KINSHASA (Reuters) - Congo President Joseph Kabila and his family own stakes in more than 80 companies at home and abroad that are likely worth tens of millions of dollars, a report by a U.S.-based body said on Thursday.

The report by the Congo Research Group at New York University is based almost entirely on public records like land titles and incorporation documents. It is the most comprehensive mapping to date of Kabila and his family's fortune after two decades in charge of Africa's top copper producer.
