Dick Cheney

Risk 80

Politician

84 years oldAmerican0 picksBorn January 30, 1941

The man who arguably wielded more power than any VP in American history, Dick Cheney orchestrated post-9/11 foreign policy and the Iraq War while George W. Bush was still finding Iraq on a map. Having survived five heart attacks and received a heart transplant at 71, Cheney has been defying actuarial tables almost as aggressively as he defied congressional oversight. At 84, the former Defense Secretary and political puppet master proves that sheer force of will—or perhaps something darker—keeps some people ticking long past their expiration date.
