I've noticed that the life these guys live it's not very glamorous. Most end up living in Huts in the jungle with snakes and spiders and God knows what else.

Why then is it worth it to become a cartel boss? Living out your days like this?

Are demands expected to not be filled just because they might end up living in a jungle?

The Mexican bosses have mansions and estates all over the place protected by private armies. Airplanes a fleet of Toyotas, Landcruisers etc..

Then explain why the boss in Colombia was found living in a man made hut with dirt floors? He had been there for years.

How do you know he never ever left? Many people think that Matteo Messina Denaro never left Sicily yet there's traces of his presence in several other countries.

If the authorities are very serious about getting a boss he has to flee or lay low but most live a luxurious lifestyle.

I'm sorry, but if a boss is on the run for years, especially decades, I have a very hard time believing that they spend the entire time in their bunkers or huts or whatever. Even if that's where they're found.

The bosses have the support of the local people, they know they are bad people but they help the poor.

If anyone has any photos of these bosses mansions please feel free to share. It would be interesting to see them.

Most famous was Pablo's estate Hacienda Nápoles

(Spanish for "Naples Estate") was the luxurious estate built and owned by Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar in Puerto Triunfo, Antioquia Department, Colombia, approximately 150 km (93 mi) east of Medellín and 249 km (155 mi) northwest of Bogotá. The estate covers about 20 km2 (7.7 sq mi) of land. Following Escobar's death in 1993, many of the original buildings on the property were demolished or reconditioned for other uses.

The estate included a Spanish colonial house, a sculpture park, and a complete zoo that included many kinds of animals from different continents such as antelope, elephants, exotic birds, giraffes, hippopotamuses, ostriches, and ponies. The ranch also boasted a large collection of old and luxury cars and bikes, a private airport, a brothel, and even a Formula 1-racing track. Mounted atop the hacienda's entrance gate is a replica of the Piper PA-18 Super Cub airplane (tail number HK-617-P).[1]

You mean "most powerful crime bosses in general"?

Simple answer: Their hunters are more powerful.

The cartel bosses enjoy their money until the LE didnt decide to arrest them.
Messina Denaro lived in his town until get the cancer and most live the safe place for his health cares and was caught by the police, El mayo zambada the sinaloa boss with El chapo hide in camper tent to escape from american drones.
Most mexican narcos that are in US prison must hide and let the luxury homes for bunkers.
