Greatest Heists in History: The Nazi Plunder, Mona Lisa, $1 Billion Raid

The Nazi plunder, the Mona Lisa thieves, and the $1 billion raid: hear all about the “greatest” heists in history on this Edge of Wonder Live with Ben and Rob.

Throughout history, the boldest thieves have turned museums, banks, and vaults into their personal playgrounds—snatching billions, vanishing into immoral legends, and leaving the world gasping. The recent Louvre jewelry heist reignited people’s fascination with these daring but terrible crimes, which is exactly why we’re diving into this topic now.

We’ll dive into the shadowy genius who emptied the Louvre’s masterpiece wall in 1911 when thieves stole the Mona Lisa, the high-tech crews who cracked unbreakable safes, the more than $1 billion that vanished in Iraq, and even a Nazi plunder. These are the “greatest” heists ever pulled.

Buckle up as Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts go deeper into the art of the steal. Then at the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer only on Rise.TV. See you out on the edge!
