Donald Trump and running mate Mike Pence sat down for a joint interview on 60 Minutes over the weekend. Many couldn’t help but notice the fancy golden chairs in Trump’s ornately decorated penthouse in Trump Tower.

The real estate mogul would presumably describe them as “classy.” And many of the world’s most brutal authoritarian rulers would agree. Here are 10 tyrants that have (or had) gold chairs even fancier and more classy than Trump’s.
1. Vladimir Putin (Russia)
2. Recep Erdoğan (Turkey)
3. Saddam Hussein (Iraq)
4-5. Bashar al-Assad (Syria) and Hosni Mubarak (Egypt)
6. Nursultan Nazarbayev (Kazakhstan)
7. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow (Turkmenistan)
8. Omar al-Bashir (Sudan)
9. Shah of Iran
10. Jean-Bédel Bokassa (Central African Republic)
Damn, that’s classy.
