>>One of the richest persons in the world EVER...<<
Not by a long shot!
Named as NBAs all time leading scorer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a retired professional basketball player with an estimated net worth of $20 million as of 2o12.
OK, he could have been one of the richest ever, had he saved a little...
and he could have made a ton of money on endorsements had he endeared himself to the fans who helped him make it possible.
My bad.
