Howard Marks (born Dennis Howard Marks on 13 August 1945) is a Welsh former drug smuggler turned author, who achieved notoriety as an international cannabis smuggler through high-profile court cases. At his peak he was supposedly smuggling consignments of the drug as large as 30 tons, and was connected with groups as diverse as the CIA, the IRA, MI6, and the Mafia. He was eventually convicted by the American Drug Enforcement Administration and handed a 25-year sentence to be served at Terre Haute; he was released in April 1995 after serving seven years. Though he had up to 43 different aliases, he became known as Mr Nice, after he bought a passport from convicted murderer Donald Nice.
Marks was born in Kenfig Hill, near Bridgend, Wales, the son of Dennis Mark, a captain in the Merchant Navy, and Edna, a teacher. He has stated that his earliest memory is of throwing his father's ship's cat into the Indian Ocean; he also stated that that memory haunted him for the rest of his life, and that he was so young at the time that he had expected the cat to catch fish and then swim back to the ship. Brought up as a Baptist, he later turned to Buddhism, though he did not become a devout follower. He attended the Garw Grammar school in Pontycymer. He is a fluent Welsh speaker.
Warren Buffett said "When I see memos from Howard Marks in my mail, they're the first thing I open and read." Howard is the Co-Chairman of Oaktree Capital Management. He is known in the investment community for his "Oaktree memos" to clients which detail investment strategies and insight into the economy. He treats investing as equal parts psychology and finance, and his book The Most Important Thing provides "uncommon sense for the thoughtful investor."

Der fünfundsechzigjährige Waliser Howard Marks hat sich die Lorbeeren des weltgrößten Marihuana-Dealers redlich verdient. Nach eigenen Angaben kontrolliert der Gras-Papst zu seinen besten Zeiten zehn Prozent des weltweiten Marihuana-Marktes -- das sind etwa dreißig Tonnen Cannabis und Haschisch. Diese Spitzenleistung beschert ihm ab 1988 sieben Jahre All inclusive-Urlaub in Amerikas härtestem Knast. In seiner zwanzigjährigen Dealer-Laufbahn soll Howard unter dreiundvierzig verschiedenen Identitäten auf dem gesamten Erdball unterwegs gewesen sein. Er verhandelt mit IRA-Aktivist James McCann oder dem Palestinenser Abou Hassan, pflegt jedoch gleichzeitig sein „Super-Daddy von nebenan"-Image. Howards Werdegang ist nicht gerade typisch für ein walisisches Arbeiterkind. Er ist ein he...
