Dictatorship is difficult, especially in today’s age. One person has so many responsibilities such as controlling the entire nation, oppressing people, telling various lies to the media and curbing their freedom.
However, we all know that behind every successful man, there is a woman. And that holds true for dictators as well. In today’s world, the dictators get the entire attention of the media, while we know very little about their wives. Hence, in this article, we shall take a closer look at the lives of the wives of the greatest dictators.
1. Ri Sol Ju (Wife of Kim Jong Un)
We only came to know about Ri Sol Ju a few years back. We still have very little information about her, except for the fact her age is around 30, and she comes from a reputed North-Korean family.
Well, there are certain rumours that there was a homemade p0rn video of her a long time ago. However, anyone who made those rumours were executed.I hope you didn’t expect anything more from a country which has closed Internet.

A former model, Ana met the Angolan President while she was working as a flight attendant. She is now member of the International Steering Committee.The two make a cute couple, and their fashion sense suggest that they live in New York rather than Angola.
She did hit the headlines once when she stated that her child will be studying inPortuguese school in Luanda, rather than local schools due to their bad environment, something which her husband, being a president, should have rectified a long time ago.
