Mexican Drug Lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán, Makes Forbes 'The World's Most Powerful People' List, But Mexican President Does Not

Forbes Puts Mexican Drug Lord On 'Most Powerful' List


It seems reputed drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán has gotten the best of Felipe Calderón again - this time, cracking the list of the world's most powerful people while the Mexican president missed the cut.

The billionaire leader of the Sinaloa cartel was named the 55th most powerful on the planet by Forbes magazine, which annually compiles the list. Calderón was on the outside looking in - even though his Brazilian counterpart, Dilma Rousseff, and the world's richest man and his countryman, Carlos Slim, made the list.
