The Richest Man Ever
Mansa Musa was the emperor of the Mali empire and this guy had more gold than a rapper's teeth. Little was known about this man, until now.
Mansa Musa wasn't just rich, he was outrageously wealthy, possibly one of the richest people ever. But here's the thing, his riches were just one part of his incredible legacy. When Mansa Musa took the throne in 1312, Europe was going through tough times with famine and civil wars. But in Africa and the Islamic world, things were booming, and Mansa Musa wanted to bring that prosperity to his own realm.
