12. Joseph Stalin

The official story is that Joseph Stalin had a few million to his name as a result of being, you know, the undisputed ruler of Russia. However, consider this: The modern ruler exerted complete and total control of his nation, a massive swath of land that, during his rule, accounted for around 9% of the world’s entire economic output. Adjusted for inflation, that would put Stalin’s net worth at somewhere around $7.5 trillion. Too bad he was also responsible for the deaths of millions of his own people (more than a few offed by his own hand).
