Bill Gates no longer richest man in the world, according to Forbes magazine’s list for 2010 from the world’s billionaires. That position now belongs to Carlos Slim Helou, the value of 53.5 billion dollars thanks to possess what appears to virtually every sector of the telecommunications infrastructure in Mexico, not to mention grocery stores, a large proportion of the New York Times Company.
Gates is now worth $ 53 billion, an increase thanks to a rise in the shares of Microsoft during the past year. His personal site, and observations of the Gates, it features a list of “things I’m thinking,” which comprises “There is an urgent need to help Haiti” and “Why vaccines Matter,” which makes me think that the former CEO of Microsoft is not exactly crying himself to sleep tonight on a bed $ 100 bills over him in second place. Twitter feed him also to give any indication he was upset with being a sweet $ 500 million more than that.
Then again, Gates held the position of prime minister from among the wealthiest in the world for 14 years of the past 15 years, and usually came in second place by a good friend Warren Buffett. A line of this kind must end at some point.
The annual Forbes billionaire list says Mexico’s Carlos Slim Helu is the richest man in the world, finally edging out Microsoft founder Bill Gates and signaling the rising wealth in developing nations.
