Alan Rufus is a close companion of William the Conqueror. Like William the Conqueror, Alan Rufus died a very rich man. In adjusting his fortune to modern equivalents by accounting for inflation, he was worth approximately $178.65 billion. Coming in part from the 250,000 acres (“the Land of Count Alan”) conceded to him in Yorkshire in 1071 by the King for his cooperation in the invasion. This figure puts him as one of the richest people in human history.

Alan Rufus was a major employer of skilled labour to build abbeys, castles and manor-houses across Norman England. Some of which remain in evidence today. As an example, the original manor house of Costessey Hall in Norfolk still stands on the north side of the river Tud in Costessey Park. Beneath Richmond Castle, Alan founded the beautiful town of Richmond, North Yorkshire.

Cornelius Vanderbilt also known by the sobriquet Commodore, was an American industrialist who built his wealth in shipping and railroads. He was also the patriarch of the Vanderbilt family and one of the richest people in Americans in history. He provided the initial gift to found Vanderbilt University, which is named in his honor.

Vanderbilt was born in Staten Island, New York and began working on his father’s ferry in New York Harbor as a boy, quitting school at the age of 11. At the age of 16, Vanderbilt decided to start his own ferry service. According to one version of events, he borrowed $100 from his mother to purchase a periauger (a shallow draft, two masted sailing vessel).

However, according to the version of the first published account of his life, published in the magazine Scientific American in 1853, the periauger belonged to his father and he received half the profit. He began his business by ferrying freight and passengers between Staten Island and Manhattan.

Henry Ford was the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. Ford did not invent the automobile, but he developed and manufactured the first automobile that many middle class Americans could afford to buy. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As owner of the Ford Motor Company, he became one of the richest people in the world. He is credited with “Fordism“:  mass production of inexpensive goods coupled with high wages for workers.

Ford’s philosophy was one of economic independence for the United States. His River Rouge Plant became the world’s largest industrial complex, pursuing vertical integration to such an extent that it could produce its own steel. Ford’s goal was to produce a vehicle from scratch without reliance on foreign trade. He believed in the global expansion of his company. He believed that international trade and cooperation led to international peace. And he used the assembly line process and production of the Model T to demonstrate it.

He is known as Jakob Fugger the Rich or sometimes Jakob II. Fugger was a major merchant, mining entrepreneur and banker of Europe between ca. 1495-1525. He was a descendant of the Fugger merchant family located in the Free Imperial City of Augsburg, where he was also born and later also

The foundation of the family’s wealth was created mainly by the textile trade with Italy. The company grew rapidly after the brothers Ulrich, Georg and Jakob began banking transactions with the House of Habsburg as well as the Roman Curia, and at the same time began mining operations in Tyrol, and from 1493 on the extraction of silver and copper in the present Czech Republic and Slovakia. As of 1525 they also had the right to mine quicksilver and cinnabar in Almadén.

Becomes the Grand Burgher of Augsburg

Elevated through marriage to Grand Burgher of Augsburg (German Großbürger zu Augsburg). Within a few decades, he expanded the family firm to a business operating in all of Europe. He began his education with the age of 14 in Venice, which also remained his main residence until 1487. At the same time he was a cleric and held several prebendaries, even though he never lived in a monastery.

At his death on 30 December 1525 Jakob Fugger bequeathed to his nephew Anton Fugger company assets totaling 2,032,652 guilders. He is considered to be one of the richest people of all time. Today he is well known as Jakob Fugger ‘the Rich’. He is among the most well known Germans and arguably the most famous citizen of Augsburg. In 1967 a bust of him was placed in the Walhalla, a “hall of fame” near Regensburg that honors laudable and distinguished Germans.

(6 April 1886 – 24 February 1967)

Mir Osman Ali Khan

He was the last Nizam (or ruler) of the Princely State of Hyderabad and of Berar. Ruled Hyderabad between 1911 and 1948, until it was merged into India. He was styled His Exalted Highness The Nizam of Hyderabad.

During his days as Nizam, he was reputed to be the richest man in the world, having a fortune estimated at US$2 billion in the early 1940s ($32.8 billion in today dollars) or 2 per cent of the US economy then. At that time the treasury of the newly independent Union government of India reported annual revenue of US$1 billion only.

He was featured on the cover of TIME magazine, portrayed as such. The Nizam is widely believed to have remained as the richest man in South Asia until his death in 1967, though his fortunes fell to US$1 billion by then and became a subject of multiple legal disputes between bitterly fighting rival descendants. His wealth include a vast private treasury. Its coffers were said to contain £100m in gold and silver bullion, and a further £400m of jewels.

