Rich kid of Communism: Fidel Castro's model grandson flashes his wealth and love of the high life
Daily Mail ^ | January 4, 2019 | Adry Torres

Fidel Castro's grandson has been on the receiving end of negative comments after photos surfaced of the young man flaunting the family's wealth on social media.

Various South Florida-based media outlets covering the Cuban community came across Tony Castro's snaps just days before the Communist island celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, led by his grandfather who would later rule for five decades before dying in 2016.

The lives of the former Cuban leader's immediate family members have always been somewhat of a secret to the outside world.  

Tony Castro, who is in his 20s, managed to keep a low profile despite being active on Instagram.

But the Miami Herald  and other media organizations got  hold of some photos that today are only visible by his 1,300 followers.

On an island where bread, eggs and other basic foods have become scarce - an issue the current regime blames on the United States government imposed embargo - Tony Castro showed off his taste for fine liquors and foods during an uncle's birthday celebration. 

The young man shared a photo during a night out in Havana after having a meal with his mother Lissete Ulloa, and a photograph of himself behind the wheels of a BMW.

Traveling the globe and documenting it has always been at the top of his list.

Not if he had been a loyal supporter!

Fidel Castro himself, led a life of luxury few can imagine. Rather like the Eastern potentates of oriental fame, but with modern technology.

To each according to their needs. And the government is always the most needy.

They’re both more equal than others, so to speak. Extravagant spenders while everyone else is supposed to distribute, not spend.

See the not-so-istant future. Photoshop the heads BO and MO’s two daughters in the pic. The two living high on the hog from the millions of dollars stripped from the American taxpayers in numerous scams of their parents. As to The High Life - One, the older, has already begun. We’ve seen the photo and, baby, it’s real.

No different from here in America. Socialist / communist elites always live in opulence while the masses go without. Case in point with the Kenyan, he stated we needed to just tighten up our belts wile he and his brood spent some $80 million on vacations in 8 years
