Pablo Escobar is the Beyonce of drugs.

He was responsible for so much of the illegal drug trade that he was one of the most wanted criminals in the world.

Although he ultimately became the most powerful drug trader in the world, he started off his criminal escapades by stealing and reselling tombstones from graveyards and other low cost items such as stolen stereos.

Imagine having the world’s most wanted drug trader be the guy who sells you a stereo.

After selling stolen stereos, he then went on to become slightly more of a notable criminal – doing things such as putting a bomb in a plane, killing 100 people. You know, just gradually moving up in the criminal world.

His ruthlessness in killing government officials, police and civilians in order to preserve his drug empire eventually caught the attention of the government who went on to arrest him later. After he surrendered to them on the 19th June, 1991.

However this arrest was hardly a usual imprisonment, he was living in luxury in a private jail that was named “La Catedral” which was equipped with a nightclub, a sauna, a waterfall, and probably a dedicated cocaine room too knowing him.

Pablo also continued to conduct business in drug trading from his ‘prison’ and even ended up killing 2 cartel members there.

However these ruthless actions would eventually be his downfall, as plans were made (after he literally murdered another 2 people) to have him sent to a higher security prison. Pablo didnt like the idea of this and so escaped before he could be transferred and tried to go into hiding in Medellín, Columbia. This was probably the worst choice for a hideout place thiugh, as he ran the ‘Medellín Drug Cartel’ , lived in Medellín and grew up in Medellín. Not exacly surprising that the police went on to quickly find him in Medellín, where they went on to fataly shoot him the day after his birthday.

At some points he was estimated to have a net worth of $25 Billion, and he achieved all this without even having to go to college or university. What a motivational guy.
