Lifestyle of a druglord

A look into the lifestyle of a Mexican druglord. Some highlights include

- "The three-story house is like Hansel and Gretel meets Pablo Escobar, replete with gingerbread-like carvings featuring Christian and Buddhist figures, goats, fish and other animals. The grounds are a labyrinth of garden trails among man-made ponds fed by waterfalls. The compound also has stables, a suit of armor and a disco with stripper pole.

Some of the traffickers were caught in a cave-like underground hot-tub complex about the size of a backyard swimming pool, featuring faux stalactites and a fireplace. A glass skylight allowed bathers to gaze up at lions or a pair of albino tigers that dwelled in a cage on the roof."

- "Police at the scene said the neighbors apparently never complained about the lions' roars, perhaps because they thought better of tangling with the big cats' owners."

- "Inside his home, investigators found $205 million in cash hidden in a secret room hidden behind Mr. Ye's dressing-room mirror."
