These are the top 10 richest men of all time. These fortune are base on 2001’s US Dollars (some figures are approximate as they take into consideration inflation, GDP growth, currency exchange rates, and fluctuations in share prices).

1. John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) — $200 billion
2. Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) — $110 billion
3. Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) — $100 billion
4. John Jacob Astor (1763-1848) — $85 billion
5. William Gates III — $60 billion
6. Lawrence J. Ellison — $55 billion
7. King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz Alsaud — $30 billion
8. Warren Buffett – $28 billion
9. Paul Allen — $25 billion
10. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan — $ 23 billion

$200 billion, now that’s a lot of smackers. I thought Andrew Carnegie was the richest men in the world, boy was I wrong. It’s only time before a women will make this exclusive list of richest.
