Founder of Mongol Empire
On JudgeMarket, Genghis Khan trades in the upper band of military conquerors, though the market never pushes him to consensus sainthood. The bid is underwritten by pure scale — the largest contiguous land empire in history, built in a single lifetime from tribal fragments — plus the Pax Mongolica's genuine contribution to Eurasian trade and cultural exchange. What aggressively caps the price is well-documented mass slaughter, city erasures, and demographic catastrophes in Central Asia and Persia that the market cannot ignore. Against Alexander the Great, Genghis prices higher on territorial magnitude but lower on cultural synthesis premium; Alexander gets the Hellenization multiple he lacks. Compared to Napoleon Bonaparte, Genghis is the higher-ceiling, higher-discount name — bigger empire, harsher methods. The market reads him as a contested high-multiple asset: reverence in Mongolia, condemnation elsewhere, with moderate volatility around historical reappraisals.
