The 15 Most Evil People In History Who Lived Rich

12. Mobutu Sese Seko

Mobutu Sese Seko came to power in Congo through a coup of the democratically elected government. He killed anyone he thought might be a threat to his rule and tortured those who had been loyal to the previous government. He siphoned money away from the country and increased the country’s debts while his own wealth increased. His own wealth grew $5 billion, which was comparable to the country’s debt at the time.