Among them was the fabulously rare Jacob diamond, valued at some £100m (2008), and used by the Nizam as a paperweight. There were pearls, too – enough to pave Piccadilly – hundreds of race horses, thousands of uniforms, tonnes of royal regalia and Rolls-Royces by the dozen. Calculating his modern day worth by accounting for inflation, the Nizam was worth $236 billion, making him one of the wealthiest people to have ever lived.

5. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia Net Worth = $300 Billion

Tsar Nicholas II of Russia

Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, born in 1868 as Nikolai Alexandrovich into the House of Romanov, was the emperor of the Russian Empire from 1894 until the February Revolution of 1917. Around age 48 (in 1916) his wealth was valued at up to US$881 million, which equals US$290 billion in today’s money.

He is seen as the wealthiest monarch and head of state in history and further as the wealthiest saint as the Russian Orthodox Church declared him, his wife and his children martyrs after being murdered in 1918 by the Bolsheviks.

Under his rule, Russia was humiliatingly defeated in the Russo-Japanese War, which saw the almost total annihilation of the Russian Baltic Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima. The Anglo-Russian Entente, designed to counter German attempts to gain influence in the Middle East, ended the Great Game between Russia and the United Kingdom. As head of state, Nicholas approved the Russian mobilization of August 1914, which marked the beginning of Russia’s involvement in World War I, a war in which 3.3 million Russians were killed

At the time of his death, his net worth was $900 million, which is the inflation adjusted equivalent to $305 billion in today’s dollars, thus making him one of the richest people in human history

4. Andrew Carnegie Net Worth = $310 Billion

(November 25, 1835 – August 11, 1919)

Andrew Carnegie

Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, and emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1848. Carnegie started as a telegrapher and by the 1860s had investments in railroads, railroad sleeping cars, bridges and oil derricks. He built further wealth as a bond salesman raising money for American enterprise in Europe. He built Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Steel Company, which he sold to J.P. Morgan in 1901 for $480 million, creating the U.S. Steel Corporation.

Carnegie devoted the remainder of his life to large-scale philanthropy. With special emphasis on local libraries, world peace, education and scientific research.

From the fortune he made from business, he built Carnegie Hall, and founded the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Carnegie Institution for Science, Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, Carnegie Hero Fund, Carnegie Mellon University and the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, among others. His life has often been referred to as a true “rags to riches” story.

3. Mansa Musa Net Worth = $400 Billion

(c. 1280 – c. 1337)

Mansa Musa I of Mali Empire

Mansa Musa, was the tenth Mansa, which translates as “King of Kings” or “Emperor”, of the wealthy Malian Empire. Musa made his pilgrimage in 1324, his procession reported to include 60,000 men, 12,000 slaves who each carried 4-lb gold bars, heralds dressed in silks who bore gold staffs, organized horses and handled bags. Musa provided all necessities for the procession, feeding the entire company of men and animals.

Also in the train were 80 camels, which varying reports claim carried between 50 and 300 pounds of gold dust each. He gave away the gold to the poor he met along his route. Musa not only gave to the cities he passed on the way to Mecca, including Cairo and Medina, but also traded gold for souvenirs. Also, it has been recorded that he built a mosque each and every Friday.

Musa’s journey was documented by several eyewitnesses along his route, who were in awe of his wealth and extensive procession. Records exist in a variety of sources, including journals, oral accounts and histories to support this. Musa is known to have visited with the Mamluk sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad of Egypt in July 1324.

Misplaced Generosity

Musa’s generous actions, however, inadvertently devastated the economy of the region. In the cities of Cairo, Medina and Mecca, the sudden influx of gold devalued the metal for the next decade. Prices on goods and wares super inflated in an attempt to adjust to the newfound wealth that was spreading throughout local populations.

To rectify the gold market, Musa borrowed all the gold he could carry from money-lenders in Cairo, at high interest. This is the only time recorded in history that one man directly controlled the price of gold in the Mediterranean. The amount of gold he controlled is valued at $400billion in today’s market, making him one of the richest people ever lived.

2. John D. Rockefeller – Net Worth = $663.4 billion

John D. Rockefeller

He was the founder of the Standard Oil Company, which dominated the oil industry. He was the first great U.S. business trust. Rockefeller revolutionized the petroleum industry and defined the structure of modern philanthropy. In 1870, he founded Standard Oil Company and aggressively ran it until he officially retired in 1897.

