8. Caused Inflation in Cario

Weve established already that Musa was an incredibly wealthy man the wealthiest ever. Not only was he wealthy, but he was also very generous with his wealth and would often give away large sums. Part of the reason that he took such a large caravan on the Hajj was so that he could carry vast amounts of gold with him.

On his way to Mecca, Musa gave away vast amounts of gold to the people of Cairo as he passed through. The people receiving the gold would usually have become quite wealthy, except he gave so much away that it caused incredible inflation. As a result, the gold he did give away was not worth as much as it would have been otherwise.
