Oh Mark... we can always count on you for idiotic posts .
Yeah, because having a party in a democracy in charge for a long time (12 years at most!) is the same as being a dictator for 50 years?
Castro is just mad that someone found out that he's a rich stinking bastard.

How well does Castro live compared to other people in the world? other Cubans?
“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
I wouldn't be surprised if he was quite wealthy, but the methodology for calculating his wealth seems highly suspect as best. Previously - basing it on a certain percentage of Cuban GDP??? Now - assuming he owns some companies, and then comparitively valuing those companies against other companies that are publically traded??? WTF?

Well, when you are a totalitarian dictator, you ulitimately own all state run corporations. I mean during the old USSR era, it wasn't like the Communist Party bosses in the Soviet Union were living like the ordinary people.

Using that parameter, I'm sure his net worth would be much higher than $550 million based on their valuation techiniques. Which is why I find the whole thing to be pie-in-the-sky crap.

Then how would you decide his wealth? I'm sure he won't let you look at his bank accounts.

I wouldn't bother - I'd just say it's indeterminable rather than throwing out a crap number that seems to be for little else than getting the hackles up of both Fidel Castro and the west in general.

The best part about this is he's considering suing Forbes.
