Pablo Escobar

Pablo Escobar is arguably the most well-known drug lord of the twenty-first century. In his field, Pablo Escobar is unequaled. The "King of Cocaine" created a fortune that made him history's richest criminal. In addition, he is one of the world's richest people. He held a near-monopoly on the drug trade in the United States for numerous years. In writing, his dominion is unequaled, and when read aloud, it almost appears made up.

His gang imported 70 to 80 tonnes of cocaine into the United States every month. Approximately 80% of the country's total revenue, as well as hundreds of tonnes sent to countries in every area except Antarctica. As a consequence, he made $420 million every week. Pablo had a lot of clout because of his money. As a result, he could bribe politicians or assassinate them if they refused to take his bribes. Forbes Magazine listed Escobar as the world's richest man, with a net worth of $30 billion. Escobar was murdered by Colombian soldiers with US aid after escaping from a Colombian prison in 1993.
