Uh that’s up for debate. his last words also could have been “Do you know who I am? Do you know what I’m worth?”

Seriously, look it up. The man also died with a Rolex watch on his wrist (not that it means anything, just saying).

I’m assuming your referring to the line, “Don’t shoot, I am Che Guevara and I am worth more to you alive than dead.”

This line is cited by wikiquote.org as being mistakenly cited as his last words. Those listed above (or variations on them) are cited as his last words by wikiquote.org, George Washington University, Time magazine, as well as numerous other sources.
