Who is Kristina Sunshine Jung?

Kristina Sunshine Jung is an entrepreneur and self-proclaimed poet, but also known for being the daughter of notorious drug lord, George Jung. Kristina rose to fame when she starred in the movie “Blow”, which talked about her father’s criminal days as a drug smuggler and addict. Her father was a close associate of Pablo Escobar, who was perhaps the most notorious drug mogul in the late 20^th century, head of the Medellin cartel.

Early Life and Family

Kristina was born on 1 August 1978 to Mirtha George Jung – both her parents were drug addicts, and involved in smuggling drugs into the US, so Kristina had a very difficult childhood given her parents’ life choices and careers. George smuggled huge amounts of cocaine into the US, so he was never able to stay away from them, which led to him being arrested multiple times.

Even after getting his first child, George continued with his drug smuggling business and was always in trouble with the law. Her mother was also jailed several times, even after her daughter’s birth, although managing to stop when Kristina was three years old.

In 1984 when Kristina was only six years old, her parents separated and filed for divorce, and Kristina was thus separated from her father as she went to live with Mirtha, so never got a chance to know him well. George was said to be responsible for around 85% of all the drugs that got smuggled into the US in the ‘70s and 80s, and it could be due to such bad reputation that her mother decided to get a divorce.

Kristina was brought up by her grandparents, Fredrick and Ermine Jung, who took her to school and took care of all her needs, however, they passed away when Kristina was still young, and er father’s sister, aunt Marie Jung took care of Kristina until she was 18 years old. There is no information about her education although she isassumed to have matriculated in 1996.
