Mansa Musa lived from 1280-1337, and ruled the Malian Empire which covered mordern day Ghana,Timbuktu and Mali in West Africa.
Mansa musa's massive wealth came from his country's vast production of more than half the world's supply of salt and Gold. Mansa used his wealth to build massive mosques that still stands today, nearly 700 years later.
His kingdom and wealth didnt last long after his death. His heirs were not able to fend off civil war and invading conquerors.
Just two generations later, his world record net worth was gone.
