Imagine being so rich you break the economy and had to fix it by basically buying it all back.

Ninth in line of the Mansa empire, helped cities like timbuktu and gao develop into very cultural backgrounds, and traveled around the world to help his own city grow as well.

He was accompanied by a caravan consisting of sixty thousand men, including twelve thousand richly dressed servants and supporters. Musa made generous donations to the poor and to charitable organizations as well as the rulers of the lands his entourage crossed. On his stop in Cairo, Egypt, the Emperor gave out so much gold that he generated a brief decline in its value. Cairo’s gold market recovered over a decade later.

Rulers of West African States before Mansa Musa had made the pilgrimage to Mecca, but it was his lavish journey that awakened the world to the riches of Mali. Before long, traders from other parts of Africa, the Middle East, and even from as far away as Europe were seeking to do business there.

Upon his return from Mecca, Mansa Musa brought Arab scholars, government bureaucrats, and architects.  Among those who returned with him was the architect Ishaq El Teudjin who introduced advanced building techniques to Mali, including the use of fired bricks versus sun-dried bricks. He designed numerous buildings for the Emperor including a new palace named Madagou, the mosque at Gao, the second largest city in Mali, and the still-standing great mosque at Timbuktu, the largest city in the empire. That mosque was named the Djinguereber. El Teudjin’s most famous design was the Emperor’s chamber at the Malian capital of Niani.

Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage boosted Islamic education in Mali by adding mosques, libraries, and universities. The great mosque of Sankore was particularly striking. Over the years it also became a center for the teaching of Islamic philosophy and law, paving the way for the later University of Sankore, in addition to bringing increased commerce and scholars, poets, and artisans. In fact, under Mansa Musa, Timbuktu became one of the major cultural centers not only of Africa but of the entire world. Even after the power of Mali declined, Timbuktu remained the major Islamic center of sub-Saharan Africa.
