The Man Who Was Worth $120 Trillion

According to Forbes, the richest people in the world currently are all worth more than a hundred billion dollars. Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are two people who have been there for a while with the likes of Elon Musk being newcomers to the 12-digit club. But do you believe that these people haven't even made enough money to compete with the world's richest man? That's right, especially when you create an all-time list of the richest men on the planet - both past and present. This would have to include the pioneers and emperors that lived centuries ago.

After doing this, you would discover an emperor who lived with a total net worth of $120 trillion US dollars if adjusted to the present time. This means his wealth is equivalent to three times the total net worth of all the companies in the world. This guy was so rich, he had enough money to buy America, the top 2000 companies in the world, and support his 6 wives. I mean we can understand how rich he was when we found out he could support 6 wives at the same time. He owned 1000 castles, 300.000 horses, and 3 million Bugattis worth of Gold and Diamonds.

Can you imagine that? Who is he? How is he even able to amass such immense wealth? To the Chinese, he was viewed as a filthy barbaric pest. And in fact, he is one of the world's most influential warlords in human history. It's no other person than the Mongol Emperor - Genghis Khan!
