Living the High Life: Al Capone’s Fla. Hideaway has Just Been put on the Market for $10M

Living the High Life: Al Capones Fla. Hideaway has Just Been put on the Market for $10MHe had his own private army. He was directly responsible for the deaths of dozens of innocent (and not-so-innocent) Americans. His violent reign of power eventually lead to the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He owned Chicago. He lived like a king.

And then Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion.

Seriously, one of the most powerful criminals in U.S. history was put behind bars for not paying his taxes [hey, whatever sticks], which, in turn, lead to the corrosion and breakup of his criminal empire.

But while it lasted, Capone’s crime network paid off in spades and its chief architect lived the life of a European aristocrat.

Take, for example, his luxurious Miami hideaway (where he plotted the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre), which was recently put on the market for a cool $10 million.

What makes the mansion so expensive? Well, first of all, it’s massive.

“Two Versace South Beach villas could fit on this property,” said broker Jorge Alonso of Elliman Florida, according to the New York Daily News. “You step up to this huge pool. It’s so glamorous.”

However, the mansion’s price also has a lot to do with the fact that its current owner had it restored it to its original “gangster glamor,” CBS Miami reports.

Included in the mob boss’ mansion are:

  • Seven bedrooms
  • Seven bathrooms
  • 100-yard (“football-field-sized”) waterfront access on Biscayne Bay
  • Verandas
  • Recreation room
  • Private dock
  • Black-and-gold Art Deco powder room that looks the same as when Al Capone used it

“Alonso said that the house is already attracting would-be buyers from Russia, Brazil and France. A major professional basketball player has already expressed serious interest,” the NY Daily reports.

    Bring this whole story to 2012. Gangsters/Political crooks would include B. Obama, T. Geitner, R. Emanuel, R. Blagoyevich, V. Jarrett, S. Alinsky, J. Jackson Jr., G. Ryan plus a host of others too long to list. Geitner hasn’t gone to jail for not paying taxes. Three of the above are in the clink. All of the above would be welcome to the estate for drinking, eating, relaxation, fishing and swimming – after all they all are Chicago buddies. Holder would be invited to keep him on their side.

    Just think, if all the tax evaders in obamas ‘outfit’ were in jail and Capone was still in Chicago, then the U.S. would once again be a productive place to live, and Chicago would at last have an HONEST citizen. Big Al took responsibility for his actions, unlike the previous named ‘outfit’.

    and as an extra added benefit, you get to live in the home of a man who killed hundreds of people, many of them personally when he was a young man…would make the new home owner so proud.

    You know looking at Al’s picture posted here makes me think about the media types, government types and similar apparel. Ever notice (Men) that the media guys, government employees, not just senators or cogressmen, where “French Cuff” shirts now. Tell me where you buy those, not a department store, pretty classy for people working for us? I bet you (Public) are not wearing “French Cuff” shirts. Little tell tale signs show you how rough their lives are compared to all you filthy rich public workers. Sad, graft and corruption, sick of seeing the worms every where.

      To man on a mission: off shore accounts are *legal*. Every American who has enough money to have them, *should* have them.

      You should do everything you can do to shield your money (legally) from our more and more intrusive, socialist government.

      Also, Romney (and I don’t like him, but I will vote for him) actually went out and earned his money and while doing it, created thousands of jobs for fellow citizens. Your boy Obama is worth millions and has done *nothing – zip – zero – nada* to earn it. And as President he has not created a single job (except in government – and those are just transfers of wealth from one person to another) but has cost the actual private sector economy *millions* of jobs.

      Yeah – really great guy that Obama.

    Claiming that putting one man away for tax evasion was somehow putting “an end” to the manipulation of the banking system and money schemes is the never ending joke on the American people…..
