The daughter of Hugo Chavez, the former president who once declared 'being rich is bad,' may be the wealthiest woman in Venezuela, according to evidence reportedly in the hands of Venezuelan media outlets.
Maria Gabriela Chavez, 35, the late president's second-oldest daughter, holds assets in American and Andorran banks totaling almost $4.2billion, Diario las Americas reports.
The figure would make Gabriela Chavez wealthier than media mogul Gustavo Cisneros, whom Forbes named the wealthiest Venezuelan earlier this year with $3. 6 billion in assets.
Others close to Chavez managed to build up great personal wealth that was kept outside the petrostate.
Alejandro Andrade, who served as Venezuela’s treasury minister from 2007 to 2010 and was reportedly a close associate of Chavez, was discovered to have $11. 2 billion in his name sitting in HSBC accounts in Switzerland, according to documents leaked by whistleblower Hervé Falciani.
During his lifetime, Hugo Chavez denounced wealthy individuals. He famously declared 'being rich is bad' and during his lifetime railed against the wealthy for being lazy and gluttonous
'The rich don't work, they're lazy,' he railed in a speech in 2010. 'Every day they go drinking whiskey - almost every day - and drugs, cocaine, they travel.'

Btw
Where is useful idiot SEAN PENN?
Sadly, I’d guess she’s the type who will get uglier and likely fatter with age. Money prolly can’t fix that.
Of course “the rich” are anyone who has more than they have.
********************************************************************
It has always been so. I am rich because I have all I need, some are poor because they will never have enough, no matter how much money they have.
God provides for all my needs, not necessarily all I “want”.
met a youngish guy who is for Bernie Sanders (he works for a local PC support company and helped me with computer issues)....he cited Bernie’s desire for “free” college....my come back was....”well...you know what anything you get for free is WORTH, dontcha?” He had no response.
Fascinating.
Also, that she would be allowed to live in the place without anyone trying to oust her.
The rest of Hugo’s family must have something.
Even though I know evil has always been around, it’s still puzzling to me how people like that live with themselves.
Impossible.
She’s been working at Turnip Commune #43.
Prior to his divorce he would have been here. He also has a home in Malibu
Socialism pays well if you are not one of the little people.
Oliver Stone said after Hugo Chavez’ death, “I mourn a great hero to his people and those who struggle throughout the world for a place.
“Hated by the entrenched classes, Hugo Chavez will live forever in history. My friend, rest finally in a peace long earned.”
After death of Hugo Chavez-—
“Today the people of the United States lost a friend it never knew it had. And poor people around the world lost a champion,” actor Sean Penn told The Hollywood Reporter. “I lost a friend I was blessed to have.”
Sean Penn said Hugo Chavez is “one of the most important forces we’ve had on this planet.”
How’s that for “income inequality”?
Got electricity?
Got milk?
Got toilet paper?
Communism is just "Aristocracy" in disguise.
“Poor people around the world lost a champion,” actor Sean Penn said when Hugo Chavez died.
That is called cognitive dissonance. Mental condition.
It’s the PEOPLE’S money. She’s just keeping it and spending it for the people.
Wow! Thank you.
