Is fleeting power on Earth worth eons in Hell?

There seems to be those who are willing to spend a very long time in Hell- just to hold onto fleeting power on Earth.


Whether they believe in an afterlife, I'm not sure  but if they think they can assassinate their rivals without paying some kind of penalty  I believe they are very much mistaken!

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.  
Galatians 6:7
