Arguably the most famous (and infamous) bank robbers in history, there is no definitive tally of exactly how much Bonnie and Clyde  stole.

American outlaw, gang leader, bank and train robber  and the most famous member of the James-Younger Gang. Already a celebrity when he was alive, he became a legendary figure of the Wild West after his death.
