If you take inflation into account, then John D. Rockefeller would have been the richest that ever lived, with a fortune that would have been the equivalent of $200 billion in today's dollars.

Probably Robert Pershing Wadlow, who is on record as being 8'11" tall. Usually, your reach is about half the size of your body (a bit less), but Robert's arm span was 9 feet. He could probably reach about 4 feet. That's a long reach!
He probably didn't have much money, though, since he died when he was just 22 years old, and wasn't born to a wealthy family.
