Griselda Blanco dubbed the cocaine Godmother, was the queenpin among kingpins in the Colombian Medellin drug cartel of the 70s and 80s.
The woman may have had a cute dimple in her chin and once bore a passing resemblance to Betty Boop – but that did not hide her monstrous tendencies.
Heading a near-unrivalled campaign of violence, she was a trailblazer for women entrepreneurs the world over – for all the worst reasons, the Mirror reports.
A forerunner and rival to Pablo Escobar, the three-times married mother-of-four boasted a Malibu mansion, a bronze sculpture of herself, a tea-set once owned by the Queen and a gold-plated sub-machine gun embedded with emeralds.
She had killer style and is said to have raked in £60million a month at her peak – landing her a £1.5billion fortune, surely making her the first female billionaire drug boss.
A lust for murder, the bloodier the better, was key to her success.
Some say she had 200 deaths to her name. Others estimate up to 2,000.