SEE ALSO: How to Create Wealth with Little Money

Rockefeller founded Standard Oil as an Ohio partnership with his brother William along with Henry Flagler, Jabez Bostwick, chemist Samuel Andrews, and a silent partner, Stephen V. Harkness. As kerosene and gasoline grew in importance, Rockefeller’s wealth soared and he became the world’s richest man and the first American worth more than a billion dollars. Adjusting for inflation, he is often regarded as the richest person in history.

Rockefeller spent the last 40 years of his life in retirement. His fortune was mainly used to create the modern systematic approach of targeted philanthropy. He was able to do this through the creation of foundations that had a major effect on medicine, education and scientific research. His foundations pioneered the development of medical research and were instrumental in the eradication of hookworm and yellow fever.

1. King Solomon Net Worth = $2.1 Trillion

[Worth $1.056 trillion in 1992] (Reign 970 to 931 BCE)

King Solomon of Jerusalem

King Solomon in one of his famous judgement where he earned the title of The Wisest Man | Art by: FeelingSuccess.com

The Bible states that King Solomon held a fortune that dwarfed any and every person who lived before him. This made him the richest person ever lived in the world. King Solomon reigned for 40 years. Each year, he received 25 tons of gold.

1 ton of Gold is worth $64.3 Million dollars at $2000/oz Therefore, 25 tone times 40 years of his reign amounts to $64,300,800,000

This did not include income derived from business, trade, nor the annual tribute paid to him by all of the kings and governors of Arabia.

Gold in the Palace

King Solomon’s throne was coated in pure gold and inlaid with ivory. It had 6 stairs, 12 lion statues (1 on either side of each step) and a solid gold foot stool. Two larger lion statues stood on either side of the throne.

All of the goblets and household articles in Solomon’s palace were pure gold. He was reportedly so rich, that during the years of his reign over Jerusalem, the immense wealth caused silver to be considered of little value and as common as rocks. As such, nothing in Solomon’s palace was made of silver.

The same devaluation was noted of cedar wood in the region. A lumber which was considered to be of great monetary value and cultural significance by many societies at the time. Some historians claim that the Tawil family from Azech in Tur Abddin (modern day Idil in Şırnak Province, Turkey) used to be the private goldsmiths of Solomon.

      its creepy that in king Solomon there holding babies bruh what the heck screw that picture of the crew people probaly giving their babys away

      • Naomie Matthews March 11, 2018

        Actually that is a picture of one of his most famous rulings of favors for the common populists.
        The Story gose that two women sisters had baby’s at a similar age and they lived together. One night one of the mothers accidentally rolled over on her child in her sleep and killed it. She then stole away her sisters child and left her dead child in her sisters bed. The sister was so distroute that she went to King Salomon to get her child from the other mother. The two argued fiercely claiming that each was the live child’s mother. Nither gave up so the King came up with a wonderful idea he brought the child in and said that if ether can’t back down he will split the child and give each mother one half of the child. The Mother that killed her child agreed to the terms and the other said she will give up her clame to the child so that it would not be harmed. The King then gave the child to the mother who gave up her clame and threw the other in prison for lying and child theft.
        You can find it in the King James Bible
        1 Kings 3:16-28
        Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him. And the one woman said, O my Lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house. And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlaid it. And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king. Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my Lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof. And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.

    That brother Solomon was so rich he would make Bill Gates and Warren Buffet look like poor men today. And the funny part about it is that he believed in God, and he loved God. That proves you don't necessarily have to sell your soul to be rich, because you can be blessed in your finances and still walk with Christ. Also I don't think that's how Solomon looked like, he was black

    • Anonymous January 28, 2015

      In that part of the world I would imagine that all natives were black, or of a dark complexion, but remember King Solomon had several "Foreign" wives; he likely had kids (descendants) of various hues.

    • Anonymous May 13, 2015

      Solomon was a Jew. He would not be black, nor white like the picture depicts, but rather a hue in between.

    • King Wheeler December 16, 2015

Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept."

      God's word is true and it says he is black.

      • ChrisCooper September 27, 2016

        If you keep reading, he says that he is black from being in the sun. This strongly implies that he was not naturally black. His ethnicity was not what we would term ‘black’ today. He was just very dark skinned. Of course it’s quite common in some areas of the middle east.

