Did people get rich off slaves?

Rich people owned slaves. But the question is "Did people get rich off slaves?" Can you think of any nation that has slavery that isn't poor? If owning slaves make a nation rich, then the slave owning nations of the world today should be the richest nations but instead they are the poorest. Answer "did some people get rich off slaves". Slavery came in many forms, and even today, there are still many forms of slavery (i.e., women sex slaves, children sex slaves, indentured slaves, etc.). If the question is asking if slave owners got rich off of African slaves", the answer is clearly a resounding yes. Slaveholders used the slaves to farm the land, cook, clean, etc.; such slaveholders sold the "fruit" of the land and received quite a bit of money for it. The slaves, by definition, did not get any of the money from their labor. The upkeep of the slaves was very minimal, particularly in comparison to the profit obtained from their labor. There were also a tremendous financial benefit from selling slaves. Then there were the actual slave traders - who found a great deal of profit in selling human beings. Some would say America is so great, i.e., rich because of profits received from and the hard-work of the African American slave (e.g., railroads, a thriving agricultural supplier, other areas of industry, etc.. The simple answer is yes.
