>wealthiest person in history was nigger muslim/pol/ is this true?
>>524217766The slave trader?
>>524217766No.He was "rich" because "his" empire's land had mountains of gold and minerals valued in trillions of dollars. that weren't ever mined.Now that land are just normal countries

>>524217766Genghis Khan was wealthier. He was Asian.
>>524217766>memeflag>posting mud (((house))) (((richest man)))is that one of the subjects they make you pick for shilling for a few cents of ruppies, poojet?
>>524217766>>524218189Nope, it isn't true; he wasn't even the wealthiest person in northern africa.
>>524217766Seeing gold as the ultimate value is worthy of names like Goldberg and Silverstein.
>>524217766Probably not now that we live in an age of hyper billionaires but at the time Timbuktu was a vital corridor between subsaharan Africa and the rest of the world. Whoever controlled it basically controlled a bottle neck of trade supply lines.
>>524217766So as a comic nerd I think a way to understand his wealth is like DoctorDoom/Black panther vs Tony Stark/Bruce WayneOwning a nation and having access to vast amounts of resources and power vs having a shit ton of money.
He pumped and dumped gold on the medieval market like a chad. Crashed the Egyptian economy on his way to Mecca. Crashed the Arabian economy near Mecca. All within his lifetime. Now Egyptians sing songs of praise about him dropping gibs and Timbuktu survives on salt mining and tourism.
>>524217766Rich cause he took out a loan for a hellcat and shieettt
>>524217766He had so much gold that it actually devalued it as a currency.
>>524217766Ah, the legendary Alberto Barbossa
>>524217766now imagine investing that gold to modernize Mali instead of hoarding it all for himself. might not have even needed to sell so many slaves later
>>524217766Actually the carbon testing on his bones showed that he was white. Checkmate, shitskins
>>524220095Considering how annoying Egyptian beggars are to tourists it was hilarious how Mansa Musa messed up their economy on purpose to get rid of the excess gold Mali. Couldn't have picked a better group of beggars to screw over even if he tried.
>>524217766>is this thing about an African south-west of Egypt trueno
talk to anyone from Mali about him. they're ashamed of him because he took their gold reserves OUT of the country during his pilgrimage
>>524220400That is where he really screwed up. He thought just buying some books and building a mud mosque and university was enough. Could have invested in various engineering projects and stone buildings.
>>524217766Gained his wealth mostly from the slave trade.
