Emperor Mansa Musa of Mali traveled to Mecca for Hajj with an entourage of 60,000 men.
He took his whole court, his officials, solders, heralds, jesters, merchants, camel riders and 12,000 servants, dressed in quality Persian silk, clad in golden brocade & carrying golden staffs.
Mansa Musa I of Mali is the richest person who ever lived!! Bill Gate of today is nowhere closed to his wealth.
Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are names we hear daily nowadays, and names we most associate with real billionaires, but these guys aren’t much in comparison to Mansa Musa, the richest person who ever lived.
At an estimated value of $400 billion, . Born in 1280, Mansa Musa was ruler of the Malian empire, and acquired the most part of his wealth from the production and trade of salt and gold; more than half of the world's supply at the time in fact.
Dying in 1337, Musa left his huge amount of money to his heirs, who not only squandered the best part, but failed to protect the family worth just two generations down the line, when the empire was overturned in civil war and conquered by invading foreign nations. Musa was the tenth Mansa of the Malian empire and ruled over the better part of what was previously the Ghana empire, today known as Mauritania and Mali.
Nonetheless, this legendary ruler stands among the richest of the rich, and while today’s generations may have forgotten him, time remembers him through the many monuments, mosques and madrasas that he had built and still stand in Gao and Timbuktu, but more notably, the Sankoré University, which today is a fully staffed university with over 25,000 students and one of the largest libraries in the world at roughly 1,000,000 historical manuscripts.
Where are the money and golds today!!!
