Mexican Drug Lord Heirs Show off Their Wealth in #Narco Instagram War
This is what it’s like to be the heir to Mexico’s powerful drug lord cartels.
Many of us use Instagram not only to update our friends about our latest getaways, or inform them of a snippet of our lives. One of the most useful and addicting feature of Instagram is that it gives us the capability to sneak a peek into the lives of celebrities, our idols or pretty much anyone we take a fancy to follow.
Due to this share-all, bare-all culture in social media, sometimes people try to post pictures to “outdo” one another. And this becomes a “tweet war” or “Insta war”.
A few months back the hashtag #Narcostyle and the IG account #narcoofficial (deleted since then) became trending due to the posts that show the extravagant lifestyle of drug cartel heirs and heiresses in Mexico. These rich, spoiled kids post confirmations of their wealth trying to outdo one another and become “Narco king”.
Generally the posts on their displays of wealth revolve around a few themes:
-
Money
-
Exotic or endangered pets
-
Luxury Cars
-
Deadly weaponry
-
Designer items
-
Women, parties and more women!
See for yourself some examples of those extravagant IG posts below!
Designer bags are expensive enough, but money spilling over those bags? Outrageous!
And there's no more room for these stacks of "blood money"
Money is just used as a blanket to keep their pet tiger warm…
Designer items, weapons and money… just a few of the staples of a Narco-grown lifestyle.
Because these rich kids need to carry their weapons in style…
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, proceed to the next page for more!
Some of the narco heirs that are most active on social media are El Chapo’s sons and daughter. El Chapo or Joaquin Guzman is the top drug lord in Mexico owning the biggest and most powerful cartel, the Sinaloa cartel. He is considered by the US government as the top drug trafficker in the world. He even has his own “army” called the Sinaloa Los Antrax, which is said to be better equipped than the Mexican armed forces. And well given their weaponry on display on IG, there is no question to it!
Because even the Mexican forces are helpless against them…
Collect expensive cars as if they were just toys…
"This is my problem in the mornings" Alfredo Guzman writes… which car to choose?
And the brothers fly their own planes and helicopters too…
A separate garage for it is also needed..
Gun black and shiny silver car contrast well together no?
Yeah seems like they have a thing for all things gold.
Just some high firepower sitting on a high powercar too.
And speaking of stuff sitting on cars, the drug lord heirs love to woo women with wealth on the next page…
Cause cartel heirs are not just all work and no play,,,
They even like their women deadly
Something like girls who can really play with big guns!
Or women with no fear of petting dangerous animals
Wheels, women and weapon = triad of Narco lifestyle
Wild women, wild parties too.
Because Narco kids only use iPhones to stir in their drinks.
But rich and powerful they may be, they are pretty secretive! See for yourself on the next page.
Yeah he blurred out his own picture so as not to strike fear in our tender hearts
Camera shy perhaps? Or keeping it private from their enemies and rival armies
The skull is the Los Antrax insignia and is known to strike fear in the hearts of Mexican people who sees it. Los Antrax is the army of the Sinaloa cartel specializing in professional killings of rivals, and defense of its masters.
Fear the skull, admire the car
Yeah we understand that anonymity is key, even if you like posing with your mountain lion pet…
Oh such cat-lovers! Just the fierce lion and tiger kind though…
He can very well scratch the Bentley.. no worries

In a country with more than half of its population living in poverty and misery because of the drug trade, it almost seem inhumane to post such senseless luxury.
What do you think of this lavish lifestyle? Sound off in the comments.
