pablo escobar

Pablo Escobar is one of the most notorious if not the most notorious drug dealers ever to walk this planet. Columbian born, Pablo Escobar was the leader of the largest cocaine processing and distributing organizations in the world (Thompson). With a net worth of over fifteen billion dollars in American currency he was listed on Forbes as the seventh richest man during his reign (In Medellin becomes tourist attraction). Pablo Escobar is one of the most influential and feared persons to ever live in Columbia. He had the money and the power to influence other people in Columbia that were also very well respected and powerful. For example, Pablo and his cartel had ties with two Columbian presidents as well as other politicians that were powerful (World-Theage.com.au). The question that surrounded Pablo and still lingers around even after his death is, if his giant illegal enterprise outweigh his legacy that still lives on today.