      Yes it’s the shulamite (young Palestinian woman) speaking, not Solomon. She says “I am dark because the sun has tanned me”. It’s not her natural colour. Solomon was a Jew, whether he was black or not doesn’t matter.
      What matters is our love for God and His begotten son Jesus Christ who died for us all, and love for our fellow man.

      This text refers to King Solomon’s wife. Solomon himself was probably of mixed race as his family tree included non-Jewish bloodlines:Ruth and Rahab. Plus his mother Bathsheba may not have been Jewish. What difference does it make as to his color. Truly he was not European but the most revealing thing is God does not lie. HE ordained Solomon to be wealthiest this article testifies to the truth of that or dination. The Bible says that God says that when he speaks his word comes to pass so we need to pay attention in this day and age of confusion.

    • Kaytee Pearson May 5, 2016

He was not African, but Jewish, and he had many different wife’s of mixed races, of different color! Read the whole verse, and not just what you want to filter in!

  • legend77 August 16, 2016

    Jew, African, mixed race…….it doesn’t matter. God ordained Solomon to be the richest man that ever lived. With God His word is final and incontrovertible. Despite his (Solomon’s weaknesses and foibles) God overlooked them to confirm the immutability of His decrees.

    I will agree that each of the people mentioned above (including King Solomon) were tremendously wealthy, even by today’s standards. However, the Rothschild family has a combined wealth of $500 Trillion and effectively controls all but 3 of the world’s central banks. 12 other families in the world exert similar control over the world’s banks (For all intents and purposes, it can be said that these 13 families effectively rule the world). We do not hear about these families or their tremendous influence over the world’s financial system because they choose to conduct their business outside the public view. Furthermore, each and every one of these families has profited from every recession and war in human history, irrespective of the ultimate victor. Amschel Rothschild was once quoted as saying “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws.”

    Be very clear on this fact: None of these families are immune from God’s Final Judgment. The Bible is very clear that God will oppose all of our idols (including money, status and material wealth). That said, it is no coincidence that the purchasing power of the USD has steadily declined over the last century. One scripture states “who can withstand the winepress of God’s anger?” Without exception, the righteous will go to heaven and the wicked will go to hell. Three other scriptural truths are particularly relevant as well: God is not mocked; all mockers shall have their part in the Lake of Fire, which burns day and night for all eternity; My second comment: Read the story of “Lazarus and the rich man”; My third and final comment: there is another scripture which states “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the gates of heaven.”

    No man will know the exact day and hour of Christ’s return, but we can know the signs and seasons that his return is imminent. For example, the Bible states that Christ will not return until every nation has heard his name; the beginning of The End Times will be marked by a 100-hour war over oil and linens (the first Gulf War); the seasons will blend together (we have experienced 60-degree weather in December and 40-degree weather in March); One-third of all living things (including humans) will perish: one-third of the bee population is mysteriously vanishing; there will be wars and rumors of war; another scripture states that any nation that turns their back on Israel will be cursed; it goes on to say that in the Last Days, Israel will be like a rose in Winter; The Bible goes on to talk about an enemy from the North (geographic directions in the Bible are always with respect to Israel; “enemy from the (extreme) North” –> Refer to Ezekiel 38:2. There are multiple candidates, a few of which could include Russia, Iran, Ethiopia, Libya, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan.

    • GAK August 11, 2017

      Before I reply to the content of your text, let me correct some statements that were made in it. Nobody owns or controls anything. Psalm 24:1-Everything and everybody, belong to God.
      Haggi 2:8-All the silver and all the gold belong to the LORD. Deuteronomy 8:18-God gives us the ability to get wealth. Proverbs 13:22-The wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. Proverbs 19:21-There are many plans in a man’s mind, but it’s God’s plan that will stand. Daniel 4:24-37-God is in control and knows how to strip a haughty man down and bring him to his knees. He Is God. And the scripture about the rich man states it this way. It is easier for a camel to go though the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
      Now concerning your statement about the wealth of the Rothschild family, you used the term “combined wealth.” It is still not a comparison to the wealth God “gave” King Solomon, if theirs is combined and his stands alone. Besides the worth of the gold he received for the 40 years he reigned as King, no account has been made for two other streams of income he had; his business and trade income and the tribute paid to him by kings and governors.
      God gave Solomon his wealth. And nobody, no where at no time will ever be able to out-do, match or supercede anything that God does. To this day, King Solomon is still # 1 as the richest person that has ever lived.

