About this listen

Frustrated by the racist, sexist stereotypes keeping her down, Doris Payne started swiping precious jewels out of spite as a teen. For the next seven decades, she executed heists across nine countries, with thefts totalling an estimated $2 million.

Now in her 90s, she’s still regarded as America’s most prolific jewel thief.
