There are/have been several films recently made about the life of Pablo Escobar.
You may read more about them on the Wikipedia article above.  
You may also watch a 2002 documentary The True Story of Killing Pablo (History Channel)
It was available on Youtube before, but it has since been taken down. You may want to check again.

Pablo Escobar - King of Cocaine (Discovery Times)

This documentary talks more about his "Good works" for the poor of Medellin.

By the way, if you BeLIEve Colombia is dangerous, maybe you should watch this video:

Colombia, would you take the risk?

 
...and if you visit, then you would know the media portrayal, COMmon BeLIEf is incorrect.
But...this video is too positive. Counter balance to the overwheming negativity though.

Business (wo)man Philanthropist

A wealthy person brings light by their CONtributions to charities or "non-profit" establishments.
But how did they obtain their wealth? And are their donations a thinly veiled (If at all) attempt to glorify
themselves? How do they treat those who disagree with them?

Someone you know or admire?

CONniving their way to riches with trickery, lies, and CONfidentiality agreements, carefully worded legaLIZed CONtracts,
 Using their CONfidence to build CONglomerates and CONquer others by corporate M&A and buyouts.
Among other "good DEeds"

They think their clever by appropriating tactics from Asia ---- Art of War by Sun Tzu

Sorry...wrong ROLE model. Didnīt you know, you just want to be a GOOD model.

Legacies

When I was a child, I remember thinking to myself that when I died I wanted to be remembered for something.
As the years rolled by, I often questioned this motive. And I realized it was borne out of ego. I didnīt fully understand the danger of ego / pride back then as I do now. As I experienced and traveled more I began to see how pride manifests itself in different ways -- though I donīt recall if I ever labeled it as pride.

"I'm exceedingly proud and thankful that this has been accomplished; this is opening the land of promise, like the land of Canaan," he said at the opening of the Robert C. Byrd BioTechnology Science Center at Marshall State University. ---- apparently Mr.Byrd doesnīt know much about Lucifer!

Politicians like seeing their names on buildings while getting you to pay for it. It's an ego boost that makes them feel important.
And when it comes to feeding politicians' enormous egos, it seems they can never get enough.

...and that is one reason it is called a CONgress!
