A longtime bodyguard of the late Fidel Castro chronicled the Cuban dictator's life of luxury and ladies as the country starved, the N.Y. Post reported Sunday.
"While his people suffered, Fidel Castro lived in comfort – keeping everything, including his eight children, his many mistresses, even his wife, a secret,†former bodyguard Juan Reinaldo Sanchez wrote, per the Post, in the book "The Double Life of Fidel Castro: My 17 Years as Personal Bodyguard to El LÃder Maximo."
Castro, who had relinquished control of Cuba to his brother Raul in 2008, died Friday at age 90. Castro's death brought renewed attention to his "brutal" regime and "unimaginable suffering," as President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday.
Sanchez's exposé featured an inside look into Castro's "personal fortune offering safe haven to drug traffickers," and delving into salacious affairs with "a bevy of women" over decades and a one-time threat to execute Raul because of a bout with alcoholism in the '90s, according to the Post.
Also, Castro has survived over 600 assassination attempts, including as many as eight by the CIA, according to a USA Today report.

Castro the Multimillionaire
http://www.therealcuba.com/?page_id=74
A few years ago, Forbes magazine estimated Castro’s fortune in at least 900 million dollars. Many of those who are familiar with the dictator’s business believe that Forbes was too conservative.
The Cuban dictator runs Cuba as if it was his own farm and the 11 million poor Cubans as his slaves. Castro’s businesses include the Convention Palace (Palacio de Convenciones); CIMEX; MEDICUBA; resort hotels and much more.

Canada's PM Trudeau Praises Dictator Fidel Castro: 'Larger Than Life,' 'Remarkable Leader'
"A legendary revolutionary and orator"
Saying he felt "deep sorrow" to learn of Castro's death, Trudeau hailed the dictator as a revolutionary "larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century."
Trudeau must be getting his definition of "served" from The People's Dictionary, because Castro's brutal stranglehold over the Cuban people for half a century fits better under the definition of "oppressed."
"A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation," Trudeau continued, acknowledging him only as a "controversial figure."
"Both Mr. Castro’s supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for ‘el Comandante,'" he added.
Trudeau made these laughable comments about Castro's detractors recognizing his "tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people" shortly before Cuban immigrants began celebrating his death on the streets of Miami, because in America, you can express yourself without facing imprisonment.
Trudeau then went on to remember his first meeting with Castro shortly after his father, who served as Canadian PM between 1968 and 1984, passed away.
"I had the opportunity to meet Fidel when my father passed away," he said. "It was also a real honour to meet his three sons and his brother [current Cuban dictator] Raúl Castro during my recent visit to Cuba."
"On behalf of all Canadians, Sophie and I offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends and many, many supporters of Mr. Castro. We join the people of Cuba today in mourning the loss of this remarkable leader."
