Pablo managed to bag himself one of oPorsche 911 RSR’s, with his model being the one previously owned and raced by legendary Formula 1 racer Emmerson Fittipaldi. As the riches of being the world’s largest drug lord rolled in, Escobar transitioned to the next levels of racing royalty!
His passion for speed was honed during his days racing in Colombia’s Copa Renault 4 circuit.
One of Pablo Escobar’s greatest passions was for cars – whilst he had a massive collection, arguably his most impressive was his 1973 Porsche 911 RSR. With that said, it’s time to jump into this Kingpin’s collection of riches – are you ready? Lets go…. Here at Watch & Bullion, we’ve covered Gangster Watch Collections in the past but we believe Pablo Escobar deserves an article all of his own. Now collectors items in their own right, his luxury legacy extends as far as his criminal one. Not satisfied with the off the shelf pieces, Pablo was known for his custom made luxuries that often veered on the side of extravagance. Despite this Robin Hood-esque appearance, Escobar like to spend his wealth lavishly on, among other things, luxury watches. At the height of his wealth, Escobar was known for investing money back into the community, building houses and community areas for those less fortunate. Known commonly throughout his native Columbia as the ‘King of Cocaine,’ by the mid 1980’s Escobar was believed to be one of the richest men in the world with a net worth in the region of $30 billion.Īlthough seen as a villain by many, for those from his hometown of Medellin, he is considered a saint.
The most infamous criminal in history, Pablo Escobar struck equal fear and envy into the watching world as the head of the deadliest criminal gang of all time, the Medellin Drug Cartel.
