10. Mansa Musa

Considered the richest person of all time, Mansa Musa (who lived from around 1280 to 1337) ruled the African nation of Mali. While Mansa Musa was in power, Mali was famous for providing 50% of the world’s gold and salt (aka, the two most valuable resources in the whole of the ancient world). Recent studies have suggested that adjusted for inflation, Mansa Musa’s fortune would have reached nearly $400 billion dollars.
