GWOP REPORT: 20 Richest People of All Time
Who were the wealthiest people EVER?
A list of the twenty richest, based on scholarly estimates and adjusted for inflation, includes entrepreneurs, warriors, and robber barons.
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Carlos Slim are the only living men who made the list — and that’s only counting their net worth at bubble peaks in 1999 and 2007.
You’ll notice much of the list come from England and America.
