Escobar
Escobar functions as shorthand for Pablo Escobar, the Colombian drug lord who became one of the wealthiest criminals in history before his death in 1993.
The name evokes extreme wealth from illegal enterprise, ruthlessness, and narco-culture: He thinks he's Escobar just because he moved some pills.
In hip-hop and street slang, Escobar connotes kingpin status and lavish criminality.
