6. Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán: $1 billion
Presumably, the biggest drug lord with superstardom having surrounded him throughout his “career”, Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán showed aspiring drug dealers how it’s done.

Prior to his arrest, Joaquín had made a mouth-watering amount of $1 billion in earnings. And along the way, he was portrayed in several Hollywood movies, references in rap songs and had other famous actor play his character in multiple televised programs.
