          Google it. “Fidel Castro wealth” search turns up with various claims ranging from a net worth of 100 million to “more than 900 million $”. And that’s just a small part of what he had access to.

          When you are the sole and absolute ruler of a country, you have access to all the wealth of the state and its people (which are fucking poor) and have little to no accountability.

          .Do you really think he was as poor as all the other people of Cuba?

            Oh yeah, the famous Forbes claims of Castro being rich because “he had control of the state in a communist country where the means of production belonged to the state”. No reference to his frugal lifestyle, no serious data backing up the claim other than “YOLO”. The fact that he could conceivably and potentially have access to certain goods or services that other people didn’t have access too, and an assumption from Forbes that he did access them and “died a multi-millionaire”, tells us more about Forbes and the writer than about Fidel.
