The 15 Most Evil People In History Who Lived Rich

18. Bashar al-Assad

Bashar al-Assad is the President of Syria and has been since 2000. It is estimated that he is worth over $1.5 billion. This is a hefty sum for a man that rules over a country where the people make $2,000 per capita. The country has disintegrated into civil war and corruption with no end in sight. The reason Bashar has so much money is through some very creative accounting with Russia and Sweden.
