yes.. Lemongrab, Caligula, Joffery, many Roman Emperors (especially ones found in media like Gladiator) and the Mad King from GoT are good examples.

chaotic evil can enslave, conquer and tyrannize - the difference is they are completely unpredictable and thus they are far more dangerous.. you can predict what a Lawful Evil ruler will do, you can reason with them and ensure a semi-decent existence providing you do as they say.. a Lawful Evil ruler wants you to obey and as long as you obey you should be alright (in theory)

in contrast a chaotic evil tyrant wants you to suffer horribly and sees themselves as free to do whatever they want while enslaving everyone else.. chaotic evil values personal freedom, it doesn't care about the freedom of others.. many slave owners were chaotic evil as well when they randomly beat and mudered slaves (which a Lawful would be reluctant to do, slaves are money and resources after all..) - which is also why chaotic evil is also, ultimately, very self-destructive.

chaotic evil tyrants tend to last shorter lengths of time than lawful as they either get killed off or are otherwise usurped but they are usually the most hated and feared of all tyrants.

"the King can do as he wants!" - Joffery (which sums up a chaotic evil tyrant's world-view nicely)
