Raul Castro was born on June 3, 1931, so as of May 2026 he is 94 years old. He turns 95 on June 3, 2026.
Notes:
- Raul Castro served as Cuba’s head of state from 2006 to 2018 and remains a prominent figure, though not the active president. This aligns with widely reported biographical details about his birth year and age.[3]
- Public discussions about his age often reference milestone birthdays (e.g., 80, 83, 94) and the context of Cuba’s leadership succession.[4][5][3]
