses died, and his money dried up. Sutter died in a Washington hotel on June 18, 1880.

Feel bad for him :(
