At least One Cuban Is Benefiting From Castro's Reign: Castro

According to Forbes, Fidel Castro ranks among the richest people in the world. The Forbes list has been greeted with outrage by Castro:
"Once again, they have committed the infamy of speaking about Castro's fortune, placing me almost above the queen of England," Castro said in a speech on Thursday to top officials of Cuba's ruling Communist Party, military and police.
Note that the infamy, according to Castro, is "speaking about Castro's fortune." For many in and out of Cuba, the infamy is that Castro has a fortune to be spoken about. Castro is apparently considering suing Forbes. I wonder where he will get the money for the legal fees.
