The Medelln Cartel was founded and led by Pablo Emilio Escobar, a Colombian drug lord and narco-terrorist. Escobar, dubbed "The King of Cocaine," is the wealthiest criminal in history, with a net worth of US$30 billion at the time of his death—equivalent to $64 billion in 2021—during the 1980s and early 1990s, when his drug cartel monopolised the cocaine trade into the United States. On December 2, 1993, he was shot dead.
