The Mughals owned like 30% of the world production in 1700
Romans had something in the region of 30% roughly at their height

America had a larger economy than the world combined during WW1 and slightly after WW2

Their pillaging through the New World during the early days of the empire yielded immense wealth in the form of Gold and Silver, especially Silver. The Spanish even discovered an entire mountain made of silver, the Potosi mountain, which increased the entire world's silver supply by more than 1/3'rd.

Of course this quick discovery of insane wealth led Spain to suffer from runaway inflation that ended up breaking the Empire's finances just a few decades later.

Rome had closer to 50, while Han China was similar in population, it's GDP/capita was estimated to be lower due to lower caloric intake and less proliferation of iron farming tools among the peasantry.

Mughals were neck and neck with Qing, with Mughals having the edge from 1650 to 1700 while the Qing dealt with Ming remnants, and Qing having a larger economy from 1700 onward.
