North Korean Leader seemingly burns holes in his pockets

         North Korea is not part of a growing economy. Their country is suffering from poverty and starvation. Kids are roaming the streets homeless, parent less, and eating dirty scraps of food out of the mud. The country has food aid from the United States. These Problems all arose because one man decided he was not going to help his country. Instead he indulges himself, and his family on some of the most expensive foods in the world.
                                                                      

Kim Jong-Un's extravagant diet has cost lots of money to up hold. Kim has his very own personal chef who makes all of his meals for him. His name is Fujimoto. Fujimoto was recruited by the North Korean Government to work a restaurant in Pongyong. Soon after he was hired as a personal chef for Kim Sung Il. Fujimoto says that he has been on shopping trips all around the world for different kinds of delicate foods. This puts the estimated prices of his food very high. He estimated one meal of special scented rice cakes at 120 for each little bite sized piece.

        In the book "The Orphan Master's Son", there is a part where one of the government agents goes on a trip to L.A. just to buy DVD's. He says that he has 24 hours to buy three-Thousand dollars worth of movies. 
        This is the exact reason that North Korea is in such a poor economic state. Kim Jong- Il is simply not responsible with his money. He knows that there is a country of starving people, yet he still chooses to spend extremely large amounts of money on luxuries to pamper himself, and others who are of "loyalty" in North Korea.
