What's the smallest amount of power you've seen go to someone's head?

Guy became moderator on a Gmod server.

He came to a server I was an admin at, and in a relative short time he became a moderator since he had experience and another moderator vouched for him. Power got to his head completely within a week or so. He would abuse his powers by banning people with more harsh punishments then what we had set up on our basic rules. Usually permanently. He would bully people that would be on our server daily, rubbing it into their faces that he became mod before everyone else that had been there longer. He also went mad when a girl he liked on the server started dating one of the other mods. He banned him over and over again for no reason what so ever, would yell at him in game, would slay him and just reveal his role (server was playing the game mode "TTT") . As time went on he bought the server owner out since server owner was going to university, and then alot of shady shit happened. Donations that was supposed to be paying the server suddenly vanished. He got more of his shitty friends on the server and instantly promoted them to admins withouth consulting me at all (I was head admin at the time, and all my thoughts around the situation was ignored by him) and all of a sudden demoted me. I shortly left the server in anger. 3 weeks later the server was shut down because of donations being spent on CS:GO skins by server admin and his Douche McCrew. He attempted to start another server, but it was shut down after 1 month because he didnt pay the server bills.
