But Musa’s generous actions inadvertently devastated the economy of the regions through which he passed. In the cities of Cairo, Medina, and Mecca, the sudden influx of gold devalued the metal for the next decade. Prices on goods and wares greatly inflated. To rectify the gold market, on his way back from Mecca, Musa borrowed all the gold he could carry from money-lenders in Cairo, at high interest. This is the only time recorded in history that one man directly controlled the price of gold in the Mediterranean.
After reigning for 25 years, Mansa Musa died in 1337. He was succeeded by his son, Maghan I. “The king’s rich legacy persisted for generations and to this day, there are mausoleums, libraries, and mosques that stand as a testament to this golden age of Mali’s history.
His wealth is estimated at $400 Billion.
King David was a white man, and he was also prophet ,but mansa musa was African, the white can and carry all ours gold, from Mali empire

pls note
mansa musa is not d richest man of all time, he is no 6th richest man of all time,i use to think musa was bfo until i discover he was not
four among d richest of all time r still from d bible days

in solomons days gold was like dust in d street, meaning if u r in need of it u can get what ever quantity u want even frm d street,
dont forget that when ur money is now too much that u cant count its converted to gold
in our recent time, these civilise age its on record not up to 50 years back acheologist discover one of solomon store room full of gold in isreal n d worth of d gold was 800 billion us dollars
mansa musa is worth 400b us dollars

n till date america is still paying 1m dollars every month for taking over their fathers fotune after his demise
Fuck you. .liar hater. The richest is an African
A dead man can’t be the richest man for the living, maybe he was but not anymore
I Do Not Regard A Ruler As A World Richest, B He Dead Or Alive, D Richest Man Must B 1 Who Has Gone Thru D Struggles Of Live, Invested Tym, Sweat N His Blood 2 Produce Wht D World Would 4 Eva Pay Homage 2.
