Mansa Musa, born in Africa in 1280, was the tenth king of the Mali Sultanate, he was the merchant of gold and salt.
Musa is considered to be the richest man in the history of the world
In 1312, after the reign of Abu Bakr, the Mali Empire took over the reins of Mansa Musa.
At this time, Mali was the largest producer of gold, and natural resources such as gold and salt were abundant in Mali.
Mansa Musa came to the notice of the world when he did Haj pilgrimage in 1324. Then there were 80 camels in this journey, in which 136 kg of gold was loaded on each camel.
Mansa Musa told the whole world about the Mali Sultanate in the journey of that Hajj. It is said that 60 thousand people were involved in musa convoy.
After returning from Mecca, the whole world came to know about Musa.
After his Haj pilgrimage many people raised their hands to his gold, especially Europeans who had a famine at that time.
Mansa Musa was known not only for his richness but also for his kindness.
It is said that the place where his convoy passed would give gold coins to beggars.
Musa also greatly improved the economic condition of the people of his kingdom.
He conquered about 24 cities during his reign.
His army consisted of 2 lakh soldiers, it was not common at that time to keep such a large army.
While going to Haj, Musa' convoy passed through Egypt, where it is said that Musa scattered the gold coins after seeing Egypt's Poverty.
After returning from Haj, Mansa Musa built many large mosques in Mali and also built several universities and libraries in Timbuktu.
If we talk about the wealth of Musa, then Mansa Musa had immense wealth at that time and his net worth at that time was about 400 billion dollars,Who made it the richest man in the world so far.
If Mansa Musa were alive at this time, maybe Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates would not be able to compete against it in wealth.
It is believed that he donated 72000 pounds of gold to the poor of Egypt, whose price today is about 1.7 billion dollars in Modern Day.
The first university in Timbuktu and the largest library in Africa was also built by Mansa Musa.
But even today no one knows when Mansa Musa died, many historians believe that he died in 1337.
Mansa Musa also builted a unique and amazing mosque in his time, known as djinguereber mosque. Which is still in Mali country, which cost 1.7 million dollars to build, which is about 13 crores according to Indian Rupees.
Ibn Battuta, a Moroccan traveler and writer, traveled to Mali Empire for the 14th century, and wherever he traveled till that time, among them he described Mali as the safest and peaceful place in the world. Because there had no mercy for criminals.
Mansa Musa immortalized his name not only for his richness but also for his kindness.
