Who do you think was the richest in human history: Bill Gates or Jenks Khan? Gates is the richest man of our time, but who is the richest person yet in human history?
The answer is complex. It is difficult to compare wealth between different periods of time and different economic systems.
However, Time Magazine, after interviewing historians and economists, ranked the richest 10 people throughout the ages.
Genks Khan, the Emperor of Mongolia, occupied tenth place. He owned the entire empire from China to Europe, and his surplus vine was the key to his influence.
Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, ranked ninth as the richest man in history, having estimated his fortune at about 80 billion dollars.
Eighth was the "Alain Rufus" nephew of the Normandy ruler William the Conqueror in the ninth century. Rufus died with more than $ 100 billion in our time.
In seventh place came John de Rockefeller, who controls 90 percent of US oil production and estimated his fortune in 1918 at $ 1.5 billion.
Andrew Carringi, a Scottish immigrant, sold his company to JPMorgan for $ 372 billion in our time.
The fifth place was Joseph Stalin, whose personal fortune can not be separated from the wealth of the Soviet Union.
The fourth richest man, according to the magazine, is the greatest one, one of India's greatest emperors, and controls an
empire economy that was considered one of the world's largest economies.
China's Emperor Shenzong took third place, which took over tax collection, controlling the world's largest economy at the time.
In second place was Tsar August, who had a fortune now worth about $ 4.6 trillion, and considered Egypt one of his own.
The first, and richest, is Mansa Musa, king of what is now Mali, one of the poorest countries of our time.
But Mali was the biggest producer of gold. It is said about this rich, countless wealth that his generosity caused the collapse of the economy of Egypt during his trip to the pilgrimage, for the large distribution of gold.
