15. Tutankhamun

The most famous pharaoh of Egypt, Tut is also the only one whose wealth we can truly measure. Because, if the stories are to be believed, you may have to ultimately give the title of richest pharaoh to either Amenhotep III (the guy in charge when Egypt was at it’s material height) or Ramesses II (the Bible pharoah, and the one responsible for a significant portion of Egypt’s coolest giant statues). Anyway, back to Tut, who gave the modern world some idea of the vast fortune of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. His tomb was loaded down with incredible artifacts, jewels and gold, which would have only been a smattering of the wealth belonging to the Pharaoh of Egypt.
