Worth: $5.9 billion

The Connection: Prime Minister, Italy (2008-2011)

This past February, the media and banking maven had corruption charges thrown out of Italian court thanks to a statute of limitations, but he still faces separate charges for sex with a minor and tax fraud. He denies all allegations. He started his career as a cruise ship crooner.

09. Sebastian Pinera

(http://800018.xyz/files/funzug/imgs/celebrities/riches_politicians_world_09.jpg)

Worth: $2.4 billion

The Connection: President of Chile (2010-present); Senator (1990-1998)

After he was elected president in 2010, Pinera kept his campaign promise to sell his holdings, a popular move. He unloaded his 26% stake in Chilean airline LAN for $1.5 billion, sold the TV channel Chilevision to Time Warner for a reported $150 million, and sold his share of popular soccer team Blanco & Negro. But last year after student protests, worker strikes, and raging wildfires in Torres del Paine National Forest, Pinera's approval ratings dropped to a reported 23%, the lowest of any Chilean president since Pinochet.
