Forbes magazine recently came out with its usual "richest people in the world" list, but this year the list included Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.According to Forbes, Guzman has amassed a billion-dollar fortune by becoming the United States' foremost drug supplier. Guzman is head of the Sinaloa cartel. Ironically, Guzman is one of the world's ten most wanted criminals. The U.S. has placed a $5 million bounty on his head.
Guzman was arrested in 1993 in drug and murder charges, but escaped in 2001 in a laundry truck and remains at large.
Perhaps it's time for politicians to readdress their war on drugs? Because somewhere the 701 richest person in the world is framing the most recent copy of Forbes.
