Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow
Gurbanguly BerdimuhamedowFollowing a predecessor like Niyazov is not a simple task, but his successor, Berdimuhamedow, a former dentist, was just as stylish. (Now the fear of the dentist suddenly makes more sense, doesn't it?) Having become the sole ruler of his country, he cleverly combined boosting the economy and his favorite hobby: riding. By hosting beauty pageants for the country's pricey Akhal-Teke breed, Gurby lives out his wild side as he dresses up for the occasion: a noble royal blue coat with gold stitchings and, look, he even inherited Niyazov's fav fur hat! He gets 7 out of 10 scepters. [Photos via]
