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.
