North Korea's "Dear Leader" reportedly buys Mercedes Benz cars by the dozen and is said to be one of the world's biggest importers of Hennessy's cognac. His 60th birthday, in April, is a national holiday, as is that of his father Kim Il-Sung who died in 1994. The 60th birthday is a benchmark event in the zodiac cycle, and festivities for the dictator will last from April to June.
