    His is an enormous cautionary tale. Because he gave away so much wealth (primarily gold), he crashed the economy of everywhere he went. If everyone has gold, then its value drops. So the price of bread (for instance) undergoes giant inflationary pressures. He never meant to cause harm, but it in fact did great harm. Instead of giving away his wealth, he should’ve used it to build something lasting. Billionaires of today need to be careful how they distribute their wealth (if they ever do 🙄), because done the wrong way, it could cause more harm than good

    I first heard about this legend in an Epic Rap Battle of History.
    The guy that plays him, ScruFace Jon, also did a rap about Mansa Musa and its also pretty amazing.
    Ita crazy that they don't teach history classes about people like this in US schools.

    He created a big economic crisis in the middle east. People ended up with tons of golden coins but no silver coins to balance the cash flow. It was like people having hundred dollars bills only and buying stuff became impossible. A very smart man in France called Jack Coeur who had monopoly over the early birth of fashion/à la façon used the king signature to sneak silver from France to Egypt and Levant in exchange of 10 to 15 times its weight for gold which gave France it's added value to fashion and clothing which lasted till this day he was also forced by the french king to finance the war to regain Normandy from the English. It is fascinating how an event in the middle of the desert can affect 2 different continents (Asia and Europe) and human history.

    But what about King Solomon? I’m pretty sure he’d be wealthier considering he ruled around the time of the peak of Jerusalem’s prosperity. Not to mention he had 1000 wives, many of whom would have likely been royalty. To live the life he’d lived, he would have to have been the wealthiest man in human history.
