Guess i will not be going to Cuba, dont want to make Fidel Castro richer by a few dollars more, as it is he has enough!Here's something i came accross...
Castro, one of the worlds richest rulers
Long live those fighting for the working class! But not the working class itself, forget those hapless paupers. May you reap the rewards of endless revolution in the face of capitalist pigs - and be well remunerated for your struggle.
Fidel CastroPresident, Cuba
Personal Wealth: $550 million
"Cuba's socialist dictator-for-life derives his fortune from a web of state-owned businesses. Among his profit-generating operations: El Palacio de Convenciones, a convention center near Havana; retail conglomerate CIMEX; and Medicuba, which sells vaccines and other pharmaceuticals produced in Cuba. Castro has ruled the impoverished nation of 11 million since his revolutionary army ousted Fulgencio Batista in 1959. Travels exclusively in a convoy of black Mercedes-Benzes. Sold state-owned Havana Club rum to French liquor giant Pernod Ricard for $50 million in 1993. At age 78, Castro continues to rage against the U.S. Last year he banned the use of American dollars as currency in Cuba and imposed a 10% exchange fee for tourists."
