Charles De Ville Wells (20 April 1841 - July 1922) was an English gambler and fraudster. In a series of successful gambles in 1891 he "broke the bank at Monte Carlo" (depleted the funds of the gaming table at which he was playing), celebrated by the song "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo". Subsequently, he was often referred to, especially in publications, as "Monte Carlo Wells".[1]
