Ernst Stavro Blofeld prior to his messy divorce, hair loss and subsequent bitterness. Like Kurtz and Samson before him, Blofeld was once considered an up and coming executive until a woman brought his downfall.

The current mayor in Toronto, Canada, also unaffectionately known as "His Blondeness"?

Some nazi SS bigwigs supposedly had perfect lives. They were also Genocidaires.
