By 1927, Al Capone had built a massive illegitimate corporate entity worth an estimated one hundred million dollars. In modern currency, this equates to roughly one point eight billion dollars. This staggering wealth was amassed during the Prohibition era while Capone was still in his mid-to-late twenties, cementing his status as a dominant figure in organized crime history.
While Al Capone is the ultimate symbol of the gangster era, he actually only ran the show in Chicago for about six years. Despite this relatively short window of time, he successfully built a brand and a criminal empire that has lasted for a century. His influence during the 1920s continues to tower over American history like a shadow.
The fall of Al Capone is a sharp contrast to his rise as an untouchable titan. He ended his life as a powerless recluse after suffering from a disease he refused to treat. This condition eventually left him with the mental capacity of a twelve-year-old child, marking a dark and human conclusion to the story of Chicago's most famous crime czar.
