In the 16th century, Spain had more than 1.5 trillion dollars in 1990 terms worth of gold. This does not even count the silver and other thing! They also had control of Portugal and its colonies, which means it got its spice trade. They also still had large imports of gold and silver coming in.
Ps: One Spanish ship bringing gold to spain had more money worth than what Englands queen and all its people saw in a whole year.
