10. Al Capone – $1.3 billion
Al Capone gained fame during the era of prohibition in the U.S. as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. Capone is one of the most notorious gangsters in the history of the United States and he used violence in order to communicate his point to others. He was well liked up until he started killing people at will and that is when the public called for his apprehension.
Capone was imprisoned in May 1932 for tax evasion because that was the only thing the government could get to stick. He died from cardiac arrest in 1947, but in the prior year was said to have the mental capability of a twelve-year-old.
