Historical figure: wealth claims from this era are speculative, are often repeated in inflated modern equivalents, and cannot be verified — so no estimate is shown for this profile.

Background and career

Danieri Basammula-Ekkere Mwanga II Mukasa (3 June 1868 – 8 May 1903) was the Kabaka (King) of Buganda who ruled from 1884 to 1888 and again from 1889 to 1897. He is best known for his resistance to increasing British colonial influence and Christian missionary activities in Buganda Kingdom during the 19th century.

Known as Mwanga II, his reign was marked by political instabilities, internal conflicts, and tensions between traditional authorities and foreign religious and colonial forces. He is also associated with the persecution of Christian converts, some of whom later became known as the Martyrs of Uganda.

He was deposed in 1897 after being defeated by British forces and went into exile, where he died in 1903.
