1. This is “Freeway” Rick Ross

At the peak of his time as a drug kingpin, “Freeway” Rick Ross made $1 to $2 million per day and roughly $600 million total selling cocaine. He’s definitely one of the richest drug dealers ever, but these days he’s totally legit.

Please RT
Rafael Caro Quintero

As we mentioned, marijuana is mainstream in the United States these days. Quintero made his money smuggling marijuana from Mexico to the U.S. before it was legal. That’s how he made $650 million dealing drugs.
Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Leora

El Chapo is one of d richest criminals of all time, so you know he’s also one of d richest drug dealers we’ve ever seen.He’s also incredibly famous for a drug dealer & is something of a myth becosof his arrest 2014 escape (2015),& recapture 2016
Griselda Blanco

Blanco started her life in Colombia, lived for a time in New York City, and later moved to Miami. No matter where she lived she was a major cocaine kingpin, and she earned roughly $2 billion to be one of the richest drug dealers ever before her 2012 death.
Colombian kingpin Carlos Lehder started his life of crime stealing cars and giving them to his dad’s car dealership, but you probably know him better as one of the founders of the Medellin cartel. He came up with the idea of smuggling cocaine to the United States in small,
low-flying aircraft, and his success doing it that way helped him build a $2.7 billion fortune.
Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela

With help from his brother, Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela, and a friend, Jose Santa Cruz Londono, Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela founded the Cali cartel, the other major Colombian drug cartel along with the Medellin cartel.

The Cali cartel started
trafficking marijuana before switching to cocaine. All three turned out to be some of the richest drug dealers of all time, but Gilberto leads the pack with an estimated $3 billion fortune.
Jose Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha (TIE)

Up until his death in a police raid in 1989, Jose Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha was a main player in the Medellin cartel. He reportedly helped extend the cartel’s reach from Colombia to Mexico, Houston, and Los Angeles. His efforts apparently made
him a rich man as he died with an estimated $5 billion fortune.
Khun Sa (TIE)

With nicknames like “Opium King” and “King of the Golden Triangle,” it almost goes without saying Khun Sa is one of the richest drug dealers of all time. From 1974 to 1994 he dominated the opium and heroin trade in southeast Asia, which helped him build a $5billion
empire before his 1996 capture and 2007 death
Ochoa Vasquez brothers

Drug trafficking was a family affair for Jorge Luis Ochoa Vasquez, who, along with his brothers Juan David Ochoa Vasquez and Fabio Ochoa Vasquez, was a key figure in the Medellin cartel. Jorge earned an estimated $3 billion fortune, and the three
brothers combined for about $6 billion.
Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar

Calling Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar just a drug dealer is like saying Jay Leno’s car collection has a couple nice cars. The son of an Indian police officer, Kaskar has his hand in all kinds of illegal activities including extortion, murder, terrorism, and drug
trafficking as the leader of the D-Company crime syndicate.
Christopher Coke (TIE)

After his father died, Coke took over the family drug business and built it into an empire. From his Jamaican base, he made an estimated $30 billion shipping marijuana and cocaine to the United States, according to The Telegraph.
Pablo Escobar (TIE)

This is the man you expected to see all along, right? No matter how you look at it, Pablo Escobar is one of the richest drug dealers of all time. He made anywhere between $9 and $30 billion as the head of the Medellin Cartel, but we’re going with the bigger
number and we feel safe doing so. After all, he was making $420 million each week at his peak before he died, thanks in part to using Amado Carillo Fuentes’ fleet of jets to smuggle drugs.

Rt for others to see.
With all these money, they weren't as rich as those who were legal.
