Mansa Musa is the richest man in the world because he had $400 billion.

He left no emir or holder of a royal office without the gift of a load of gold." This shows that Mansa Musa was rich enough to fill Cairo with gold. He gave the people of Cairo a huge amount of gold. Another piece of evidence is in document a it states, "The 14th century emperor from West Africa was worth a staggering $400, after adjusting for inflation, as calculated by Celebrity Net Worth." This shows that being worth this much means he must be rich.

I do have evidence to say yes to that. In document A it states "The 14th century emperor from west Africa was worth a staggering $400 billon" and I have more evidence. In Document A it states "his country's vast natural resources." This explains that he has a lot of money. In Document A it even say's "Mansa Musa of Mali Named World's Richest Man Of All Time;" on the topic of Document A  https://padlet.com/laurielou73/or885ys5en8g/wish/135156481   ]]> 2016-11-03 16:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/laurielou73/or885ys5en8g/wish/135156481 Peyton Enriquez https://padlet.com/laurielou73/or885ys5en8g/wish/135156855 Yes I think Mansa Musa is the richest man in the world because in the first article it said after he died he left the empire filled with palaces and mosques. Another example is that Mansa Musa was worth 400 billion. That's a lot of money for an emperor. The last  example is " Musa's fortune far outstrip that of the currents world's richest man Carlos Slim Helu and family. Document A: Blog Post." that's why Mansa Musa is the richest man in the world.

    The first reason is that three different sources talked about him being the richest man alive two of which that were in his time. This is the first reason why Mansa Musa was the richest man alive.                                                              The second reason is all the sources talked about him having 100's of pounds of gold on his camels.
