abstract
  • Meyer Lansky (July 4, 1902 – January 15, 1983) known as the "Mob's Accountant," was an American organized crime figure who, along with his associate Lucky Luciano, was instrumental in the development of the "National Crime Syndicate" in the United States. For nearly a half century, Meyer Lansky was one of the most powerful and richest people in the United States, and he was also one of the most powerful and richest people in the World. In 1946, Meyer Lansky had a massive and staggering net worth of $600 Million (which is equivalent to $19 Billion as of 2017). At the height of his power, Meyer Lansky was considered by the FBI to have just as much power and resources as the President of the United States of America. Lansky developed a gambling empire which stretched from Saratoga, New York to Miami to Council Bluffs and Las Vegas; it is also said that he oversaw gambling concessions in Cuba. Although a member of the Jewish Mafia, Lansky undoubtedly had strong influence with the Italian Mafia and played a large role in the consolidation of the criminal underworld (although the full extent of this role has been the subject of some debate).
