Richest Man In The World


Forbes has on the loose its annual Billionaires list. Carlos Slim HelĂș (and family) made the top of the list. Forbes reports:

Atop the mound is Mexico’s Carlos Slim Helu, who added $20.5 billion to his fortune, more than any other billionaire. The telecom mogul, who gets 62% of his fortune from America Movil , is now worth $74 billion and has pulled far to the front of his two closest rivals. Bill Gates, No. 2, and Warren Buffett, No. 3, both added a more modest $3 billion to their piles and are now worth $56 billion and $50 billion, respectively. Gates, who now gets 70% of his luck from investments outside of Microsoft, has actually been investing in the Mexican stock market and has assets in Mexican Coke bottler Femsa and Grupo Televisa.
