Pablo Escobar Gaviria
Pablo Escobar Gaviria was a Colombian drug lord and the founder of the Medellín Cartel, notorious for being one of the wealthiest criminals in history. During the 1980s, he led a violent campaign to control the cocaine trade in Colombia and the United States, amassing a fortune estimated in billions of dollars. Escobar was known for his ruthlessness and the use of extreme violence against rivals, law enforcement, and anyone who opposed him. Despite his criminal empire, he also gained notoriety for philanthropic efforts in poor neighborhoods of Medellín. Escobar's reign ended with his death in 1993 during a shootout with Colombian National Police, but his legacy continues to influence the world of organized crime.
