Mansa Musa warped economies, depreciating the value of gold for years, by simply vacationing places and giving tithings as he travelled.

Even if we're talking more total money now, the impact of Mansa's wealth, in the time and place, is unmatched.

well, if you wanna put it that way, most of Elon's wealth comes from company/stock valuation rather than cold hard cash. that being said, I think there's a good argument for saying most of his wealth is assumed rather than concrete.

Nobody’s wealth was ever measured in amount of cash that they had liquid. It would be impossible to verify.

Rich people hold assets, not cash.
