The world’s most powerful drugs baron, Pablo Escobar, was shot and killed by police on December 2, 1993, after walking into an ambush. Ironically, he was betrayed in Medellin, Colombia, the centre of his empire where he believed he was safe. Escobar, 44, had a price of $8.7 million price on his head.
By the mid-80s Pablo Escobar owned 19 different residences in Medellin alone, each with a helipad. There was so much money rolling into his enterprise that figuring out how to invest it was more than he could handle; millions were simply buried.
