KHUN SA, NET WORTH: $5 BILLION Khun Sa was a Burmese drug lord who had a role in the opium and heroin trade. In addition, Khun Sa, who was born as Chang Chi-Fu, was leader of both the Shan United Army and the Mong Tai Army. As a young man, he trained during the Chinese Civil War and formed an army of his own, which consisted of a few hundred soldiers. He eventually got involved in the drug trade and was largely responsible for much of the heroin on the streets of New York from the mid 1970s all the way through the early 1990s. Many perceived Khun Sa as one of the most ruthless drug lords during the height of his dominance. Before his rise as a drug lord, he was a fighter with the Chinese and even had weapons of mass destruction at his disposal for a brief time. In the 1960s, he worked with others in the opium trade in an area known as “the golden triangle.” This area was where most of the drug trade in Burma, Laos, and Thailand was taking place. Less than two decades later, he was heading up more than half of the triangle’s opium trade, which was also being made into heroin. While he tried hard to balance both his control of the soldiers and his drug-trading endeavors, he caught the attention of New York drug enforcement agencies. The U.S. government put a $2 million bond on Khun Sa’s head, but he did not see his dealing in the drug trade as a bad thing. In fact, he argued that his business was helping those in Burma to feed their families. He claimed he was helping to fight the oppression of the Shan people, but the drug issue in America had become so bad that he was one of the most wanted men of his time. But instead of being indicted and arrested on drug charges, he chose to surrender and agree to a peace deal in 1996 in the capital of Burma, and he then went deep into hiding. This left the United States with few options, and he was never officially detained. In fact, Khun Sa remained in hiding until his death in 2007. Kuhn Sa will always be remembered as one of the most ruthless drug lords of all time. Upon his death, rumors swirled about whether or not he died in absolute poverty and isolation or surrounded by opulence and riches. Because he went so deep into hiding, much about his later years is unknown. He had at least eight children, five sons and three daughters, but some claim he had as many as 30 offspring. The modern-day opium trade originating from the “golden triangle” has been reduced from a staggering 75% to approximately 5% today. No one can be certain if Kuhn Sa’s death is related to this statistic, but many feel that his role as a leader in the drug trade was essential in keeping that number so high for so long. http://www.newbeginningsdrugrehab.org/drug-lord-khun-sa

THE OCHOA BROTHERS, NET WORTH: $6 BILLION Another unseemly family story, the three Ochoa brothers began trafficking drugs in 1977 when they had their boss executed to take over cocaine exports. Together, they earned a profit of $6 billion. As we know Columbia is a big country in drug dealing. Let's take a look at who the richest Colombian drug lord is. Three brothers, Jorge, Juan and Fabio, who were from the upper middle class and well educated, too, were all in the line of drug selling and made a huge fortune up to $6 billion. They are known for their special team work to make revenue. They were arrested in 1991 and were out of prison in 1996. In 1999, the youngest brother was arrested again and sentenced to jail for 30 years. http://www.enkivillage.com/richest-drug-lord.html

DAWOOD IBRAHIM KASKAR, NET WORTH: $6.7 BILLION Dawood Ibrahim (born Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar) is the leader of the Indian organised crime syndicate D-Company founded in Mumbai. He is currently on the wanted list of Interpol for cheating, criminal conspiracy and running an organised crime syndicate. He was number three on the The World's 10 Most Wanted Ibrahim is accused of heading an illegal empire in India, against India and Indians. After the 1993 Bombay bombings, which Ibrahim allegedly organised and financed, he became India's most wanted man. According to the United States Department of Treasury, Ibrahim may have had ties with Osama bin Laden. As a consequence, the United States declared Ibrahim a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" in 2003 and pursued the matter before the United Nations in an attempt to freeze his assets around the world and crack down on his operations. The Bush administration imposed several sanctions on Ibrahim and his associates. Indian and Russian intelligence agencies have pointed out Ibrahim's possible involvement in several other terror attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, as per Interpol. In 2010, a US Congressional report claimed that "d-company has a 'strategic alliance' with Pakistan's ISI". Ever since he took to hiding, his location has been frequently traced to Karachi, Pakistan, a claim which Pakistani authorities have denied. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawood_Ibrahim

