    Mansa Musa of Mali. His wealth was in the trillions. He basically showed up in Cairo with a bunch of his buddies in tow and spent so much and so lavishly, including just handing out gold to everyone, that he wrecked Egypt’s economy for a decade. He owned something like half the world gold reserves at the time.
