Look at this!:

MEXICO CITY — Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim is the first man from a developing nation to become the world's richest person — a shift that underlines the loosening of America and Europe's stranglehold on the top spots in the billionaires' club.
Slim's arrival at the top aroused both pride and anger in Mexico, where many see his fantastic wealth in a poverty-afflicted nation as a sign of what ails it.
With a recovery in the value of his cell phone holdings pushing his estimated fortune to $53.5 billion, Slim jumped past Microsoft founder Bill Gates and investor Warren Buffett when Forbes magazine released its 2010 list of the world's wealthiest Wednesday.

meh.... talking about the top 10 richest people is almost meaningless. The difference between 50 billion compared to 40 billion is pretty pointless.... that is so much money that none of us could ever really understand it.

It is interesting that the wealth is starting to spread around more though.

I always wonder how much of that money they are worth goes towards helping others. With that much money they could help a LOT of people. I know most multi-millionaires do something to help others.... but I think it's pretty selfish to have that much money and not spend a lot of it helping people. You can't possible spend all that money yourself.

Wow, no wonder our economy is so bad he stole all the money

Seriously though, who the heck needs that much money? And why is the media shoving it in our faces? Why not show the poorest people? Because they don't care about you that is why

I have to agree, this man becomes the richest person yet his country is facing poverty.

Honestly, people like Bill Gates help out with their money, not sure about Slim though.
