Probably USD 400bn according to usatoday.com
The richest person ever is thought to have been an emperor with an accumulation of wealth often described as "unimaginable" or "incalculable." The title goes to 14th-century African emperor Mansa Musa, and his wealth has been estimated to be the modern day equivalent of $400 billion.
