Top 10 Biggest Gangsters and Mobsters of All Time
The Top Ten
Alphonse Gabriel Capone, sometimes known by the nickname "Scarface", was an American gangster and businessman who attained notoriety during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit. This guy was literary the mayor of Chicago because he had complete control over a majority of the cops, the mayor, and scared/ massacred all of the other gangsters. He was so good at getting away with things he got caught for tax evasion not the dozens of murders he committed. He was the person who inspired Scarface. But still the truth is he was just a sick human being.
This dude is the definition of a Gangster. He is the ancestor of all gangsters, master of all wannabes, the perfection of style, and the most feared man to America during his unstoppable reign. Even now over 60-70 years past his reign he still has his own wannabe gangs saying they are part of HIS mafia. He is the soul of all gangsters in the movies people make and even MOVIE characters aren't as good and they're made up! The King 👑
This guy sure has had a lot of influence on people, especially music and movies. Megadeth's song Public Enemy number 1 is based solely on Al Copone. He was one bad guy, that's for sure.
"Scareface" has no peer in Gangsterisum. With apologies to all the others mentioned, HE is the standard by which all related Movies, Themes and "Thugs" aspire to be. His Legendary status gets a 'tweek' in terms of enhancement thanks to The Emmy Award Winning HBO Series, "BOARDWALK EMPIRE. " We are treated to "THE BIG-DOG" of The Gangsters' evolution as a "young pup" in crime... THE STUFF OF LEGENDS!
I can not put in words how bigger Luciano was compared to Capone. He did much more to shape the Mafia than Capone did. Capone was most famous for the St. Valentines Day Massacre, in which he got the wrong guy and which ultimately forced the Feds to go after him sending him to jail. Also Morello should be in this, either 2 or 3.
He was the Boss of all Bosses and had what you call a Team (Gangsters) and everyone played their part flawlessly.
Boss of all Bosses and formed the Commission. One does forget he was even the Boss of Al Capone.
He is like one million times richer and more tougher than 50 cent
The power and influence this man had was incredible. When he was boss nobody got away with anything. He took control of a small crime family and turned it into the biggest, richest and most powerful Mafia family in the US.

This guy ran Boston's criminal underworld for years, and wasn't caught until he was 83. He even struck a deal with the FBI to ignore his crimes in exchange for information on the Italian Mob. He had everyone- the mobs, the FBI- under his thumb for years. Truly an icon of Irish mobs.
