10. Sandra Avila Beltran
Griselda Blanco was known as the Cocaine Godmother, so confident in her empire that she ordered men dead with little thought. There was perhaps one woman just as ruthless and powerful as Blanco. Her name was Sandra Avila Beltran. She frequently went by the name The Queen of the Pacific.
Beltran did have one thing working to her advantage. She was raised knowing the ins and outs of this gritty business. She also had a glamorous flair to her, always sporting the flashiest shoes or gaudiest clothing she could find. Fellow drug lords adored her, which of course led to some wild flings. It was not until Beltran was almost 50 years-old that she was at last found out and arrested. Officials confiscated nine tons of cocaine linked to her, headed from Mexico to the US.
