Ever since you had communities, you have had wealthy people who stand out above all others. At first prosperity was measured mostly in land and the amount of livestock you had.
But then as society developed, precious metals such as gold and silver became the popular way to gauge how wealthy a person really was.
Then with the widespread use of coins beginning in the 5th Century BC, business and trade really took off. Therefore, immense wealth could be both acquired and determined by how much money you possessed.
History is therefore full of interesting and ambitious people who have accumulated great fortunes in their own lifetime.

Technically, Crassus died when Rome was still barely clinging on to the Republic label, not quite there and a massive civil war yet to 'enjoy' in order to make it an Empire. Crassus' death made a ton of Romans happy. Not only was he rich, he collected favors as a hobby and pretty much anyone of value owed him for some past boon he had magnanimously granted them.

Mansa Musa's stories about his wealth is real. When he make a pilgrimage to Mecca, he brought along gold carried by a convoy of camels, which is so long that it's said, it takes one full day for an entire convoy to pass. During his journey, he visited numerous cities, buying supplies and donating his gold to the poor (Islam values charity, especially when you make a pilgrimage to it's holy city, you REALLY want to make as much good deeds as possible). What he didn't know that, once he reached Mecca, the gold circulation on the place he visited has become so saturated that it crashed the gold market price. When he's back from Mecca, he realized what he has done and simply buying back all the gold he has circulated in order to stabilize the market. That's how rich he is, he single-handedly destabilizes a gold market of an entire nation (or possibly entire Africa) by having way too much gold, then simply buy back all gold in circulation to stabilize the market back. No one has ever repeated what he did, even today

0:47 On the note of Crassus. His wealth is largely exaggerated. By the end of the first triumvirate, both Caesar and Pompey eclipsed Crassus in wealth and power. Caesar thanks to his conquests in Gaul was becoming very wealthy. This was one of the reasons why Crassus was so motivated to go out and try to fight against the Parthians. He felt himself becoming subordinate to what should have been his equals. Augustus himself was wealthier than all of them. He had Egypt made his own personal province. Egypt during the classical age was extremely wealthy. Augustus poured money into it to help rebuild neglected infrastructure and to improve administration so that it became a major cash cow for him and his dynasty. The Caesars, or the Julio-Claudians were one of the richest families to have ever existed by this fact alone.

7:20 it's worth to mention, how he got into idea of setting up a ,,Rockefeller Foundation" - one day in XIXth Century he sent his representatives to Northeastern Austria-Hungary, in today's Southeastern Poland, to meet Ignacy Łukasiewicz - the first man that had ever started an oil industry, found first usage of oil, and - what was most important for Rockefeller - found a way to extract petroleum. When those representatives came to him, offering as much money as he wants for selling them a receipt, Ignacy gave a full lecture, how to do it. Representatives wrote it down and asked for price. In response Ignacy Łukasiewicz said, that if this Rockefeller was really such a nice man, then tell him to use this money in positive way - support local communities, help poor, and etc. That's how Rockefeller Foundation was founded. To be honest this Polish oil baron had less better end. He was also using his huge fortune to fund local communities, schools, and etc., but his oil empire had collapsed some time after his death. Then his wife, that got used to lavish lifestyle in which she was living, couldn't handle nor the business, or huge money she inherited, not so long time after various people started to demand money that ,,her husband was owning them" and died in poverty.

Could be Inca emperors, sican kings or mochica aristocracy. The most important incan temple (the Coricancha) had the walls covered with gold, a garden of gold and silver statues of life-size animals and plants, and even a solid gold statue of the Inca Huayna Cápac (of a child size). And the Sipán Lord, an old member of the mochica aristocracy, had literally an entire suit made of gold.
