Bill Gates No Longer World's Richest Man

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-that's-so-sad dept.

alphadogg writes "Riding surging prices of his various telecom holdings, including giant mobile outfit America Movil, Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim Helu has beaten out Americans Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to become the wealthiest person on earth and nab the top spot on the 2010 Forbes list of the World's Billionaires." I'd still let the guy buy me dinner if he's ever in my town. He's probably still good for it even though he's fallen on hard times.

    Rumor has it that Melinda was a niggerlover before Billy picked her off the streets and gave her a shower.

    Billy himself is sterile, but he's raising three of her mulatto offspring(different fathers, of course) in secret.

    I agree. I like to think that if someone achieves this kind of fortune that it is a great thing for them. I'll worry about taking myself up levels and not worry about bringing others down.

    It is CarloS, with an S at the end. Pay a little bit of attention to details if you are gonna make something public.

    I am sorry to be rough. When Spanish speakers make a mistake spelling an anglo-saxon name it becomes a big issue. When an anglo-saxon speaker wants to misspell a Spanish name it is tolerated.
    Not to start a language war. I would request the same attention to be paid to any language.
    And of course my English is far from perfect.