AMADO CARRILLO FUENTES, NET WORTH: $25 BILLION Amado Carrillo Fuentes net worth is estimated at $25 billion. Fuentes, known as Lord of the Skies was a Mexican drug lord who seized control of the Juárez Cartel after assassinating his boss Rafael Aguilar Guajardo. Fuentes was part of the Guadalajara Cartel who was tasked to oversee the cocaine shipments of his uncle.He was also responsible for the border operations from Pablo Acosta Villarreal "El Zorro de Ojinaga" Amado Carrillo Fuentes net worth came from transporting multi-ton cocaine from Mexico direct to Manhattan during his life time. Fuentes used over 27 private Boeing 727 jet airliners to transport Colombian cocaine to municipal airports and airstrips around Mexico which contributed too much to Amado Carrillo Fuentes net worth. Before his death, Fuentes’ cartel was shipping multi-ton shipments directly into Manhattan, and million dollar payments to Carrillo were seized at the El Paso-Ciudad Juárez border. Fuentes had been hunted by law enforcement since he took over the cartel in April 1993 after the death of Rafael Aguilar Guajardo. Amado Carrillo Fuentes net worth was hit hard when on July 3, 1997 Fuentes underwent facial plastic surgery and liposuction of his abdomen at Santa Mónica Hospital in Mexico City which led to his death. On November 7, 1997, the bodies of the two physicians who performed the surgery on Fuentes were found dead, encased in concrete inside steel drums, with their bodies showing signs of torture. In 2006, the mansion of Fuentes, dubbed "The Palace of a Thousand and One Nights" was ordered to tear down by Governor Eduardo Bours. The mansion, dubbed "The Palace of a Thousand and One Nights" still sits unoccupied. During a 2007 raid, the authorities found more than $200 million in cash hidden in walls, closets and suitcases in the house. http://www.bornrich.com/amado-carrillo-fuentes.html

PABLO ESCOBAR, NET WORTH: $30 BILLION Notoriously violent, powerful and ruthless, Pablo Escobar ruled the Colombian cocaine trade for two decades, until his death in a rooftop shootout in December 1993. His nefarious enterprise brought him a level of wealth that had him listed in the top ten richest men in the world in the mid-1980s. Possibly one of the most famous names in criminal history, Escobar remains to this day a cult figure to some Colombians, particularly in the slums of Medellin, his city of birth. Born Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria in Medellin, Colombia, to middle-class parents. His elder brother, Roberto, reported him as a good brother, who was kind, friendly and intelligent and someone who would achieve greatness. The young Escobar was driven and dreamed of becoming the president of Colombia. His drive unfortunately began to find the wrong outlets and he was soon involved in small-time hustling with his gang in the streets of Medellin. There exist unfounded rumours that, whilst still at school, Escobar would steal tombstones from the local graveyards, sandblast off the names and sell them to Panamanian smugglers. He did not drink much besides beer and did not smoke cigarettes, although he developed a liking for the strong Colombian cannabis, a habit he indulged until his death. Doing whatever he could to make money, by the age of 20, Escobar was dealing cannabis, skilled at stealing cars and starting to build a name for himself in the Colombian criminal underworld. It was in the early 1970s that he entered the cocaine trade and began buying high-grade coca paste from Bolivia and Peru. He processed it into cocaine, which he transported to America for distribution. Escobar’s drug business began to grow and, requiring a greater workforce, he decided to collaborate with other criminal groups in the area and together they formed the Medellin Cartel. When the well-known Medellin drug dealer, Fabio Restrepo, was murdered in 1975, Escobar became head of the Medellin Cartel and his brother, Roberto, handled the accounts. It was believed that Escobar had arranged for Restrepo’s murder for this very end. Escobar seemed to have a preference for young girls and at age 26 he fell in love with a 15-year-old, Maria Victoria Henao Vellejo. In order to marry in 1976, they had to seek approval from the local bishop. The couple had two children, Juan Pablo and Manuela. Whilst they remained married until Escobar’s demise, he was known to have constant affairs, most frequently with underage girls. He always did exactly as he pleased and would, more often than not, kill anyone who dared oppose him. In this way, Escobar’s power grew and he was associated with many kidnaps and assassinations over the years. He also had an affable side and due to his growing wealth and influence, enjoyed a certain amount of public popularity and political standing. In 1982 Escobar was elected as a deputy representative to the Chamber of Representatives of Colombia’s Congress, as part of the Colombian Liberal Party. He went on to sponsor various charities and football clubs in the Medellin area. Referred to by his brother, Roberto, as a modern day Robin Hood, Escobar often paid for low-cost housing and other community necessities for the poor people of his neighbourhood. It was apparently a meticulously built image that Escobar promoted in his own newspaper and which ensured his protection by many Medellin citizens. Escobar built his drug trafficking industry to such an extent that he eventually controlled over 80% of the cocaine sent to America. With his own factories and an entire fleet of aeroplanes and ships, including two radio-controlled submarines, it has been estimated that Escobar smuggled 70 to 80 tonnes of cocaine from Colombia to America per month, and as much as 11 tonnes in each flight. In order to launder the drug money, the Medellin Cartel controlled a large amount of crooked white-collar workers, such as bankers, lawyers and extended family. http://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/pablo-escobar 2 Likes
