Perseus76 2nd Gear October 17, 2012 Share October 17, 2012 Well, IIRC the Chinese had a currency and banking system since before Han so there must be some means to quantify wealth. Only if the comprehensive records have survived through the many wars, dynasty change and plunder. exactly.....the records like you say is not comprehensive or unreliable anymore... maybe our very own king could be in the list, should his wealth had a comprehensive records...

Scion Turbocharged October 18, 2012 Author Share October 18, 2012 (edited) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musa_I_of_Mali interesting history about the "richest" man in history - he single-handedly controlled the price of gold in the Arabia - he built a mosque every Friday on his trip to Mecca - his Malian Empire had more than 400 cities a pity that his empire crumbled after his death, might be a turning point in history if not, millions of blacks might not be captured as slaves by the white colonists 3-4 centuries later Edited October 18, 2012 by Scion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
