  • @CycleCruza
    You have to give it to Pablo, it's amazing he lasted as long as he did and thrived like nobody else. (Btw Narcos brought me here)

  • @alexanderh.3078
    Anyone else stopped watching Narcos after season 2 Bcs Pablo died?
  • @NickPR87
    Narcos is legit, but if you want to see an actual good portrayal of Escobar, watch the Colombian series "El Patrón del Mal". Even Escobar's real life hitman said that dude played him almost perfectly. A good number of the scenes in there gave me chills!
  • @DESIBOY-fe7nm
    My father would burn me to keep the dollars warm. Whoa.!! Thanks for the likes buddies. 😀😊
  • When you burn 2 million dollars that means you have your own inflation! Money was just paper for him at some point!
  • @cris337733
    Escobar>El chapo 1: Pablo almost became president of Colombia 2: He built his own prison for him and his homies. 3: He made 30 billion dollars, (the value of money was way more in the 70s.) 4: Now that's a real bad guy.

    Pablo is the pure definition of You Only Live Once💯
  • @rubykimygsm9831
    "Kylie Jenner Self Made Billionaire" Pablo: WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN?
  • Another fact is that he never snorted coke in his life, instead Pablo was a stoner. He also owned a soccer team which he used for money laundering.
