Castro enraged by Forbes
Cuban President Fidel Castro has again challenged the U.S. magazine Forbes to prove the allegations that he has personal bank accounts abroad, during this month's second TV appearance in Havana on Wednesday.

An article in the May edition of the Forbes magazine asserted Castro's personal wealth is worth 900 million U.S. dollars, listing him as the seventh wealthiest ruler in the world in its annual tally.

In a first TV appearance on May 15, Castro brandished a copy of the magazine to tell the Cubans the story about his personal wealth is a "repugnant slander" by a capitalist publication.

"If they can prove that I have a bank account abroad, with 900 million dollars, with 1 million dollars, 500,000 dollars, 100,000 dollars or 1 dollar in it, I will resign," he said.

Castro said his net worth is zero and that he earns only 900 Cuban pesos (40 dollars) a month, stressing that he would step down if the U.S. publication could prove its assertion.
