That's just amazing, that someone could of potentially been that rich. No wonder these people owned countries! I'm not surprised that half of them were monarchs though. I can't imagine what it would be like to have 400 billion though, i really can't! But i'm really surprised Gaddafi is on the list, he didn't seem to be wealthy at all

You would probably need 100 transport trucks to steal 100 billion dollars lol

When there's a rich person with enough money to buy their pets things that cost thousands of dollers or more. I will be there to take their money before they can use it to buy another useless item.

No wonder mansa musa always does so well in civ 4

Interesting note about Mansa Musa. When he was traveling to I know not where, he brought a caravan of gold and gave out so much gold that the worth of gold in that area plunged dramatically in such a way that it took many many years to recover. He was that rich...

Number 2 is the reason the world is fucked up.....

The beauty is wealth isn't finite. These guys having tons doesn't mean you can't have tons too! Which is what socialists fail to see.

It was his pilgrimage to Mecca.

Wow, I never expected Gadhafi to be THAT wealthy.

Anyhow, in my mind that is the only example of extreme wealth we can find in today's era. You literally have to be a dictator to accumulate that much wealth - it takes depriving a lot of people.

400billion? Pffft.

Try $30 Trillion.
