At a time when Rasullullah SAW speeches encouraging Muslims to infaq in the way of Allah, Abdurrahman bin Auf who
contributed half of his property worth 2000 dinars, or about US$ 2.8 billion value for money at this time
(the time he was not rich and the new property, or Rp. 5.6 billion). Top Sadaqah is he specifically prayed by the Prophet Muhammad which reads “May Allah bestow his blessing to you, to treasure what you gave. May God bless and also property that you leave for your family. “
Abdurrahman bin Auf have donated all the goods brought by the caravan trade to the inhabitants of Medina when the caravan was carrying merchandise which is carried by
700 camels
which filled the streets of Madinah. It also noted Abdurrahman bin Auf had been donated by surreptitiously or openly, among others,
40.000 Dinars (approximately US$ 1.4 billion of money now), 40,000 Dinar (now worth + / – Rp 56 billion money now), 200 uqiyah gold, 500 horses, and 1,500 camels!
He also sympathize Badar war veterans who are still alive at that time with compensation amounting to
400 dinars / person (approximately US$ 560 million) for veterans
whose number is not less than 100 people.
With so many infaq in the way of Allah, when he died at the age of 72 years still left the property very much that is composed of 1000 camels, 100 horses, goats and 3.000 respectively wife inherit 80 000 dinars. Yet the legacy of these wives each only ¼ of 1 / 8 (wife gets the 1 / 8 because there are children, then 1 / 8 is divided by 4 because there are four wives). This means that the wealth left by Abdur-Rahman bin Auf that time amounted to 2,560,000 dinars, or Rp 3584 trillion rupiah exchange rate as of this writing. Read more:

The sahabi Abdurrahman bin Auf
was famously wealthy and also spent famously. I don't know if the conversions are accurate, but 700 camels is no joke even today. I can't even imagine the value back then.
