3. Alexander the Great

Okay, so there are technically no real numbers to back up Alexander the Great’s claim as one of history’s richest figures, but here are the facts: By the time he was 25, he’d buckled the previously mighty Persian empire, expanding his Macedonian kingdom all the way from Greece to Egypt. By the time of his death in 323 B.C. at the age of 33, his kingdom spanned three continents and stretched about 2 million square miles. So, it’s safe to say Alexander the Great had quite a chunk of change waiting for him at home.
