3. Alexander the Great
Historians claim that the great king, Alexander the Great, once granted one of his kinsmen a lavish palace worth an estimated $650 million. Alexander the Great had a 30-year reign. Alexander the Great was so wealthy that he once gained over 1100 tons of gold and that wasn’t in a 30-year reign- that was from just one city!
Alexander once said: “My first wish is scatter the gold, silver, and gems from my treasure-house along the path to the tomb when you ship my coffin to the grave. My second wish is to tell people not to be like me in pursuing wealth. I spent my whole life pursuing wealth, but I was wasting my time most of the time. My third wish to let people understand that I came to this world in empty hands and I will leave this world also in empty hands.”
