As indicated by the Bible, King Solomon governed from 970 BC to 931 BC, and during this time he is said to have gotten 25 tons of gold for every one of the 39 years of his rule, which would be worth about billions (if not trillions) of dollars now. Alongside unthinkable wealth amassed from tax collection and exchange, the scriptural ruler's very own fortune have definitely outperformed $2 trillion in the present cash. Due to the large amount of wealth he controlled it is very difficult to put a value on his wealth, King Solomon according to the Bible is the richest man ever on earth.
