African Heritage Month Fact
The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is the richest person in the world. But who was the richest person of all time? Mansa Musa! In the 14th century, he was the emperor of the Mali Empire in West Africa. Mali had a lot of gold and because he was the ruler, Mansa Musa owned it all. He was richer than anyone can describe.
