and Dangote?

An African should arguably top the list. A 14th Century Malian King by the name Mansa Musa. Google him up and be awed.

The likes of the Roman General Licinius Crassus (probably the second greediest man in history, after our very own Bola Tinubu ) should also be in the top 5. Bill Gates is about 10th or even lower in the definitive list I read some time ago.
