In
its May 5, 2006 article, "Fortunes Of Kings, Queens And Dictators," Forbes
put Castro in 7th place in a group of 10 world leaders with "lofty
positions and vast fortunes." The magazine estimated Castro's
personal wealth to be $900 million nearly double that of the $500
million of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and just under Prince Albert
II of
Monaco's estimated $1 billion. |
