It's always quite fascinating to learn of the utter hypocrisy, avarice and greed of those whose purported philosophy of accumulated wealth of others is one they consider an anathema, considered an act of immorality to have been amassed by the exploitation of the masses, money made on the backs of poor peasants, who receive little in return while such landowners in Venezuela live like kings off the sweat, hard work of the poor locals.

Chavez was a champion of the poor by expropriating land from rich people that had been in the family for decades,centuries, acquired legitimately yet was forcibly taken away because Chavez's considered it morally repugnant or so he claimed.

Well, now that the news that Chavez was worth $1 Billion changes everything about Chavez as crusader for the poor in his antipathy towards those he considered exploiters, crooks, opportunists otherwise known as rich people. Chavez had no problem usurping other people's money but as far as his stash was concerned that was considered sacrosanct.

Every year, Forbes Magazine reports the net worth of the failed baseball player, the quintessential robber baron, Mr. Cohiba himself, to have a net worth in excess of $600 million which of course enrages the Communist Castro and his cash cache to no end in a yearly histrionic denial of having any such thing. But if Chavez net worth teaches us anything it is that Forbes is much closr to the truth than Castro could ever be.
