Pablo Escobar was the cartel drug lord with the reputation as "The King of Cocaine" who partnered with Jack Carlton Reed to provide drugs to the United States in the 20th Century.
Jack Carlton Reed, (September 30, 1930  October 12, 2009) was a drug smuggler and co-defendant of the Colombian drug baron and Medelln Cartel co-founder Carlos Enrique Lehder Rivas'. 
 Reed flew drug runs for Lehder, who handled transport and distribution, while Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar handled production and supply. 
 His cartel supplied an estimated 80% of the cocaine smuggled into the United States at the height of his career, turning over US $21.9 billion a year in personal income. 
 He was often called "The King of Cocaine" and was the wealthiest criminal in history, with an estimated known net worth of US $30 billion by the early 1990s (equivalent to about $ billion as of 2016 ), making him one of the richest men in the world in his prime.
