Detailed explanation-1: -Mansa Musa (Musa I of Mali) was the ruler of the kingdom of Mali from 1312 C.E. to 1337 C.E. During his reign, Mali was one of the richest kingdoms of Africa, and Mansa Musa was among the richest individuals in the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -He was known for his great wealth and generosity. Mansa Musa was a devout follower of Islam. During his pilgrimage to Mecca (known by Muslims as hajji), he traveled with a great entourage and lavished so much gold in the markets of Cairo that it depressed the price for over a decade beyond his visit.
