    Get rich

    Portraits of New York wealth

    You want to be rich? Here are the local successes to emulate.

    By Danae DeShazer

    Edgar Bronfman Sr., 78

    Net worth: $3.2 billion
    Bootlegging pays big!!
    Bronfman's father founded Distillers Corporation in 1924 and made a fortune smuggling whiskey to the States from Canada during Prohibition. Taking the family business legit, Bronfman has diversified the holdings by building megabrands like Absolut Vodka and Tropicana juice. Next time you see one of Absolut's iconic ads, raise a glass to Ed's billions.
