Richest Real-Life Pirates | Top 10

7Thomas White – $16 million

Thomas White was a pirate of the Caribbean during the early half of the 18th century.

Thomas White handled cutlass and pistols with great skill and after his death, he was conscripted into the undead army of Jolly Roger.

Due to confusion of his identity, many mistook him for James White of the British fleet.  And this is how Thomas White found out about his twin brother’s reputation and posed as Captain James Blanco.

Searching for a ship to scuttle for profit, Thomas White targeted his twin brother, who stole the family’s meager assets.
He tipped off the authorities and with his brother now in chains, you might assume that he received his prize. Well, that was not the case.

Instead, he ended up in a tavern frequented by Garcia de la Avaricia. And once he heard that his twin brother was free again, he decided to finish the job and to finally settle scores with him.
