Top 5 Billionaire Scandals in 2013

No. 3: Jacqueline Mars and reckless driving


They say that some people can get away with anything, and Jacqueline Mars is the perfect example. In October 2013, Mars slammed her car into another vehicle, killing one passenger as well as the unborn baby of another. She was only charged with reckless driving, to which she pleaded guilty. Since reckless driving is only a misdemeanor in the US, there was no jail time involved and Mars only had to pay a fine of a little over $2,000, which can hardly put a dent in her fortune, as she’s reported to have a net worth of over $20 billion.
