Juan Almeida(III)

IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
The seventies and eighties were a pivotal time in South Florida's history. America's love affair with recreational drugs paired with South Florida's proximity and accessibility to Latin America and the Caribbean create optimal conditions for being dubbed a smuggler's paradise. It is no wonder that Miami became a gateway for, and subsequently the capital of the drug underworld in America. An overabundance of money with minimal desire for the traditional norms created a unique culture and displays of excess on the streets of Miami.

Who better to capitalize on this than Juan Almeida? His family's wealth coupled with his talent and formal education afforded him opportunities, access, and insight that many of his contemporaries could only dream of. He was easily able to transition his passion for cars into successful businesses. He bought and sold the most sought-after exotic automobiles that included Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Aston Martins. His stable of distinguished automobiles was soon overshadowed by his venture into powerboat and aircraft sales.

While still in his 20s & early 30s, Juan's endeavors exposed him to an enviable lifestyle of luxury and excess. This niche market of super-exclusive merchandise exposed Juan to celebrities as much as it increased his visibility among nefarious characters who sought to use these items equally as tools and toys.

Iconic Fort Apache Marina became the hangout for A-listers from all walks of life. Cigarette boats and super yachts dotted the marina's dock year-round. Hooligans bikini contests became world renown and throughout Juan helmed thriving and bustling enterprises that would define the essence of South Florida.

Lifetime friendships are forged during times of shared decadence. Juan's charismatic personality was amplified by his friendships with Tarzan and Tony. Their adventures and misadventures became the topic of Miami folklore and urban myth. Together, they became the legendary Cartel Kings.
