Anastasio Somoza Portocarrero (born February 1, 1951 in Miami, Florida) is a son of former Nicaraguan president Anastasio Somoza Debayle and Hope Portocarrero de Somoza. Also known as El Chigüín—"daddy's kid"—Somoza Portocarrero had been the heir apparent to the Somoza dynasty prior to the ouster of his father by the Sandinistas in 1979. By early 1978 Somoza Portocarrero had reportedly taken on the appellation "apprentice dictator" and assumed full control of the Somozas' estimated $1 billion business empire, however by mid-1979 the family had fallen from power and would be forced into exile.
