Bonnie and Clyde, the infamous criminal duo, were known for their numerous robberies during the Great Depression. However, contrary to popular belief, they did not amass a huge fortune. Most of their robberies were small-scale, targeting gas stations, grocery stores, and small banks.
It is estimated that Bonnie and Clyde stole a total of around $100,000 over their two-year crime spree. This amount, when adjusted for inflation, would be roughly equivalent to $1.8 million today. Despite their notoriety, their actual take was relatively modest compared to other criminals of their time.
Their crimes were more about the thrill and the legend they created rather than the money. Bonnie and Clyde’s story has since become a part of American folklore, often romanticized in movies and books.
