Amado Carrillo Fuentes

Amado Carrillo Fuentes was a drug lord in Mexico. After his boss Rafael Aguilar Guajardo was slain, he took over the Juárez Cartel. "El Senor de Los Cielos" is another name for Fuentes. Which translates to "King of the Skies." You might be wondering why he goes by this name. Because he used to fly a big fleet of aircraft to transfer narcotics. He was also known for laundering money through Colombia in order to support this fleet.

His fortune as a member of the Mexican Cartel is estimated to be at $25 billion, or $56.8 billion today. He ranks second among the world's wealthiest criminals. He was well-known at the time, and he appears to be well-known with any post related to illicit conduct. If the celebrities who regret plastic surgery aren't enough to make you reconsider, perhaps the drug lord's death will: he died as a result of problems from a post-plastic surgery treatment designed to disguise his look so police wouldn't be able to apprehend him.
