Stalin had little in the way of personal assets other than the resources of an entire state. Hitler, in addition to having the resource of the state at his beck and call, was in fact personally a multi-millionaire.
Not the point.
Unlike the desperate people both Hitler and Stalin conned to get their power, both Hitler and Stalin once in power, live a life of luxury regardless of who was paying for it.
Kim Jong Un would argue the same shit, and be just as full of shit.
"It's not mine" is bullshit. Dictators live in the lap of luxury at the expense of their respective populations. Hitler, Stalin. Po Pot, and Kim Jong Ill ate well and slept well while in power.
