If you may be leading to the conclusion that Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, you are completely wrong.
In the 13th century, a man that was addressed as Mansa Musa was (as a matter of fact) the richest man in the world. He was the mansa of the West African Islamic Mali Empire. Although his life was cut short, his net worth was quite eye-bulging ... he was worth $400 billion. Since he was a great follower of Muhammed's religion, Islam, he traveled all the way to Mecca to join the prayers around the Hajj, he was a Muslim enthusiast.
Most must be wondering exactly how Musa got his money. Well, he got it primarily from trading mostly salt and gold. This was mainly to his advantage since Mali was known for its high gold production, strange huh? Although he was known for his riches, his pilgrimage in Mecca was well-known to everyone.

Jack the Ripper was a well know killer in the 19th century, marking himself as: The Whitechapel Murderer or Leather Apron. Either way, Jack the Ripper remained hidden and the date of his identification is still not clear. Though, most have pointed fingers at the Polish hairdresser, Aaron Kosminski. Aaron was known for killing 5 prostitutes which frightened the citizens of Whitechapel, London. His identity bewildered law enforcements until they made a connection to the barber (as you may already know) Aaron Kosminski. Though he is NOT the confirmed killer, he remained a suspect for a very long time. But let me allow to give you a backstory on the infamous suspect: Aaron Kosminski.

Aaron Kosminksi emigrated from Poland to England in the 1800s. Once he was found to have relations to the Jack the Ripper murders, he was sent to a mental institution. The investigation was later advanced in 2014 when Russell Edwards made a claim that Kosminski's dna was tracked in one of the crime scenes, though that was later debunked as false.

Therefore, Jack the Ripper's real identity has not been discovered, but it is a fact that forensic scientists are still giving their shot at discovering who killed those 5 prostitutes in Whitechapel, London.
