9. Duane Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter)
Before he was a Bible worshiping bail bondsman, Duane Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter) was convicted of first degree murder after an altercation with a pimp/drug dealer that left him dead. While in prison Chapman tackled an inmate who was trying to escape, saving him from being shot. This event inspired him to change his ways and pursue a path of righteousness. After serving his time he became a bail bondsman and media personality, eventually amassing a net worth of over $6 million. His big break came after he caught Andrew Luster, who was on the run after being charged with 86 counts of sexual assault. This was the turning point in his career that spawned his own television series.
