Hello friends!
Here we go again with yet another of the wealthiest people of all time. His name is King Croesus and unfortunately we have no estimate of how much he owned in contemporary terms. Therefore, the Number 12 given here is only arbitrary - this does not mean that Croesus had less that Number 11 and more than Number 13. All we know is that he was very rich. Also, he is the oldest member of our selection of wealthy people here - he hails from the 6th century before Christ! You can learn more about him by reading this short information here.
Well, we might not have an exact figure regarding the riches of Croesus, but we have the words of J.A.S. Evans, who remarked that "By the fifth century at least Croesus had become a figure of myth, who stood outside the conventional restraints of chronology."
May you have a mythical day as well!
