Fidel Castro conflict
In 2005, Forbes listed Fidel Castro among the world's richest people, with an estimated net worth of $550 million USD. In the 2006 article "Fortunes Of Kings, Queens And Dictators", Forbes increased their estimate to $900 million USD.[12] The article notes that estimating net worth for government leaders is "more art than science", and points out that in the case of Castro the authors used a discounted cash flow method for several state-owned companies, and assumed a portion of that profit stream went to Castro.
Castro responded that he has a net worth of less than $1 USD, and challenged any one to prove that he has any money in overseas accounts.[13] Castro also stated that Forbes should place a bucket over their head.[14]
