Socialism at its best

 Forbes Magazine has just published its list of the 10 richest rulers in the world.

According to the magazine Fidel Castro ranks seventh 
in the list of the richest rulers in the world, 
with a bigger fortune than the Queens of the UK and Netherlands.

Incredible how dictators can rule over their people with an iron fist, 
while the country dies a slow death in misery and extreme poverty, 
all in the name of an ideology!

The ranking is as follows:
1) Abdullah Bin Abdelaziz, King of Saudi Arabia - 21 billion US dollars;
2) Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan of Burnei - 20 billion US dollars;
3) Jalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates - 19 billion US dollars;
4) Mohamad Bin Rachid, Emir of Dubai - 14 billion US dollars;
5) Hans-Adam, Prince of Liechtenstein - 4 billion US dollars;
6) Albert II, Prince of Monaco - 1 billion US dollars;
7) Fidel Castro, Cuba - 900 million US dollars;
8) Teodoro Obiang, President of Equatorial Guinea - 600 million US dollars;
9) Elisabeth II, Queen of UK - 500 million US dollars;
10) Queen Beatrix (now perhaps King Willem Alexander), of the Netherlands - 
270 million US dollars

So much for the ideology of Socialism - Communism