  • JerryOJ December 10, 2017

    God will always give, if you meet up with His will; “PRINCIPLE” to effect change; releasing a heart-felt offering at the demand of the Spirit. Do not forget that King Solomon tapped the secret of making wealth and sacrificed the necessities. He was affiliated with Egyptian secrets and having enough to offer. the question is; “Where did his soul resides today? Ask the BIBLE. I tell you something, and don’t be deceived, for fact that God will not let you have that riches which will surely be a trick to damnation, if you are a candidate of Salvation in Christ Jesus.

    The last 4 people you have listed, the networth is completely out of order, and widely inaccurate. For one King Solomon is not even on the list at all.

    • Jason Bourne March 10, 2018

      Did you not just read what this states about King Solomons’ Wealth? It is documented that King Solomon existed, in various sources other than the Bible. But your heart is what causes you to neglect it’s truth. You see, not just Christians believe the words of the “Bible” are true. However, the Jewish people also believe in the words of the first at least 15 books of the Bible. Called by the names the Torah and the Prophets. These scriptures have been incredibly linked though they may have have many authors, the stories are all congruent and the timelines never contradict. Yet it is your heart that is causing the disbelief and drive for you not to believe. There is a supernatural hold on you causing you to be disbelieving. If this were any other Book with any other content, any other story, or with any hero, you would be all about it calling if fact. There is as much proof in King Solomon existing as any other of these Rich men of History. There isn’t a discrepancy in the amount of information available or sources that prove to his existence, however, it is your heart that is causing you to be so neglecting of this fact.

      Ask yourself that question. Why do I want to dismiss this truth so fervently? Why does it make me so upset? It is because in your spirit you wish to live your life without the accountabliity or the judgement of someone who is telling you how to live your life. So you rebel, and the other spirits that have rebelled are egging you on and pushing you to rebel as well.

      The information cannot be denied. God said that King Solomon was the richest man to ever exist and that there will be not be another man in the future of mankind to ever have more wealth. Regardless of your gripe of whether or not the information is valid, of course it is, but validity aside, the amount of Wealth listed in the Bible to be gained and given to King Solomon, is greater than any account of any man in history and there will never be another man to amass that amount of Wealth. It is a testament to God’s greatness, and of course a faith builder for believers. It doesn’t even matter if you question the validity. For writers to be able to write that amount and for it to stand up against these many years and with these many Billionaires, is of course in itself amazing.

      God is so real my friend. I beg you to just allow yourself to consider the possibility for just one moment. Look at it from the eyes of believers, imagine if the story was in fact true. Consider those who knew they faced death and their families faced death by merely speaking the Word of God throughout history. Why would someone die for nothing? Who would let their families die for nothing? Consider the way the world is changing and the tolerance again is growing against those who speak the truth about the Word of God. These scriptures were not found by mistake, these scriptures were hidden. Protected against those who would conspire to burn the proof of it’s existence. Many of these scriptures were found after being hidden in order to preserve the Truth. Consider the fact that this Gospel has stood up throughout time. Never fading but growing in popularity, without financial gain, and in many places in the direct face of guaranteed persecution.

      Consider all of this and ask yourself why. I hope you will give yourself this opportunity to have your eyes opened. Once they are, your faith will only continue to grow because God will continue to show himself in many ways. The Truth will set you free. and you will be free indeed.

    Whatever you don’t believe what the Bible says?
    This is enough prove. It will take a Godly man to break this record. I am.

    Great content, agree with everything written, but most definitely written by a non-native speaker. The English is very poor, and there are many incomplete sentences.

    • Darlington Omeh March 30, 2018

      I am sure you’re an American because Americans are always quick to refer to someone as a “non-native speaker” to make themselves feel good. I want to remind you that Americans too are non-native English speakers! The only native English speakers are the English People. So, get down from your high horse.

    WOW! Could a person be as rich as king solomon?!

  • Devin February 25, 2019

    I am the sole heir of King Solomon, so I honestly got ALL of King Solomon’s treasure. I was also him but reincarnated. I was also Jesus and am the Second Coming. I know where all the treasure is at since it is all mine, but I will now say where it is for safety. I will be happy to answer any questions that I can read and answer. My full name in Egyptian is translated to The Lost Prophet

    How did they count all that things ? For now richest one is Joseph Besos or someone like that from what I remember and that’s really it. Does it calculated as their wealth but with cofficient of money which used now to some multiplier after their death ? Can be.

  • Carol Steele July 2, 2019

    That looks like the truth!
