Default Forbes Magazine claims Castro is worth $900 Million

This is actually pretty funny...Castro is all indinant about being accused of being loaded.

I agree with the assessment that there is an axis of evil in the New World: Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia. We need to cut off all diplomatic ties with Bolivia. As for Castro, he is a mass murderer who deserves no sympathy.

Well, my views have changed a lot since I first joined the site. At any rate, I never had a high opinion of Castro.

Like most communist/socialist/dictatorial regimes, there are always rich people. They are just far more concentrated. Despite their claims of the evil of money.

I'm sure he does have $900 million. Cuba does trade with the rest of the world and nearly everything is state run. Makes sense.

The best part is that he says he'll step down if Forbes can prove it.
I hope his people are listening. They should hold him to it.

Maybe Forbes can indeed prove it. But either way, he can only live so long.

I doubt Forbes has access to Castro's personal financial records. But I have no doubt they are hostile to his politics.
