He was on the list twice. I read a book called Killing Pablo about the hunt for Escobar. At the height of his power he was sending 5 747's full of cocaine into the US every week. If I remember correctly he made the Forbes list twice.

At one point the Colombian government arrested him and he cut a deal. They let him build his own jail and hire all the people that worked in it. So he ran the place and lived like a king while serving his sentence and still ran his empire right from there.
