Trujillo's 30 years in power, to Dominicans known as the Trujillo Era (Spanish: ''La Era de Trujillo''), is considered one of the bloodiest ever in the Americas, as well as a time of a classic [[Cult of personality|personality cult]], when monuments to Trujillo were in abundance.

At the height of his power, Trujillo was one of the richest men in the world, reaching a net worth of $800 million. He was also a rapist, having hundreds of beautiful ''mulatto'' girls and various young virgins brought to him for a marathon romp, then sending them off with a few gifts (and sometimes a child). He was also very extravagant; he had thousands of suits, pairs of shoes which would be repeated by [[Imelda Marcos]], and ties, all made of fine, expensive material. He also liked to travel a lot, his favorite trip being to Paris. The nails that kept his mansion together were reportedly made of solid gold. | At the height of his power, Trujillo was one of the richest men in the world, reaching a net worth of $800 million.

One of his most infamous acts was his ordering of the brutal [[murder]] of the Mirabal Sisters, called ''Las Mariposas'' ("the butterflies"), three sisters who vehemently opposed his dictatorship. This was the last and biggest mistake he ever made. Once word of the murder reached outside his country's border, foreign approval/acceptance of his regime all but vanished. It was one of the last murders committed during his reign, as he was assassinated by CIA-backed plotters mere months later. | One of his most infamous acts was his ordering of the brutal [[murder]] of the Mirabal Sisters, called ''Las Mariposas'' ("the butterflies"), three sisters who vehemently opposed his dictatorship.
