40 Random Bits of Trivia You Didn’t Know You Needed to Know

Pablo Escobar is history’s wealthiest criminal. His estimated net worth would fall around $59 billion as of 2019. Apparently, during Escobar’s heyday, he was spending $2,500 a month on rubber bands to properly contain the exorbitant amount of money he was making. Talk about rich! This fun factlet comes from Escobar’s brother, Roberto.

Here’s a quote from Roberto himself regarding his brother’s opulent riches: “Pablo was earning so much that each year we would write off 10% of the money because the rats would eat it in storage or it would be damaged by water or lost.” That’s a whole lot of cheddar.
