Er zit wel wat in hoor, hier is wat Forbes zelf zegt over de schatting:

Forbes indulges in some wealth watching of royals and dictators below. Be warned: Valuing these folks is a tricky business. For starters, one must figure out what actually belongs to them and what belongs to their throne or their country. For instance, Forbes does not count the crown jewels or Buckingham Palace as part of Queen Elizabeth II's net worth. She enjoys these riches, but they technically belong to the British state, much like the White House belongs to the U.S. government.
Some of these estimates are pretty rigorous. Others are a little fuzzier. For example, we calculate the net worth of Castro based on a percentage of Cuba's GDP. We separate these folks from our traditional ranking of the world's billionaires because of these reasons and because a couple simply do not boast the $1 billion purse necessary to qualify.

Lijkt me niet echt eerlijk om dat cijfer te hanteren.
