Reuters AlertNet - Mexico drug lord on Forbes rich list with $1 bln

MEXICO CITY, March 11 (Reuters) - Mexico's most wanted man Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, blamed for thousands of deaths in a drug war, has made it onto the Forbes Magazine list of the world's richest people with an estimated $1 billion fortune.

Guzman, who is just 5 feet tall (1.55 metres), escaped from prison in 2001 to set off a wave of killings across Mexico in an attempt to dominate the country's highly lucrative drug trade into the United States.

"He is not available for interviews," Luisa Kroll, senior editor of Forbes, said on Wednesday. "But his financial situation is doing quite well."

I can not believe they would actually include a murderous druglord :roll:

It is about the money not what they do for the money.

nobody would be the wiser if they left him off and it kind of sends a bad message, although i do not think too many impressionable kids are reading Forbes
