MikesVikes Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo the President of Equatorial Guinea. Forbes magazine has said that he is one of the wealthiest heads of state, with a net worth of 600 million dollars. Official sources have complained that Forbes is wrongly counting state property as personal property. In July 2003, state-operated radio declared Obiang to be a god who is "in permanent contact with the Almighty" and "can decide to kill without anyone calling him to account and without going to hell." He personally made similar comments in 1993. Despite these comments, he still claims that he is a devout Catholic and was invited to the Vatican by John Paul II and again by Benedict XVI Some government watchdog didn't like it when his son commisioined a 380 million dollar yacht. 380 million is three times more than his government spends on education and health care combined. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teodoro_Obiang_Nguema_Mbasogo Edited March 1, 2011 by MikesVikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
