Jay Gatsby's wealth in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" is believed to come from bootlegging (illegal alcohol trade during Prohibition), which was a lucrative business during the 1920s. Gatsby also had connections to organized crime and engaged in various illegal activities to amass his fortune.
