Was Mansa Musa really the richest person in history and not e.g. Augustus who literally owned Egypt, or Genghis Khan? Considering if you look up Mansa Musa's net worth on google (probably not accurate I know) it will say he had 400 billion dollars while Augustus had 4.6 trillion (also from google).
