With riches and power come benefits that far exceed financial gain: the right to always be free and live a life without repercussions for past actions. With world class lawyers at the helm, one can literally get away with murder.
Whether it’s celebrity status, shady behind the scenes deals, or simply good luck, these 10 millionaires have managed to escape justice for atrocities that — in most circumstances — are simply unforgivable. While some have suffered, living their lives in the shadow of their crime, others have manged to prosper in the wake of their offense. It’s a backwards world we live in where it’s one rule for the common man, and another for the wealthy.
10. Robert Blake
In May 2001, actor Robert Blake took his wife Bonnie Lee Bakely, out for an Italian dinner. Afterwards, while parked on the side of the street, Bonnie received a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Blake claimed that he re-entered the restaurant to collect a gun that he had left behind when the event occurred. In the coming years, two of his previous stuntmen alleged that Blake had tried to hire them to assassinate his wife. While there wasn’t enough evidence to convict, even his three children are convinced that he was involved and filed a civil lawsuit against him, which reduced his fortune by a whopping $30 million. Although he filed for bankruptcy in 2010, he currently has a net worth of approximately $1.1 million.
