00:32Number 10 Virginia Hill

00:35Notorious mainly for being the girlfriend of Brooklyn's infamous mobster Bugsy Sigel,

00:40Hill was known by several nicknames including Queen of the Gangster Moles and Flamingo.

00:46Originally telling people she grew up in poverty,

00:49she claimed that she did not even own a pair of shoes until she was 17 years old.

00:54After moving to Chicago from Georgia, she initially worked as an accountant for Al Capone

01:00before later moving to Los Angeles where she met Sigel.

01:04After becoming both his lover and courier,

01:06Sigel met his end after being assassinated in her home in 1947.

01:12She was out of the house at the time of the hit,

01:15but has always denied ever knowing that he was in the crime business.

01:18She ended her days in suspicious circumstances, the victim of what some speculate to be an apparent

01:24hit after being found in a snowdrift, the victim of an apparent overdose of sleeping pills.

01:31Number 9 Ma Barker

01:33Remembered as one of the godmothers of crime, Ma Barker also known as Kate Barker

01:38and Arizona Donnie Barker was merciless.

01:41Head of the infamous Barker crime family, she married George Barker and the couple had four sons together.

01:48Highway robberies began as early as 1910 and many of these led to murders

01:53that led to one of her sons taking his own life to avoid capture.

01:57After the other sons ended up in jail, Ma went cold turkey from crime

02:01and later reunited with Fred Barker upon his release from jail in 1931.

02:06This led to an almost instantaneous crime spree that ended both her life and his

02:13when the FBI stormed her hideout in Lake Weir, Florida.

02:17She was named by J. Edgar Hoover as the most vicious, dangerous and resourceful criminal brain

02:22of the last decade.

02:23Number 8 Bonnie Parker

02:25Another one of the most infamous female gangsters,

02:28Bonnie Parker became one part of the famous duo Bonnie and Clyde.

02:32Both notorious bank robbers, she became public enemy number one between 1931 and 1934,

02:39practically becoming both an outlaw and celebrity at the same time.

02:43Born in Texas, she was a smart and outspoken member of the Rowena community she lived in

02:49and met Clyde in 1930 while still married.

02:53While the robberies and killings made the couple both famous,

02:56a photo shoot close to their Joplin, Missouri hideout became infamous as a part of their story.

03:02Parker died alongside Clyde when she was just 23 years old in 1934,

03:07during a shootout with police but she has been portrayed in a number of movies and TV series.

03:13Number 7 Stephanie St Clair

03:16Known as Madame St Clair in Harlem, St Clair was called Queenie in much of Manhattan

03:22and was a force to be reckoned with taking down corrupt cops and preventing mobsters from making money on

03:28her turf. Along with a number of enforcers that included Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson,

03:32she had alliances with a number of gangsters including Lucky Luciano.

03:37One of her most famous moments came when she sent a letter to the deathbed of a wounded Dutch Schultz

03:42gloating over his injuries. St Clair retired later in life and handed her empire over to Ellsworth,

03:48who later became known as the Harlem Godfather. She has been immortalized in the 1984 movie,

03:53The Cotton Club and was portrayed by Cicely Tyson in Hoodlum, a 1997 film.

04:00Number 6 Opal Long

04:02A famous member of John Dillinger's terror gang, she was presumed to have been born in Texas

04:08and went by the nickname Madame Trak thought to have been coined from her size.

04:13Often going by the name Bernice Clark, Long would clean the hideout and cook for the gang on a regular

04:18basis. After the arrest of Russell Clark, her husband, her life went downhill

04:23severely and she would end up not only begging the gang for money but also attacking police,

04:28a move that led to her arrest and imprisonment. She never told anyone about other members of the

04:34gang and was paroled in November 1934, spending the rest of her days in Chicago.

04:40Number 5

04:41Griselda Blanco

04:42Officially the first ever criminal to become a billionaire, Griselda Blanco went by a number of

04:48nicknames including La Madrina, The Black Widow and The Cocaine Godmother.

