ISIS Is The Richest Terrorist Group In The World, Holds Guinness Record

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, more commonly known as ISIS, was at one point the richest and most well-funded terrorism and insurgency group on the planet, even holding a Guinness World Record due to its massive net worth.

ISIS was first dubbed by Forbes as the wealthiest terrorist organization in the world in 2014, surpassing other groups such as Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabab and the Taliban. It was said to have an annual turnover of about $2 billion, according to the outlet’s 2014 estimates.
