8 Of The Richest Dictators In History

1. Muammar Gaddafi
2. Bashar al-Assad
3. Hosni Mubarak
4. Ali Abdullah Saleh
5. Zine al Abidine Ben Ali
6. Robert Mugabe
7. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo
8. Ali Bongo Ondimba

What if there were no checks and balances or a system that ensures public funds land where they should? What if you were given unlimited political authority with no elected bodies to report to?

The Bottom Line

Most of these dictators had a share in every pie, spent a lot of time covering up money trails and amassed fortunes for their family members. Others brokered deals that would prevent them from ever being prosecuted. Some of these rulers quietly handed the reins to self-appointed successors or guerrilla fighters. The net worth of some of these dictators would easily put royalty to shame.
