See How Much Drug Lord Pablo Escobar Was Earning Per-Week Before His Arrest

Cash

When he got arrested by the Colombian police, they were going to extradite him to the U.S. He didn't want to, so he actually offered to pay the country's national debt, which was around 20$ billion, in exchange for keeping in Colombia. The authorities didn't accept the money but they allowed him to stay in Colombia.
He also transported cocaine through submarines and commercial airplanes.
At the height of his criminal career, he was earning 420$ million dollars a week.
