Abdullah Ocalan, a prominent figure in Turkey, is estimated to have a net worth ranging from $100,000 to $1 million by the year 2024. Despite his somewhat modest financial standing, Ocalan holds significant influence as a world leader. He has been actively involved in political and social movements, particularly advocating for the rights of the Kurdish people. Ocalan's ideologies and leadership have sparked both support and controversy throughout his career, making him a key figure in Turkey's political landscape.
Leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a militant group that has fought for political rights for Jurds in the Turkish state. He became a major political figure even while imprisoned.
Involving himself in politics since his college days at Ankara University, he set up the PKK with fellow students to try carve out an independent Kurdish state within Turkey.
He was captured in 1999 and narrowly escaped execution, confined instead to an island prison; and later on he changed his statement from urging war to calling for peace.
Born with a humble background, he was the son of a poor peasant family in the south-eastern village of Omerli.
In 2013 he and the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan began tentative talks about resolving their decades-longs and bloody dispute.
