The king of Ghana gained wealth by taxing trade. Using the wealth gained from this taxation, Ghana quickly expanded into an empire. It conquered surrounding lands. The people living in the conquered lands were forced to give a tribute, or payment, to Ghana's king.

Was not a source of wealth for Ghana's rules?

Gold was not a source of wealth for Ghana's rulers; instead, it was the trade in salt that significantly contributed to their wealth. Salt was highly valued for preservation and nutrition, and the trans-Saharan trade routes facilitated its exchange for gold and other goods. Additionally, the rulers of Ghana gained wealth through taxation on trade and control of trade routes. This economic system ultimately established Ghana as a powerful empire in West Africa.
