Being the ex-President's daughter pays off: Hugo Chavez's ambassador daughter is Venezuela's richest woman
Diario las Americas claims that Maria Gabriela Chavez, 35, has $4.2billion in assets held in American and Andorran banks
Hugo Chavez famously declared 'being rich is bad' and during his lifetime railed against the wealthy for being lazy and gluttonous
Efforts to determine Chavez's wealth have been made before, without much luck.

Same honestly. With all the oil Venezuela has, I figured his family had more.

That is over 10% of their tax revenue in 2005 (they don't seem to have disclosed that statistic since then).

Hypocrites.

that's one ugly rich chick. it's hard to compensate with dna that is that defective.

Communist party apparatchiks rarely, if ever, join the ranks of the "common man" when it comes to wealth.

Vin Scully goes off.

First political commentary I've ever heard from Scully, and I've listened to him a lot over the years.

As with just about everything else, he's spot on here.

His last year, so I hope he does it some more.

It's always like that with socialism or communism. There are a few rich and powerful at the top and everyone else is poor and starving.

Contrast that with capitalism, where at least the average Joe has the opportunity to improve his situation.

he's as solid as they come....

he's also happy he exits in the not to distant future as well....

now you understand my passion for line 2 in sig.....Vin is one of the best.....I always loved his broadcasts against my StL boys (I like to tune into the opposing team just to give a shout at )

he is one of my faves....he's 88 and finally got to say what he's learned/understood all along the way....

that's what this board is all about....however, we are anonymous as we toss out tid bits.....that is what took him so long to make that statement in specifics...

regardless, it won't mean dick....I'm just happy he said it.....

while I agree with that posit, as this cuntry progresses, the average joe and those with are going to go to battle....

the stock market moving forward is getting ready to find out how socialism and your 401k/roth can move in tandem as the clock tick tocks...

as the boomers die off and we continually evolve as a service based economy, I only see cysts for the money sector....

I hope she dies a horrible suffering death.

Speaking of Venezuela, here is a video of an armed robber getting dropped by the potential victim. Very smart.

Yeah, when I first heard this I was floored because I've never heard Scully go political.

The absolute best in the business. He's leaving a huge hole with nobody to fill it when he retires after this season.
