If you're asking who the richest criminal in "history" was, it would go to Pablo Escobar. Escobar's net worth was estimated to be over $9 billion USD in 1989. He was the head of the Medellin Cartel in Colombia in the 80's and early 90's.
Due to the illicit nature of his income, estimates for his net worth range from $6 billion all the way up to over $25 billion. His nearest competitor was likely Carlos Lehder, a co-founder of the Cartel with a net worth estimated at just under $3 billion. So no matter what estimate you find most convincing, his ranking is secure barring any new information.
Pablo Escobar was killed during a raid by the Colombian "Search Bloc" aided by US Special forces in December of 1993.
Mark Bowden (Black Hawk Down) wrote a biography about Escobar called "Killing Pablo" which was adapted into a film and documentary.
