I think Mad Max holds the record. (the original)

Mad Max. $200k budget, almost $100m worldwide, for a 495x ROI

Deep Throat had at least a 600x multiple (a budget of $47,000 and a box office somewhere between 30 million and 50 million). Blair witch had over a 1000x multiple, with the same 200k budget as mad Max and a box office around 200 million. Paranormal Activity also seems to be close to the 1000x mark.
