Bill Gates No Longer World's Richest Man
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.
You mean the charities that he founded to save on taxes? Just enough to come out on top.
A guy making money in a poor country, what a selfish capitalist fat cat! We should give that money back to the proletariat of course, after all it belongs to them!
Spare us your fallacious and maudlin rage. You're rallying against what you don't have, not for some noble and honorable cause; cherry picking those at the very top to support your mindless anger and conveniently dismissal of the vast bell-curve of folks who benefit from a system that does reward hard work.
Yes greed is part of it. And that would be true in any socioeconomic system, not just some utopia of socialism. Fight for your share, or trust me I'll take it. Period.
lol ur a retard
He's a monster. Forcing people to buy cell phones. The horror.
