So what’s it like to be a dictator?

You've almost certainly HEARD of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

But Newsweek decided to delve into the little known day-to-day life of being a dictator.

They say Kim is no workaholic like his father, and despite many appearances and parades, he likes to relax and spend lavishly.

They say state spending on luxury goods like alcohol, electronics, and high-end clothing, has nearly doubled to $645 million per year during his tenure.

Kim tends to indulge on wine and cheese, they say, and actually had to cancel appearances at one point for health and weight problems.

He has a wife, but she's rarely seen, and it's believed he has a daughter, but that's not confirmed.

He has the main Central Luxury Mansion but also spends a lot of time at what Newsweek calls a palatial complex on the coast, which Dennis Rodman describes as a 7-star party in Hawaii, but Kim “is the only one there.”
