Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Forbes Lists

The self-proclaimed caliph of a largely-theoretical pan-Islamic state, al-Baghdadi weathered relentless airstrikes against ISIS and its many foreign recruits this year. In a remarkably short period of time, al-Baghdadi's ISIS fighters have seized significant portions of eastern Syria and western Iraq, commandeered the planet's attention with a series of barbaric beheadings and earned non-negligible amounts of cash, largely through black-market oil sales said to total $1 million a day. Despite few public appearances, he has held our attention--and that of the people at the very top of this list.
