Imagine becoming so wealthy...that simply passing through a country...
could crash its entire economy.
Not by invading.
Not by stealing.
Not by starting a war.
But by giving away...
too much gold.
In the year 1324...
one man traveled across Africa with a caravan so enormous...
that eyewitnesses struggled to believe it.
Tens of thousands of people.
Hundreds of camels.
Each carrying mountains of gold.
His name was Mansa Musa, the emperor of Mali...and history's richest person.
His pilgrimage to Mecca became legendary.
But along the way...he accidentally unleashed one of history's greatest economic disasters.
This is the unbelievable story...of how generosity became a financial catastrophe.
