Born in 1280 AD, Mansa Musa ascended to the throne of the vast Mali kingdom in West Africa in 1312 AD. His wealth, estimated at nearly USD 400 billion when adjusted for inflation, dwarfs the fortunes of modern titans like (USD 195.8 billion net worth), Jeff Bezos (USD 194.6 billion), or prominent Indian billionaires such as Mukesh Ambani (USD 117.8 billion), Gautam Adani (USD 83.6 billion) or Ratan Tata. In 1324, Mansa Musa embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca, a journey that etched his name into the annals of history.
