Death Toll
Some estimates put Pablo Escobar’s body count as high as 60,000 people.
High Times
In the early 80s, the street value of a kilo of cocaine in Miami was $50,000.
Profit Margin
In 1982, the Narcos made $42,300 in profit for every kilo they sold.
Mama's Couch
Pablo made so much cash he had to hide a million dollars in his mother’s couch.
Pregnant Mules
US customs didn’t check pregnant women… which made them the perfect drug mules.
Pricey Cars
Pablo's smuggling cars held up to 5 kilos per wheel well. At $9 a gram, that’s $180,000 a trip.
Employer of The Year
At its peak, the Medellín cartel employed over 750,000 people - that’s more than FedEx, Domino's, and Google… combined.
Top Export
By 1987, Colombia exported more cocaine than oil and coffee combined.
