A new rich list claims to have found the answer of who is the richest of all time - and Bill Gates has been firmly put in his place Share

Rich rewards: Artist's impression of Mansa Musa It's a question which has prompted debate for generations - who is the richest person ever to live?

Now a new rich list claims to have found the answer. And Bill Gates has been firmly put in his place - by Mansa Musa I.

The little-known 14th Century West African King has come out top in the latest rich list, which has been adjusted to account for inflation.

Compiled by website Celebrity Net Worth, the 25-strong list spans 1,000 years and the people on it have a combined wealth of $4.317 trillion (£2.678
trillion).

Only three individuals on the list are alive today - Microsoft tycoon Bill Gates who comes in at number 12, Mexican Business mogul Carlos Slim Helu who came 22nd and US investor Warren Buffett who was placed 25th.

The infamous Rothschild family is placed second.

The list also includes Muammar Gaddafi, William the Conqueror and Scottish industry captain Andrew Carnegie.

But sitting in the top position is Mansa Musa I of Mali - ruler of the Malian Empire which is now modern day Ghana, Timbuktu and Mali.

The obscure leader was born in 1280 and had a personal net worth of $400 billion (£248 billion) by the time he died in 1337.

But just generations after his death, his wealth had diminished as his heirs struggled with civil war and invasions.

Website Celebrity Net Worth said: "We started off with roughly 50 people then finalised the top 25 after adjusting for inflation to bring the fortunes
into 2012 dollars.

"For example, $100 million in the year 1913 is equal to $2.299.63 billion in 2012 dollars thanks to the annual rate of inflation of 2199.6%.

"Our list includes some familiar modern names like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, and older magnates like Vanderbilt and Carnegie.

"This list also includes some lesser known billionaires that you may have never even heard of before.

"And we guarantee the number 1 person on this list will make your jaw drop."

The list advertises itself as the "top 25" but there are actually 26 names on it because there are two people listed at number 22 with an equal fortune of
$68 billion (£42 billion).

There are no women on the list and 14 out of the top 25 are Americans.

Mkuu umenikumbusha mbali sana, hebu nisaidie hapa nakumbuka mwl wangu alimpenda sana huyu King of Mali empire kama sijakosea hapo, alikuwa akipenda kutamka na lile jina lake la kati, kitu kama Mansa Kankani Mussa, hebu hilo jina la kati liweke vizuri mkuu, maana sikumbuki speling vizuri. Penda sana hii kitu, umenirudisha kidato cha pili
 
Kwa wakati ule Ghana ilisifika kwa kuwa ni source ya gold africa na aliimiliki yeye.

Alimiliki pia biashara zote za Afrika magharibi, kaskazini na kati. Wafanyabiashara wote lazima walipe kodi kwake.

Jaribu kuwa mwelewa kwa wakati yeye alipokuwepo utawala wake ulikuwa tajiri na alimiliki mali nyingi sana. Chini ya utawala wake hakukuwa na upungufu wa chakula wala mavazi kwa eneo lote alilolimiliki na ndio alikuwa tajiri kuliko watu wote ulimwenguni

Nilichomaanisha ni kuwa huyu jamaa katika matajiri wote duniani huyu jamaa utajiri wake ulikuwa unatisha licha ya kuwa alifariki miaka 700 iliyopita lakini hadi leo utajiri wake haujawahi kufikiwa. Utajiri wake ulikuwa ni $400 bilioni ambazo ni sawa na trilioni 40 wakati kina Bill Gates bado wapo kwenye trilioni kama 4 hivi.

Mansa kankan Musa alikuwa ni tajiri dunia yote... Alikuwa ana miliki biashara ya gold Africa magharibi kaskazini na kati. Wafanyabiashara wadogo wote walikuwa wanalipa kodi kwake na kumfanya kumiliki utajiri karibu wote wa Africa.

Wakati huo Mali ndio ilikuwa mzarishaji mkubwa wa dhahabu na chumvi. Karibu nusu ya dhahabu na chumvi na dhahabu duniani ilitokea Mali.

Wakati huo karne ya 14 sehemu 3 tajiri kuliko zote ulimwenguni ya kwanza ilikuwa China, ya pili ilikuwa Iran na ya tatu ilikuwa Mali chini ya mansa Musa.

Hiyo karne ya 14 mji mkuu wa Mali yaani Timbuktu ulikuwa ni jiji kubwa mara 5 ya jiji la London kwa wakati huo.

Mansa kankan Musa alikwenda kuhiji Makka na msafara wa watu 60,000 wakisindikizwa na watumwa 12, 000 na alikuwa na ngamia zaidi ya 80 waliobeba viloba vya dhahabu zaidi ya 300 kila ngamia mmoja.

Wakati anakwenda Saud Arabia njiani alikuwa anagawa njiani dhahabu kwa watu mpaka anafika pwani ya Misri. Hii ilisababisha miji ya kibiashara kama Misri na Saudi Arabia kufisirisika kabisa kwa kuwa dhahabu ilishuka thamani sababu kila mtu alikuwa na dhahabu. Misri kwa miaka kumi ilikufa kabisa kiuchumi.

Mansa kankan Musa alianzisha maktqba mjini Timbuktu. Timbuktu jiji Kuu la mali ndio ilikuwa Paris ya dunia wakati huo, kulikuwa na raha zote.

Mansa aliakikisha kila family ndani ya Mali ina home library yenye vitabu. Kulikuwa na vitabu vya mathematics, medicine, law ushahiri na unajimu.

Encyclopedia ya kwanza duniani ilitengenezwa Mali karne ya 14.

Kipind hicho majiji makubwa Africa yalikuwa ni Timbuktu, kumasi, kilwa.

Nilikuwa nawarudisha class kidogo vijana. Next time!
 
Kwa huo utajiri aliokuwa nao Mansa kankan Musa kuna binadamu atakuja kufikia kiwango kama hicho?

Wakati safari yake kwanza kwenda kuhiji (hija) aligawa vipande vya dhahabu njia nzima. Msafara wake ulikuwa mkubwa sana
