Did you know? 


Did you know that Pablo Escobar spent $2,500 a month on rubber bands alone just to keep his cash bundled together? Pablo Escobar was from a poor family in Colombia but he became one of the world’s wealthiest men. Dubbed as the “King of Cocaine”, he was one of the world’s most notorious drug dealers. He was responsible for 80% of the global cocaine market. Due to the nature of drug money, Escobar’s net worth can only be determined through estimations. At the height of his power in the mid-1980s, he earns roughly $70 million a day-- an amount that could run payday loan apps like Earnin without difficulty. In 1989, he was on the 7th spot of Forbes’ list of international billionaires. But with wealth as vast as Escobar's, there won't be a need for the best payday loans in town. His immense richness even became a problem when he couldn’t launder his cash quickly enough. He resorted to stashing piles of money in farm fields, warehouses, and in the houses of his cartel members. Each year, his accountant would write off 10% of the money or roughly about $2.1 billion just because the rats would eat it in storage, damaged by molds or lost. The Don Juan magazine conducted an interview with Juan Pablo (Escobar's son) in 2009. He revealed that while they were on the run, his father burned $2 million to keep his sister Manuela from hypothermia. They also used the same fire to prepare food.


Despite being a narco-terrorist, the El Patron was likened by Colombians to Robin Hood due to his philanthropic efforts. His popularity with his countrymen even earned him a seat in the Congress in 1982. He was shot dead in 1993 while escaping the police and his gravesite is the second most visited tomb in South America.