04:53One of the many feared drug lords of the Medellin Cartel, this queen of narco trafficking not only

04:58killed her first three husbands but also earned roughly 80 million dollars per month.

05:03Smuggling unbelievable amounts of cocaine from Colombia to the United States in the 1970s and 80s,

05:09she developed a way to move the drug using specially designed women's underwear.

05:14She is thought to have ordered the deaths of over 2,000 people including children and never actually

05:19carried out the hits herself. Thought to be akin to the legendary Pablo Escobar Blanco was shot dead

05:25outside a butcher shop aged 69 years old during a motorbike assassination in Medellin, Colombia.

05:32Number 4

05:33Sister Ping

05:34Thought to be responsible for trafficking over 3,000 illegal immigrants from China to the United

05:39States, Sister Ping was the leader of the feared Chinatown underground crime group of the 1980s and 1990s.

05:47Nicknamed the Snakehead, Cheng Chu Ping was her real name and she made a considerable amount of money

05:54literally charging $40,000 per person moved from country to country.

05:59Thousands died on the dangerous journey between Hong Kong, Guatemala and New York and the travel

06:04time sometimes took over 100 days. Ping died in prison aged 65 after being convicted of immigrant

06:10smuggling, money laundering and trafficking but never quite lost her fearsome business reputation.

06:16She was and still is described by immigrants as both good and honest, something the US immigration

06:22authorities would strongly disagree on.

06:25Number 3

06:26Maria Lichiardi

06:27Becoming head of the Lichiardi clan after the death of her husband, Maria Lichiardi became one of the

06:33founders of the strategic Secundigliano Alliance. One of the most powerful bosses of the Camorra in

06:39Naples, she went by several names including Little Girl, Princess and Godmother. Her choice of crime

06:45included cigarette smuggling, protection rackets and drugs while she also instigated the sex trade into

06:52the gang's profile. After a crime spee that lasted 8 years, she was arrested in 2001 after a shipment of

06:59heroin came into Naples too pure resulting in the deaths of many people. She was added to the list of

07:05the 30 most wanted Italians with investigators knowing very little about either her or the

07:10operation she was running. After her arrest a bitter turf war ensued with over 120 people killed in the

07:17gang wars that followed. After being imprisoned she became known as the Scarlet Pimpinelle of Italy and

07:23continued to run parts of the operation from her cell. She was released in 2009 but became a

07:29fugitive again in 2019 after being accused of running protection rackets and trying to flee to Spain.

07:36Number two, Pearl Elliott. One of the most notorious madams of the 20th century, Elliott owned a brothel

07:42in Kokomo, Indiana that also served as a hideout for gangs committing bank robberies. It did not take

07:49long for her to earn a place on the public enemies list, something that turned her police protection into

07:54quite the opposite, with a shoot to kill policy in effect. She had close ties to both John Dillinger

08:00and Harry Piepont, notorious gangsters in their own right, and was treasurer for Dillinger at one point.

08:06Despite running one of the biggest illegal operations in Indiana, she escaped punishment and died on

08:11August 10th 1935, likely from cancer.

08:15Number one, Sandra Aviela Beltran. One of the most powerful drug kings in Mexico,

08:21Sandra Aviela Beltran earned her nickname as Lorena del Pacifico, translated to the Queen of the Pacific

08:29by the media. The niece of a famous drug trafficker Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, known as the boss of

08:36bosses, she rose to power through intimate connections. Along the way she seduced many drug kingpins and upper

08:43echelon police officers becoming the powerful force in the cocaine world through a combination of

08:48ruthless business sense. She was finally caught in 2007 and arrested for drug trafficking, later being

08:55extradited to the United States. After being deported back to Mexico, she was sentenced to five years in

09:01prison before being released in 2015 and now lives in the city of Guadalajara. Thanks for watching this
