The new drug lord
As time passed by, Escobar took over 80% of the drug trade in the U.S. Also during this time he built up his violence reputation by killing rivals and opponents, and even their families, but also personally executing uncooperative associates. Escobar would import coca paste from Peru, process it in Colombia, then fly it to the United States. This was his way of making cocaine the cheapest way possible which is the reason why he became the 7th richest man in the world at the height of his career. This changed the lower classes life because Escobar used his money to help the poor like building them a neighborhood.
