    Your video makes no sense. First, it's very Western Mediterranean centric. Asia was always the richest place until very recently. The second idea that Judah had more wealth than Egypt is simply unbelievable. I know you're looking at Western books.But for example, the kings in India had more wealth than the British government. That's why britain , France , and everybody else was trying to trade or conquer them. It's the same thing with China.

    In the 20th century, you forgot about Robert Maxwell of Maxwell Corporation, a billionaire media tycoon, not until somewhere in the early 90s he died and accidentally fell of his yacht and drowned, the successor, his son Kevin Maxwell became the next head, and then Maxwell Corporation ended up to bankruptcy (especially Robert Maxwell stole money from the pension funds of his own company, more like stealing your own company's money).

    Some great moments in this video.

    Also wouldn't it be harder to estimate Masnsa's net worth because he literally just gave so much away?

    I bet you wish be in position of king Salomon with a number of wives. Surely I do.
    This ending 26:50 conclusion is a just Moral conclusion. To enjoy what you have.
    The technology we enjoy is very important to us. However it's not provide happiness itself. Instead distraction from our problems.

    The problem with incelhood turning men to look in past instead solely focus on conveniences of loneliness.

    If you’re gonna use the Bible as proof for Solomon’s wealth, i’ll use Batman as proof of Bruce Wayne’s wealth. Fuck off with your fairytales.

    Not gonna lie. The way you pronounce Genghis Khan really threw me for a loop I’ve always heard it pronounced as (Gang Gus Kahn) and while I don’t truly know which way is correct and this is by no means a correction or anything I just thought my own reaction to hearing it was kinda funny and thought I would share. Literally had to double take the first time I heard it. Great episode. Very well done. You have my subscription.

    Obviously Mansa Musa – the whole world said this at the time and have said this ever since – the bro caused massive inflation in big powerful countries (Arab empire was ruling the world at that point) just by visiting places! Nobody else even comes close to this.

    I never really considered the wealth and power vs convenience factor. I'm living like a king out here with my new balances and modern insulation

    Mansa musa was not just rich in money. He's also rich in happiness. Musk can spend all the money he wants and is still clearly a miserable bastard. Nobody who is truly happy would be so obsessed with being seen as cool and smart and edgey to extremely cringe levels. Mansa musa was sharing his wealth while on spiritual and religious pilgrimages. Bro was just happy. Bro was loved as he was, not because he "am become meme."

    you could have included a good point of reference for the majority of people large numbers are incomprehensible for example A trillion people would be 10 times more people than have ever lived in the entire history of earth

    The BIBLE is real! King Solomon was a good king that made all his gold through the power of love not slavery and overtaxation. 1000 women isn't a manwhore… he just had too much love to give!! The bible also says that man was created last on the 6th day then the next chapter says man first and every living thing follows. Yup! Bible is factual… no contradictions at all…
