IF El Chapo was alive How much $BTC will he have🤑?
1. How much money did El Chapo have🤔?
• At the time of his arrest (2016), estimates of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s fortune ranged between $1–$3 billion USD💵, though a lot of it was tied up in assets, not cash.
• For simplicity, let’s assume $1 billion liquid cash💸 was invested into Bitcoin🪙
2. Bitcoin price in 2016 (El Chapo’s arrest year)
• Around $400–$700 per BTC (let’s take an average of $600 per BTC
3. How many Bitcoins would $1 billion buy in 2016👀?
1,000,000,000 / 600 = 1,666,667🤑
Value today (August 2025)
• Bitcoin is trading around $ 112,000 per BTC.
El Chapo would have bought about 1,666,667 BTC in 2016 with $1B.
• Today, that stash would be worth roughly $186.7 billion💰.
That would make him richer than Jeff Bezos and nearly on par with Elon Musk’s net worth🤯
