It Just Doesn't Look Good When a Dictator Makes the Forbes 400
by Joe Pulcinella
Fidel Castro is considering suing Forbes over his inclusion high on the list of the world's richest leaders, tyrants, despots and dictators.
HAVANA, Cuba (Reuters) -- Cuban President Fidel Castro has criticized Forbes magazine for the "infamy" of listing him among the world's richest people, with a net worth of $550 million.
Apparently, being a dictator is very lucrative.
The magazine said Castro derived his fortune from a web of state-owned companies that include retail conglomerate CIMEX, pharmaceutical company Medicuba and a convention center near Havana.
Ever wonder what the IMF and the World Bank do with all your money? Hmm...
