  10. David Berg, founder of The Family International (aka Children of God)

They’re most notorious for “flirty fishing”- using sex and even child pornography to get converts. Berg died of natural causes but the cult is still around. The most famous followers are the parents of the Phoenix sibling (Joaquin, River, Rain, etc.). I don’t know if the actors are still involved.

River Phoenix died a few years ago

Yes, but his siblings are still alive (I don’t know if their parents are) and I don’t know if they’re still involved with the cult.
