Mansa Musa's stories about his wealth is real. When he make a pilgrimage to Mecca, he brought along gold carried by a convoy of camels, which is so long that it's said, it takes one full day for an entire convoy to pass. During his journey, he visited numerous cities, buying supplies and donating his gold to the poor (Islam values charity, especially when you make a pilgrimage to it's holy city, you REALLY want to make as much good deeds as possible). What he didn't know that, once he reached Mecca, the gold circulation on the place he visited has become so saturated that it crashed the gold market price. When he's back from Mecca, he realized what he has done and simply buying back all the gold he has circulated in order to stabilize the market. That's how rich he is, he single-handedly destabilizes a gold market of an entire nation (or possibly entire Africa) by having way too much gold, then simply buy back all gold in circulation to stabilize the market back. No one has ever repeated what he did, even today
0:47 On the note of Crassus. His wealth is largely exaggerated. By the end of the first triumvirate, both Caesar and Pompey eclipsed Crassus in wealth and power. Caesar thanks to his conquests in Gaul was becoming very wealthy. This was one of the reasons why Crassus was so motivated to go out and try to fight against the Parthians. He felt himself becoming subordinate to what should have been his equals. Augustus himself was wealthier than all of them. He had Egypt made his own personal province. Egypt during the classical age was extremely wealthy. Augustus poured money into it to help rebuild neglected infrastructure and to improve administration so that it became a major cash cow for him and his dynasty. The Caesars, or the Julio-Claudians were one of the richest families to have ever existed by this fact alone.
You missed with Rockefeller that when the gov't did break up standard oil, he just bought up a majority of stock in all the smaller companies, essentially owning all of them anyway.
It's a shame you just breezed through Mansa Musa. He went on a pilgrimage to Mecca, giving out so much gold that he caused inflation of the price of gold in many cities, making gold almost worthless.
You do that and people will starve, and revolt, miraculously communism somehow manages to thwart even that though, more effectively than anything really, ironic, revolution born from something, that will not permit revolution
Fun fact: Mansa Musa’s real name was Kankan Musa. Mansa (Monza) is Mandinka for king. In some parts of Mali and Senegal, mentioning his name can get you killed.
@@AO00720 Because many people believe his spending of gold (largely in reference to what he spent on the hajj) is behind why Mali and Senegal (both were part of the empire back then) are so poor, which isn’t true at all. All the same, in many places, mentioning him can get you killed and in many more, griots (West African oral storytellers) just refuse to mention him. Initially, griots claimed they didn’t like him because he had adopted many more Arab/Islamic customs than previous rulers, which in turn affected Mali’s culture.

7:20 it's worth to mention, how he got into idea of setting up a ,,Rockefeller Foundation" - one day in XIXth Century he sent his representatives to Northeastern Austria-Hungary, in today's Southeastern Poland, to meet Ignacy Łukasiewicz - the first man that had ever started an oil industry, found first usage of oil, and - what was most important for Rockefeller - found a way to extract petroleum. When those representatives came to him, offering as much money as he wants for selling them a receipt, Ignacy gave a full lecture, how to do it. Representatives wrote it down and asked for price. In response Ignacy Łukasiewicz said, that if this Rockefeller was really such a nice man, then tell him to use this money in positive way - support local communities, help poor, and etc. That's how Rockefeller Foundation was founded. To be honest this Polish oil baron had less better end. He was also using his huge fortune to fund local communities, schools, and etc., but his oil empire had collapsed some time after his death. Then his wife, that got used to lavish lifestyle in which she was living, couldn't handle nor the business, or huge money she inherited, not so long time after various people started to demand money that ,,her husband was owning them" and died in poverty.
