10 Sandra Ávila Beltrán
Sandra Ávila Beltrán, born 11 October 1960, gained herself the nickname “The Queen of the Pacific” when she became the leader of a Mexican drug cartel. She was married twice, both her husbands were ex-police turned drug traffickers and were eventually killed by hired hitmen. Beltrán was very clever at leaving no evidence or arousing police suspicions, this was until 2002 when her son was kidnapped and there was a $5 million ransom for his safe return. After her son was returned to her, police launched an investigation.
In 2007, she was charged with organized crime and drug trafficking offences. Although some of the charges were dropped throughout the trial, she was still charged with possession of illegal weapons and money laundering. During interrogation she described herself as a housewife who makes her money by selling clothes on the side but her story was not bought by officials. She remains behind bars today
9 Thelma Wright
Thelma Wright’s husband, Jackie Wright, was one of the biggest names in the Philadelphia drug game. He was murdered in 1986, his body found rolled up in a rug with a gunshot wound to the head. After the murder, Thelma took over the family business and became the new boss transporting Class A drugs between Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
The couple had a son together and she wrote in her memoir: “People are assuming Jackie left me all this money. Nope. I got this child. I can’t lay down and die, so we just resumed business as normal. Made a lot of money. A lot of money.” Wright claimed that she would make as much as $400,000 each month. In 1991, she left a late-night club called Studio West and was caught up in a gangland shootout. It was at this point that Wright decided to turn her back on crime for good.
In 2011, she became a writer and an inspirational speaker for those who have had run-ins with the law. She said of her new line of work, “when I go around and I speak to people, I’m letting them know that you need to stay away from this game. You’re not going to win. It is a ‘no win.’ Two options: death or jail. That’s it. Would I do it again? No. No, absolutely not”.
8 Claudia Ochoa Felix
Claudia Ochoa Felix has earned herself the reputation as “The Kim Kardashian of Organised Crime”, thanks to her ever-pouting image that she has been known to flaunt on Instagram. In 2014, it was reported by several British tabloids that Felix had become the new head of the Mexican gang known as Los Ántrax, who have been labelled responsible for hundreds of gruesome murders.
US intelligence has reported that the gang is “the world’s most powerful trafficking organization” as they are formed by a group made up of deadly hitmen. Felix gained the head position of the Los Ántrax after the previous leader, her boyfriend Jose Rodrigo Arechiga “El Chino” Gamboa, got arrested. El Chino was accused of the death of three men who were found hanging from a bridge in Mexico nearly four years ago.
Although Felix likes to play the part of a loving mother to her three children from a previous relationship, there aren’t many women like her who have access to unlimited funds and a custom AK-47.

Judy and three others were arrested on suspicion of the murder. The police alleged that Moran had hid the getaway car in her own garage and then disposed of it later, they had everything they needed on surveillance to finally see her spend time behind bars.

5 Maria Licciardi
Maria Licciardi, was born 24 March 1951, was the former head of the Licciardi clan, based in Secondigliano, north Naples. She was a crime boss for nearly eight years until her arrest in 2001. Maria became the first female boss of the Licciardi clan after her husband and two brothers were arrested. She was often labelled “The Godmother” by her gang who controlled drug trafficking and extortion rackets throughout north Naples.
Before she became leader the clan had never been involved with sex work. Licciardi introduced a new revenue stream where her gang would buy young girls, many underage, from the Albanian mafia for $2,000 each. The girls would be promised work in another country and they were more than happy to escape the poverty of their own homeland. When they arrived in north Naples they were enslaved, doped to avoid escape and then forced into sex work. When they were no longer required for service in the sex trade they were murdered.
In 1999, her reign came to an end over a disagreement with heroin. A new shipment of the drug had been received, but she claimed it was too pure to be sold as it would kill the purchaser. Another gang, Lo Russo clan, sold the shipment anyway and eleven addicts were killed. This caused such public outrage that the police began a crackdown on gangs who were operating in the area. Licciardi went on the run until she was arrested in 2001, and she remains behind bars today – although it’s believed she still commands the clan from her cell.

She goes by the alias of "baby" but this experienced drug dealer isn't new to the team of drug trafficking. She reigned as the head of the meow meow drug rocket in Mumbai, and made her mark as the biggest dealer of mephedrone in the city. She held her throne into 2015 when she was arrested after being on the run for almost forty days.
2 Katherine Knight
Born on 24 October 1955 and continues to serve life long sentence in the prison, Katherine Mary Knight was the first Australian woman to be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. She had a history of violence in relationships. She mashed the dentures of one of her ex-husbands and slashed the throat of another husband’s eight-week-old puppy before his eyes. A heated relationship with John Charles Thomas Price became public knowledge with an Apprehended Violence Order that Price had filed against Knight and ended with Knight stabbing Price to death with a butcher’s knife. He had been stabbed at least 37 times, both front and back, with many of the wounds penetrating vital organs. She then skinned him and hung his “suit” from the door frame in the living room, cut off his head and put it in the soup pot, baked his buttocks, and prepared gravy and vegetables to accompany the ‘roast’. The meal and a vindictive note were set out for the children, luckily discovered by police before they arrived home.
1 Belle Gunness
Standing six feet tall and weighing over 91 kg, a physically strong woman, Belle Gunness was one of America’s most degenerate and productive female serial killers. She was an imposing and powerful woman of Norwegian descent. It is likely that she killed both her husbands and all of her children at different times, but it is certain that she murdered most of her suitors, boyfriends, and her two daughters, Myrtle and Lucy. The motive was greed-pure and simple; life insurance policies and assets stolen or swindled from her suitors became her source of income. Most reports put her death toll at more than twenty victims over several decades, with some claiming in excess of one hundred. Inconsistencies during her post mortem examination; the corpse was reported to be two inches shorter than Belle’s six feet, paved the way for Belle Gunnes to enter American criminal folklore, a female Bluebeard.
