Mansa musa Mali is the richest human being in History with a personal net worth of $400 billion.
Mansa Musa lived from 1280-1337, and ruled the Malian Empire which covered modern day Ghana, Timbuktu and Mali in west Africa.
He was so wealthy ttat a time, he embarked on a journey and the city he passed through, he gifted everyone in there 'surplus Gold' ; that they all couldn't sell off to another because everyone had.On his return journey, while passing through the city, he then brought back the golds from them.
Mansa musa's massive wealth came from his country's vast production of more than half the world's supply of salt and Gold.
Mansa used his wealth to build massive mosques that still stands till today, nearly 700 years later.
His kingdom and wealth didn't last after his dealth.His heirs were not able to fend off civil war and invading conquerors.
Just two generations later, his world record net worth was gone.
