Recently I watched Narcos series (season one). It is the story of Pablo Escobar, popularly known as the King of Cocaine. I decided to find out more about him. If you don't know anything about him oR haven't heard of the name Pablo, read and thank me later. Lol
1. From humble beginnings to seventh-richest man in the world. Pablo Escobar will forever be known as the Drug Kingpin. Despite being a poor farm boy, Escobar rose to become the leader of the infamous Medellin Cartel – a drug organization that became responsible for supplying 80% of the world’s cocaine. Pablo was born in Rionegro, Colombia in 1949. His mother was a School Teacher and his father was a Farmer.
2. On the streets of Medellin, Pablo started his criminal career in his teens. It is said he used to steal tombstones, sandblast the names of them and sell them to smugglers in Panama. Pablo was ambitious from the beginning, and he used to tell his friends that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 22.
