Escobar and His Incredible Wealth...(Vanity upon Vanity)

                               

By the mid-1980s, Pablo Escobar's cartel was bringing in $420m a week, nearly $22 billion a year, which is £322m a week. 

In 1989, he was the Forbes seventh richest man in the world. 

Escobar had to spend $2,500 a month, about £1,900, on rubber bands, to keep his notes in order. 

He apparently once set fire to $2 million in order to keep his daughter warm. 

His nickname was Robin Hood after he gave out money to the poor and built housing for the homeless.

Escobar reportedly wrote off 10 per cent of his profits per year, $250 million per month, because it was being damaged by water, eaten by rats, or otherwise destroyed.

He also had to buy a new plane because the one he used to bring money over was too small to hold so much cash. 

Last year a Colombian farmer was reported to have found $600 million of Escobar's money buried in a field near Medellin after digging up the land to start a palm oil plantation. 

He owned luxury cars, planes and even two submarines at one point. 

In 2009, $8 million (£5 million) had been discovered at a hidden complex built in the jungle, where there had been cocaine factories.

Christian de Berdouare, a chicken restaurant owner, who bought Escobar's former Miami mansion in 2014 for $10million, believes there could be hidden treasure stashed inside the property. 

Escobar began his criminal career as a teenager selling contraband cigarettes and stealing cars on the streets of Medellin in Colombia.

He moved on to cocaine trafficking in the 1970s and became so successful that he had 15 planes six helicopters to help smuggle the drugs into the U.S.
