Would you mind posting an excerpt of Forbes methodology? My browser crashes when I hit the link on the page.
From memory I seem to recall that they exclude political figures.
For example, it's widely known that Putin is worth at least 20bil from his well hidden gasprom assets but he isn't on there either.
They also used to exclude Khaddafi and he was worth huge amounts. Same rationale.
Perhaps this has changed but if you could paste the methodology up for us it would put the question of Chavez even being considered for the list to bed.

Thanks in advance.
Exactly every now and then they'll have a head of state list. Queen Elizabeth is a billionaire and she's not on the list.
I don't imagine Forbes is counting monies illegally obtained from drug cartels to allow cocaine to flow through Venezuela's borders in the equation. Caracas is the most dangerous city in the world outside a designated war zone because of all the trafficking taking place there.
Conservative media is claiming Chavez had a net worth of 2 billion, yet according to Forbes magazine, its a lie
He didn't take it with him, though.
