The minister who made this statement was François Guizot, who was a prominent figure in Louis Philippe's government and the leader of the conservative party. The phrase "enrichissez-vous d'abord" ("get rich first") became infamous as a symbol of the government's unwillingness to expand the right to vote to the working classes. It contributed to growing discontent with the regime and ultimately played a role in the outbreak of the 1848 Revolution.
