#2 Amado Carrillo Fuentes – $25 billion
A hugely ambitious Mexican drug lord, Amado Carrillo Fuentes assassinated his boss Rafael Aguilar Guajardo in 1993 and took control of the powerful Juarez drug cartel. Wanted by the police in both Mexico and the US, in 1997 he had facial plastic surgery and abdominal liposuction in an endeavor to change his appearance, but died on the operating table. It is believed that the doctors who had operated on him were assassinated after being tortured. In spite of conspiracy theories that his death was faked, his fingerprints were matched to an old US immigration card he held. At least $10 billion of his assets were frozen by the authorities after he died.
