Dive into the extraordinary story of Mansa Musa, the 14th-century ruler of the Mali Empire, often regarded as the wealthiest individual in history. With an estimated fortune surpassing $400 billion, Mansa Musa's wealth was built on the vast resources of gold and salt in his empire. This video explores his legendary pilgrimage to Mecca, which not only displayed his immense wealth but also had a profound impact on the economies of the regions he passed through.
Learn about how Mansa Musa's generous distributions of gold devalued the commodity in Egypt and the architectural and educational legacies he left behind in cities like Timbuktu. We'll compare his historical wealth to today's billionaires like Bernard Arnault, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk, highlighting the differences in how wealth was accumulated and utilized.
Join us as we explore the implications of Mansa Musa's wealth on global trade, culture, and education during his time, and how his legacy of spending and building continues to be relevant in discussions of wealth and power dynamics today.
