Fidel Castro was a famous Cuban communist revolutionary and politician who had a net worth of $900 million at the time of his death in 2016. Fidel was never happy to hear reports of his oversized fortune. However, in recent years, it has been claimed that he controlled commercial enterprises and had secret bank accounts all over the world, potentially making his personal assets worth several billion dollars today.

Key facts:

Fidel Castro served as The First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba for 45 years, as Prime Minister of Cuba for 17 years, and as the President of the Council of State of Cuba and the President of Council of Ministers of Cuba for 32 years.

Castro staged and led the Cuban Revolution which ousted Batista in 1959 and also brought his own assumption of military and political power as Cuba's Prime Minister.

Castro aligned with the Soviet Union and allowed the Soviets to place nuclear weapons in Cuba, resulting in the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Castro's leadership of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1979 to 1983 increased Cuba's profile on the world stage.

Castro was married to Mirta Diaz Balart from 1948 until their divorce in 1955. He had an affair with Natalia 'Naty' Revuelta Clews, who gave birth to his daughter Alina Fernandez Revuelta. He was married to Dalia Soto del Valle from 198 until the time of his death in 2016.
