11. Genghis Khan

Ancient conqueror Genghis Khan didn’t really give two farts about material wealth. He lived in a tent and spent his life roaming around adding nations to his banner. His whole life was measured in the ruthless degradation of his enemies, and in the acquisition of land. By that measure, he was the wealthiest person who ever lived. Beginning with literally nothing (he and his mother and siblings were left for dead by their tribe when he was 10), this warrior fought, united, squashed, murdered, and burned his way to a kingdom that was nearly twice as large as his closest historical competitor.
