First - why on earth would they list someone like him
Second - how on earth do they know how much money he has?

Thats awesome. That really means that theres hope for us all.

If he can make the Forbes list, then almost anyone can!

Maybe he launders his money through the magazine?

I wonder how he's enjoying this money

"Mexico's most wanted man, "El Chapo", or Shorty, heads the Sinaloa cartel, one of the biggest suppliers of Cocaine to the U.S. In 1993 was arrested in Mexico on homicide and drug charges. Escaped from federal prison in 2001, reportedly through the laundry, and quickly regained control of his drug trafficking organization, which he still controls today. In 2008 Mexican and Colombian traffickers laundered between $18 billion and $39 billion in proceeds from wholesale shipments to the U.S. Shorty, an alleged tunnels expert, is believed to have directed anywhere from a third to half of that during the past 8 years. Apparently started out working with Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, "El Padrino", or the Godfather, head of the most powerful drug trafficking group in Mexico at that time. U.S. government is offering a $5 million reward for his capture"

It says he escaped from jail...rather easily too it seems. I bet hes having a blast rolling around in cocaine, cash and south american cigars.

Yeah, his life is hell.

Forbes has done this before. Pablo Escobar was another drug lord listed.

He's probably a Mexican government official on the side.
