If you want to know the richest people who made their money illegally simply look up Russian Mafia-Solntsevskaya, Izmailovskaya, Tambovskaya gangs and who their leaders are(all of them are worth in hundreds of million to several billion dollars). Try also Colombian Cartels- Norte del Valle Cartel, and several others(all of them are worth in hundreds of million to several billion dollars). Triads are also powerful and control much of Chinese market of fake goods-from drugs(medicines) to Gucci purses. Other than those crime groups most other are a lot poorer.

Because rich people lie about how much money they make to avoid paying taxes. There are probably a few people who are among the 100 richest, but are not on that list.
