In 2005, Kozlowski was arrested and served six and a half years in prison for looting nearly $100 million from his company. Records revealed that he secretly loaned tens of millions of dollars of corporate funds to executives and forgave those loans to win their loyalty. (What a swell guy.)

On top of all that, without board approval, he doled out millions in bonuses and used company money to buy himself a $16.8 million apartment in New York City. He repeatedly dipped into Tyco's til to cover his personal $80,000 American Express bill and luxury oddities, including a $17,100 traveling toilet box, a $15,000 dog umbrella stand, and a $6,000 shower curtain.
