pablo escobar was one of the most powerful drug lords, but his peak was really around the 1980s. during the 1980s he earned about $61 million.
-- He even made so much that he spent over $1,000 on rubber bands every week.
-- Because it was so much money a lot was also lost, because Pablo had to make many warehouses at a high rate they
-- were often not all equally well protected and built. Hence, more than 10 percent of the money that was stored in
-- warehouses was eaten by rats, among others.
-- Escobar was shot dead during his arrest on December 2, 1993.
