Mansa Musa: The Richest Person Ever!

Mansa Musa is considered by many historians as the richest human to ever live. He ruled the Mali

empire in Africa for twenty-five years, which was extremely rich in salt and gold, in fact it reported that they were

the largest gold producer in the world and had half of the world’s total supply.  However, Mansa Musa is widely

known for his generosity because he gave away huge amount of gold to the poor especially the people he met

during his pilgrimage to Mecca, which is one of the most extravagant pilgrimage in human history, the voyage

which will span 4,000 miles was traveled by Musa along with 60 thousands men and twelve thousand

slaves draped in persian silk carrying gold and heralds. During the journey, it reported that Mansa Musa built a

mosque every friday. However, His generosity somewhat backfired because it also claimed that he spent so much

gold on souvenirs during his journey that he crashed the local economy and caused mass inflation and if you

really think about that, it highlight how absurdly rich Mansa Musa was that he essentially caused a financial crisis

by spending too much on his travels. So buckle up because we are going on a journey to uncover the true story

of Mansa Musa’s rise to power and how he became  one of the greatest wealthiest and most powerful figures in

human history.
