Bill Gates hit SKID ROW!
 

Well, he is no longer the world's richest man. He fell all the way down to number 3. Number one is a Mexican dude. Bill Gates needs to start clipping coupons.

#3 Richest man in the world means he needs to clip coupons? How do you figure?

lol........

What does a mexican dude do to have become the richest man in the world?

That makes sense. Surely everyone knows mexicans spend more on their phone services than people all over the world on numerous Microsoft products.

It's impressive that he can give away as much money as he does and still remain in the top 3.

Not just Mexico. He is a pretty damn smart business man. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Slim_Hel%C3%BA

Mexico is the number one (numero uno!) country where you can send all your technology (specially telecommunication devices... say, cellphones) to BETA test by the mexican community... This in order to see the (usually adverse) effects of new hardware technology on humans before using it safely in your own country.

I guess someone has to be the middle man.

This information is from a Mexican magazine that probably doesn't own a calculator. I'll wait for Forbes to put out its list before relying on the Mexicali Dinero Report.

They were $3billion apart earlier this year.

hahahaha!!!!

The guy has money invested pretty much everywhere, he owns the largest cell company in Mexico, some big departmental stores, restaurants, the only land phones company, etc, etc.

Not only Mexico, the dude basically owns half of Latin America

Or it's in pesos, rofl:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
