Probably Pablo Escobar

That is true.
In my mind, "most successful" is a combination of avoiding the long arm of the law, not getting offed by your rivals, and the amount of wealth you are able to accumulate, which is why I chose Ching Shih. She got rich, kicked ass, got legitimate, retired, died peacefully.

Medellin cartel would shit all over any OC gang from the US

He made the most cash and exerted great influence, but he still got tracked down and lit up. He was #winning, but didn't win.
no contest
Mike Madigan owns Chicago and diverts tax dollars to his pocket. He's also setting up a dynasty and has been doing this since 83'.
Donald Trump
Vladimir Putin, no one else comes close

You are correct. I was just having this discussion at work today. It's public record that he's a crook. I'm amazed, as a resistered Democrat, that the party allows him to be speaker. Good fucking dammit, I wish that local, and state politics had more coverage on local news. I wish that the average person was aware of their own state's government. So much good could be done by these local and state politicians being blown out by investigative journalists, but that cater is dead, due to the people who don't want such things known. Now, in Chicago, it's literally 4chan approved history.

Arnold Rothstein or Johnny Torio.
If you've heard of them, they aren't the most successful.
