Being the ex-President's daughter pays off: Hugo Chavez's ambassador daughter is Venezuela's richest woman
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 $3.6billion in assets.

Eh no, you have to understand how vene culture works. Afros (el Negro) are seen as the bottom of the social order and there is racism against them. white and mixed venes don't interact with Afros in a social setting, it has a lot to do with skin colour and family status. Nearly all Spanish countries have this culture. White and mixed venes wont vote for an afro government .
It all depends on what type of venes come here. If pure afro venes looking like Rowely come here then they may vote PNM , if given the right to vote. Note that mixed Afro venes don't see themselves as black.
Why do you think afro Venezuelans came here in 1900s to work in coffee and coca, they came to escape racism and being placed at the bottom of the social order.

Before the Spanish Empire came to the New World they were conquered by African Moors which interbred with the Spanish. It was only after they were able to rid the Moors that they started the American conquest. The Spanish never considered themselves to be pure Caucausians because as the most Southerly European country they always had a North African influence.
Therefore when they came to the New World it was not frown upon, as was in British colonies,s for Spaniard to have indigenous or African wives or concubines. Peru and Mexico got more slaves than the US but those African ancestors are so mixed into society that the are indiscernible especially in Mexico but in US Africans were kept segregated up until recently. While there might be Latin American states such as Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and El Salvador that had segregation as well, not so with Venezuela.
It is true that Afro-Venezuelans are on the lowest end of society but which country in the Americas that is not so? Venezuelans would tell you that they are colour blind and they dont racially discriminate. Like all American countries they would culturally value those with lighter skin but Afro-Venezuelans integrate seamlessly into Venezuelan society. Also as I mentioned before Hugo Chavez, a proud Afro-Venezuelan, commanded huge respect among all hues even now after he is dead. That is why Venezuelans would come here and be with anyone whether African or East Indian (which they consider to be like Amerindian) and milk them for what they are worth.

I have lived and worked in Latin America including Venezuela. I made mention of racism in other Latin American countries, but Venezuela is very ethnically mixed. It is not as racist as other countries.
