they called you big jizzer which i quite [Music] i liked you big jizzer from now on anyway today we're looking at the 10 most powerful gangsters ever i can maybe get it morrison might be on there maybe they were the ultimate villains they lived life king-size and ruled kingdoms with iron-fisted methods they made more money than is imaginable and spent about making its luxuries and glittering film is that bro i don't know but that meme is the greatest thing ever everyone from judges policemen to senators and presidents were in their pockets they knew that real power lay with them and we're not afraid to use epic video unlocking stuff in this video we've listed 10 of the most powerful gangsters of all time here we go i wonder if we've heard of how many we've heard of number 10 frank lucas i've heard it was capitalized off the heroin trade in the 1960s and 1970s by using an east asian connection during the vietnam war cutting off the italian mafia who controlled the trade in this harlem at the time lucas originally from north carolina employed members of his family to take over the heroin trade in new york and new jersey lucas would claim to have sold one million dollars worth of heroin a day in his prisons also known as the black widow or the cocaine queen of miami was a drug lord for the colombian mcdonald's i i watched narcos the the uh series and she was mentioned in this but the queen of miami or the queen of cocaine or something i don't know can't they'll just be like she controls the powerful that doesn't do drugs you're not really gangster if you're nice well how do you know it could be a nice gangster yeah what what what defines a gangster i feel like the way people respect you as a gangster is that kind of fear that you hold over them if you're nice they're not going to fear you you can have a nice side there's a difference between making 80 million dollars a month during the 1970s and 80s reports claimed that at her peak riselle de blanco had more than half a billion dollars after serving 10 years number eight anthony salerno italian mobster fat tony salerno made his millions running the numbers racket in east harlem after most other italian mobsters left the area as it became more black and latino in the 1960s making tens of millions of dollars as the front man for the genovese crime family salerno was named the america's in 1988 salerno was convicted of racketeering charges and was sentenced to 70 years in prison oh number seven carlos later later was once i think i think he gets he's been public but i think the last guy's got to get put down a couple places like he got he got caught he's in jail a lot of them get caught and they escape gangster who's like who's that who's the el chapo you can't hold him down i think they have something he's gotta be number two number one while in prison later met boston-born drug trafficker george young who helped him import and distribute cocaine from his native colombia into the united states accumulating 2.7 billion dollars he made later so rich that he owned his own island in the bahamas and offered to pay off colombia's debt would it eventually and sentenced to life in prison which was reduced after he agreed to testify against former panamanian president manuel noriega in 1999. he's six mayor lansky you can't be on there lansky was a jewish immigrant from poland who would make a fortune of gambling both legal and illegal lansky would join notorious gangsters charles lucky luciano and ben bugsy siegel to run a gang that would be known as murder inc lansky would later turn to fights you don't want to be you don't want to be on wrong side of murder inc las vegas and cuba before the cuban revolution in 1982 forbes would name him as one of the 400 richest people in america lansky would be indicted for tax evasion and fled to israel he would later return to the u.s to face charges and was acquitted in 1974. lansky would die a free man in miami at age 83. i'm hearing the word miami a lot like i've heard miami in every single one so far i think they quite like the cocaine in miami that's the place where they get it all for a night because it's close to like the only bad things happen in miami that's why i'm here right joseph kennedy joseph kennedy is the patriarch of one of america's most powerful and prestigious families one of his sons became president another district attorney and a presidential candidate and another a senator speak kennedy was one of the richest men in america but as the saying goes behind every great fortune there is a great crime kennedy was already in the liquor business before prohibition but according to several books and gangsters became a bootlegger with ties to the new york and chicago underworlds after liquor was made illegal after prohibition ended kennedy made a fortune off selling legitimate liquor as well as through hollywood and the stock market kennedy was named one of the 20 richest people in america in 1954 by fortune magazine and howard net worth of more than three hundred million dollars which would be back today it has been reported that kennedy contacted mobster frank costello who was known to brag that he was a bootlegger with kennedy to use another mobster chicago's sam giancana to help his son john get elected through his ties to chicago and the years i rate that you know number four got his son as a [ __ ] family you know was the head of the mexican juarez cartel he was known as lord of the skies due to his private fleet of planes including 22 private 727 jet airliners which were used to import cocaine from colombia to mexico [Applause] fuentes had an estimated net value of 25 billion dollars almost twice as much as facebook founder mark zuckerberg and the dea called him the most powerful drug trafficker of his era he would die while undergoing plastic surgery to alter his appearance in 1997. imagine being that much of a bad man and dying to plastic surgery i reckon he was doing it to try and avoid capture though i don't think he was doing it to like uh trying to he didn't like his nose or like he didn't like his ears or something i think he i think he was trying to like make himself look like not like him so he could get away el chapo chapo is one of mexico's most powerful drug lords he is the head of the sinaloa cartel which smuggles in billions of dollars from colombia through mexico and into the united states guzman became rich enough to make forbes list of 1 000 wealthiest people in the world as well as their top 60 most powerful people in the world with a net worth of over five billion dollars guzman was jailed in 1993 but escaped from prison in 2001 and is currently number one on the fbi's most wanted list they go am i going for his capture perhaps the most powerful gangster of all time and also one of the richest numbers during prohibition wait till you hear number one my friend i'm gonna i can i think i judges and even the mayor of chicago unfortunately he could not bribe the irs who convicted him of tax evasion in 1932 and sentenced him to 11 years in prison number one there he is escobar is perhaps the most powerful drug lord of the modern era he ran the medellin cartel which imported billions of dollars of cocaine into the united states pablo's money brought him great power as he was able to bribe officials or have them killed if they wouldn't take his bribes forbes magazine named escobar the seventh richest man in the world with a net worth of 25 billion dollars surely that doesn't look like that shouldn't count you know what do you mean you shouldn't be put on forbes yeah you should if everyone knows how you're making your money in yeah he's pretty he's still got the p he's like he's he like it might be they are the controversial way of making it but he's made the pizza he was killed by colombian forces with u.s assistance after he escaped from a colombian prison that concludes our video of the 10 most powerful gangsters of all time i was watching videos of the day about how the albanians essentially control all of the uk coke supply they just took over the game which i thought was quite interesting so who who ran the game before that i should know this actually it was said in the video it said in the video i don't know there was there was someone else that was like running it and then the albanians just came in and just shook the game up so shout out to one of those tv shows like one of the tv shows that's about that is always like they're fighting the albanians you don't want to fight albanian i think that's i think that's a bad idea well thanks for watching boys we'll see you next time [Music] guys
