When considering the wealthiest people in history, Elon Musk, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Louis Vuitton owner Arnold Bernault, and India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, are often mentioned. But history also reveals people whose wealth significantly exceeds that of the people listed, one of them being the Chinese Empress Wu.

According to historical narratives, Empress Wu was the richest woman alive during her time, and some historians even claim she was the richest woman in history. She surpassed the combined net worth of Musk, Mukesh Ambani, Jeff Bezos, Adani, and others with an estimated net worth of USD 16 trillion.

Empress Wu, who is from the Tang dynasty, is wealthier than Elon Musk (net worth roughly USD 229 billion), Jeff Bezos (net value USD 174 billion), and Mukesh Ambani (net worth around USD 106.2 billion).

Empress Wu is portrayed by historians as a cunning ruler who used a variety of tactics to stay onto power; some accounts even indicate that she went so far as to kill her own children in order to keep her position. During the course of her nearly 15-year rule, the Chinese empire expanded into Central Asia. The China Project has established that the Chinese economy flourished under her leadership, with notable expansion in the tea and silk trade.

Numerous motion pictures and television programs have captured the lavish and magnificent way of life of Empress Wu. One such program is the television series “Empress of China,” which starred Fan Bingbing.
