Mexican Drug Cartel Leader Makes Forbes' Most Powerful People In The World List
Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who authorities say heads the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, is believed to have shipped $6 billion to $19 billion in cocaine to the United States over the past eight years, Forbes says in the listing.
The magazine ranks him No. 41, ahead of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (No. 43), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (46), French President Nicolas Sarkozy (56) and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (67). Guzman also bested U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts (49) and entertainer Oprah Winfrey (45) on the list, released Wednesday.
The designation marks the second time Forbes has named Guzman to one of its lists. Forbes classified him in March as one of the wealthiest people in the world, ranking him No. 701 with a net worth of $1 billion.
Guzman was not the first narcotrafficker named to the Forbes most-wealthy list. The magazine placed Colombian cocaine king Pablo Escobar on the list in 1989.
Guzman, known as "El Chapo" or "Shorty," is under indictment in Illinois on cocaine trafficking charges. U.S. officials have offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture.
He was arrested in 1993 on homicide and drug charges but escaped in 2001, reportedly by bribing prison guards to smuggle him out in a laundry truck. A Mexican federal investigation led to the arrest of more than 70 prison officials.
Forbes notes that Guzman's fortune was self-made. His age is given as 52 or 54.
The Sinaloa Cartel, named after the Mexican Pacific Coast state where the gang was formed, is one of the most powerful drug-trafficking groups in the nation.

out of all replies in this post i like JJ POST THE MOST BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE TO GRASP REALITY OF THE DRUG WAR LOTS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE GET KILLED OVER MISTAKEN IDENTITY AND OVER DRUGS AND OVER ASSUMPTIONS.LOOK THERE IS NO GOOD FROM DRUGS PERIOD ALOT OF PPL GET RICH AND HIGH GOVERNMENT CARTEL OR NOT. THEN ALOT OF PPL DIE FROM THE SAME DRUGS AND MONEY MADE FROM THE PROFIT AND INNOCENT PPL. THIS DRUG THING GOES REAL DEEP. BECAUSE JUST FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET OR BEING SEEN WITH CERTAIN PPL OR IF A PERSON FEEL YOU VIOLATING THEM THINGS COULD GO WRONG. IVE SEEN GUYS WHOLE FAMILIES GET KILLED BECAUSE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY OR RATTING ON THEY HOMEBOYS. I MEAN MEXICA USA IRAQ ASIA AFRICA IT DONT MATTER WHERE THE DRUGS COME FROM OR GO. WHEN MONEY ENTER THE PICTURE ALOT OF PPL DIE INNOCENT OR NOT. I MEAN ITS COOL TO BE RICH AND HAVE IT ALL BUT ONCE CERTAIN PPL FEEL PLAYED THEN PPL DIE. PEOPLE GLORIFY THIS S*** BUT ITS ALOT OF STRESS. I MEAN HONESTLY WOULD ANY OF YOU WANT TO BE SURROUNDED BUY GUNS DRUGS INFORMANTS GANGS CARTELS DODGING FBI CIA FEDZ AND HAVING TO PAY THEM OFF AND WORK WITH THEM JUST TO KEEP YOUR OPERATION GOING. SEE DRUGS IS A BIG BUSINESS ALOT OF DRUGS MAKE IT INTO TREATMENTS FOR DISEASE. SO THATS THE PLUS SIDE BUT THE BAD SIDE IS PEOPLE STILL DIE ON ALL SIDES ITS NOT A POSITIVE ANYWAY YOU LOOK AT IT. YOU CAN GET IN MAKE ALOT OF MONEY BUT ONCE IT GOES BAD YOU WILL WISH YOU WAS NEVER IN IT AT ALL.IVE SEEN THE BEST OF THE DRUG TRADE AND THE WORST OF IT. AND HONESTLY I CAN TELL YOU IT AINT WORTH ALL THE STRESS THAT COME WITH IT.
