Nero
Nero has clearly done some corrupt things during his rule which included killing his mother. Nero was born into power and money with the political status of his mother and power of his father. He clearly was surrounded by money and power since his birth. He never was really exposed to anything else so the power clearly just amplified his behaviors. I believe that the power given to Nero allowed him to carry out his corrupt actions in such extreme ways as killing his mother, wives, and many others out of anger and greed. The power clearly corrupted his already evil brain. Although there was no instance in which he was never surrounded by power so we cannot see whether he was just purely changed by the wealth and power or if he could have lived a normal and not so bloody life. Although I do strongly believe that he had to have be evil before because power cannot corrupt a person to do such extreme things.
