Pablo Escobar, arguably the biggest drug lord of all time, stands in front of the White House with his son, 1981
Pablo Escobar was a drug lord from Colombia, South America. He was called "The king of cocaine", as he created one of the most infamous drug cartels in history, the Medellín Cartel.
Escobar is speculated to have been the wealthiest criminal of all time. By the time of his death in 1993, Escobar had amassed a fortune of 30 billion US dollars, equalling 70 billion US dollars today.
During the 1980s, it is speculated that Escobar was shipping out 70 - 80 tonnes of powder cocaine a month. It is rumored that he had to spend 2,500 US dollars a month on rubber bands to hold his money together.
There is even a story that while on the run in 1992, Escobar was with his daughter in a hideout house, which became cold. To warm her up, he burned 2 million US dollars in banknotes.
In the picture above, Escobar stands in front of the White House with his son. He would go on to be one of the most wanted men on the planet. During his whole operation, Escobar embarrassed the US government and their failed policies to counter drugs entering the US, as well as the war on drugs as a whole operation.
