   $30 billion U.S. at least.

   
   

   Net worth is a difficult thing to measure as most of the parties that estimate these figures do so based off of public records. Pablo Escobar, the most infamous and successful drug dealer of all time would have public records that are about as reliable as a paper sail boat.

   
   

   Given this, one must look for other measures to estimate. According to Pablo's brother, at the peak of their business Escobar's Medellín Cartel supplied 80% of the world's cocaine and spent $2,500 a week on rubber bands for their stacks of cash. Meanwhile, 10% of their money was written off automatically due to spoilage from rats eating bills in storage. 

   
   

   He was able to supply 80 tonnes per month to the U.S. and once offered to pay off the national debt which stood at $10 billion. All in all his net worth was estimated to be at least $30 billion U.S.
