He was SO RICH he DESTROYED entire economies by accident! 💰 Mansa Musa—the African emperor
worth $400 BILLION in today's money! In 1324, he took a pilgrimage to Mecca with 60,000
people, 80 CAMELS carrying 300 pounds of GOLD each, and gave away so
much gold in Egypt that he caused INFLATION for a decade! Cairo's economy literally crashed
because one man was too generous! He built universities, libraries, and mosques across
Africa while Europe was still in the Dark Ages. Mansa Musa was so wealthy,
so powerful, that medieval maps literally drew him holding a golden scepter.
