The Richest Man of All Time

[IM2]

Before European colonization, it is written that Africa had up to10,000 states or nations with different languages and customs. There have been numerous kingdoms and dynasties on that continent. Mali was one of the biggest. And one of the rulers was named Mansa Musa. Mansa Musa is the richest man in the history of the world. That's right, a black man is the richest man in history.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can do without.

Not sure why you consider this a good thing. He became rich exploiting other black people, including slaves.

Or is slavery only bad when white people own you?

So .. does he get a free pass on slavery IM2 ?

Considering the world population ratio as compared to today he had close to a billion slaves. Even I would get reparations from his ancestors.
