The 10 richest men of all time

Augustus Caesar (63 BC-14 AD, Roman emperor) $4.6tn (£3.5tn)
Zhao Xu (1048-1085, emperor Shenzong of Song in China) wealth incalculable
Akbar I (1542-1605, emperor of India's Mughal dynasty) wealth incalculable
Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919, Scottish-American industrialist) $372bn
John D Rockefeller (1839-1937) American business magnate) $341bn

The king reportedly left Mali with a caravan of 60,000 men.
He took his entire royal court and officials, soldiers, griots (entertainers), merchants, camel drivers and 12,000 slaves, as well as a long train of goats and sheep for food.
It was a city moving through the desert.
A city whose inhabitants, all the way down to the slaves, were clad in gold brocade and finest Persian silk. A hundred camels were in tow, each camel carrying hundreds of pounds of pure gold.

This is why I am an eternal skeptic.

This list seems kind of inaccurate especially for the top 10. Also where is the female and nonbinary list? Very exclusive.
I dont know how the rothschilds have their money divided up as a family but im sure you could pop at least one of them in there. Not to mention the Royal British family. I would think the English kings would be in charge of their ridiculous amount of wealth when they are on the throne(not the toilet). I'm not too sure who came up with the value estimates either and how they adjusted the values to be comparable.
Da Pope?
I dunno, it just doesnt look like an accurate list just by looking at it. More of something just to distract you.
