March 5, 1965 - Liu Zhaohua
His operation placed him among the largest methamphetamine producers ever documented, with estimates of his total output ranging from 12 to 31 tonnes — figures that translate into a street value exceeding five and a half billion dollars. The scale of production suggests not a street-level trafficker but a sophisticated manufacturing enterprise capable of sustaining output over years before his arrest.
From Wikipedia
Liu Zhaohua (Chinese: 刘招华; 5 March 1965 – 15 September 2009) was a Chinese drug lord known for producing and trafficking 12–31 tonnes of methamphetamine. The amount Liu made was worth more than US$5.5 billion. This made Liu one of the biggest drug lords in China. A reward of RMB200,000 (around US$24,160) was offered for information leading to his arrest.
Liu was arrested on 5 March 2005, sentenced to death on 26 June 2006, and executed on 15 September 2009.
