ugh..
It seems like it would be impossible to accurately estimate his wealth in modern us dollars. The only sorces that they have to go on are from places that he stopped in for a couple of days on his way to mecca if i’m not mistaken
It is not a correct comparison
Mansamusa global economy didn't work the same way, no one would build mosques out of pure gold because they don't have full control of their wealth, devolution is how you keep loads of money
Even if he had that much money, what did he do with it?
Are those sources comments from locals about what they did (spent money) or what?
Unsurprising that the story of that "king" seems completely ridden with nonsense and is some obscure story

I mean, mansa musa was insanely rich, but
absolutely this
we really anachronistically apply our economic framework
I thought Putin was worth 50 million.
these, and also crassus would be a contender for richest man also (and obviously arguable), he was most likely the richest roman in history at least
True. Croesus od Lydia is also a contender.
Yes from what i have been able to find those kinds of recordings of his spending sprees in north africa are the only documented sources of his wealth
imagine trying to determine trump's wealth just from receipts, not exactly scientific 2bh

Yeah he bought more gold plated cars and a bigger jet then bezzos therefore he is richer than him
If you have a better source to determine his wealth relative to bezzos and rockefeller feel free to share it
