    Wealthiest Man in the world is now Carlos Slim

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/11/bu.../11forbes.html

    From a different article:

    Slim is known for his unpretentious lifestyle, eschewing private jets and lavish yachts. For almost 40 years, he has lived in the same simple house in Mexico City’s Lomas de Chapultepec neighbourhood and drives his own ageing Mercedes, accompanied by a convoy of 4x4s carrying his bodyguards.

    In recent years, he has turned his attention to his art collection and charitable work, leaving his business increasingly in the hands of his three sons and three daughters.

    Sounds like a modest billionaire

        So, richest man is not Bill Gates anymore.

        The media has free speech.

                I call bullshit.

                Mexico doesn't have telecommunications. They just got running water last week.

                    I thought Carlos Slim had been the world richest man for a while. I wonder where on the list Ingvar Kamprad the owner of IKEA is. He must be close to the top though.

                        Currently 11th richest.. however he took the subway to work.

                        Not sure if he still works.

                          Slim worth $53.3 billion
                          Gates worth $53 billion

                          what's $300 million? nothing. I call it a tie.

                            He owns the Phone company in Mexico and if you want a phone you have to get it from him. Some small options have come around but he is the major carrier. The phone system is total shit and from the 60's. You get x calls in the monthly basic plan and any more than that you pay more for. a 4meg commercial DSL line is 150$ a month and if you are lucky you get 2 megs.

                            And you have little to no choice. No wonder he makes sooo much.

                              This is BS! The real super rich people are not even mentioned in Forbes Magazine...

                              The Rockefellers, Rotchilds, etc... those ppl are the ppl who manages the cash... Carlos Slim is super rich true... but he still works for the Rockefellers!!

                              The Rockefellers fortune was estimated to be 11 trillion dollars by the begining of 1940

                                        Though I agree with you, but I think someone pulled 11trillion out of their ass...

                                          I remember my dad mentioning Berkshire-Hathaway stock back when I was way younger... had no idea it was so expensive. over 140k per share... jesus.
