To be fair, he hasn't been as greedy as most Bolivarian Presidents. Then again, it is Bolivia - the poorest SoAm country - so proportionally it could be much the same.

Dec 23rd, 2014 - 10:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0This guy with an estate value 0f less than 500,000 US dollars is pretty poor compared many others.
Dec 23rd, 2014 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is not a lot of money at all. Is this his declared wealth?
Dec 23rd, 2014 - 01:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0$500,000 is the typical value of an upper middle class hoe in the USA. And in urban areas like Boston, that is not that much at all.

Dec 23rd, 2014 - 07:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“President Morales' liquid assets rose 12.67 percent in two years,” the local Pagina Siete newspaper and Anglo MercoPress newsagency reported...”
I say...:
If he had invested his Bolivianos (BOB's) on State Guaranteed, privately insured & virtually risk free Bolivian Certificates of Deposit (CD's) of any of the many commercial banks in Bolivia... he would have got around 10.50 percent after two years...
He got whole 12.67 percent in two years...
Capitalistic vago malentretenido...!
Wait till Fidel and Pepe hear about this...
Se me vá a la cama sin postre..., se me vá :-)))

437,787 US dollars I wonder how many nine bob notes that is?
Dec 24th, 2014 - 04:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Only USD 437 thousand ?? Did the price of cocaine hit the bottom, same as many other commodities ??
Dec 24th, 2014 - 04:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe he should speak to Lula ...in 8 years the scumbag managed to amass USD 2 billion, increasing his personal assets by 13,000 times....99% of which in tax-havens and in the names of relatives. After all, he had to get 'something' out of all the recent corruption scandals.....or did only the people he appointed to top public posts become rich ??
Is it just me of does anyone else feel like sending him to a hair salon for a real styling job. Bowls are so passe'.
Dec 26th, 2014 - 04:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please, whatever you do, just don't send him to Boudou's hair stylist. ;)
