| Forbes: Arafat worth at least $300m. |
Just noticed it on Gil’s weblog - Forbes magazine’s list of the world richest people got a new category reserved for kings, queens, and despots. And guess who made it there this year? Arafat!
While the Palestinian people are struggling to live, seems the support money from Europe finds it’s way to other places. Arafat is worth at least $300 million! No curroption? Yea, right, just like the PA is not funding Terrorism with European money. Dream on.
In addition, the Forbes only tryed to be on safe grounds when saying $300 million. Here is a snip out of the Jerusalem Post Article:
- The Forbes figure is modest in comparison to other estimates of Arafat’s riches. In a briefing delivered last August to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, OC Intelligence Maj.-Gen. Aharon (Farkash) Ze’evi reported his net worth at $1.3b. In 1990, the CIA reportedly estimated that Arafat and the PLO had between $8b. and $14b. worth of assets at their disposal. In 1995, the US General Accounting Office compiled a report on Arafat’s finances, but it was kept secret due to “national security interests.”
I knew the man is on the take, I just never thought he’s that big money.
I wonder what the avg. palestinian is going to think about this.

My guess, is that there will be three reactions. I wonder what percentage of Palestinians believe each of these.
1 - Disbelief. Palestinians will believe that this is Israeli/American propaganda and untrue.
2 - Anger. Some Palestinians will believe this and realize how much he stole from them.
3 - Pride. I’ll bet some Palestinians will be proud that their leader has amassed such wealth. In the same way that some Arabs were proud of Saddam Hussein’s power and wealth.
