Who is the richest person of all time?
No, Jeff Bezos is not the richest person of all time.
This title of the richest man in the world ever goes to the 14th Century African Ruler Mansa Musa. It’s almost impossible to know how wealthy and powerful he was.
Mansa Musa was “richer than anyone could describe”, Jacob Davidson wrote about the African king for Money.com in 2015.
He lavishly handed out gold in Cairo, causing a wrecked economy. His wealth is indescribable.
Although his net worth is calculated to be nearly $400 billion, that’s worth more than three times the current richest person in the world.
