For the 30-something year in a row, I’ve not made the Forbes Rich List. Must try harder!
Interesting to see an emerging market hombre step up:
Riding surging prices of his various telecom holdings, including giant mobile outfit America Movil, Mexican tycoon Carlo 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.
Here’s the top 10 Forbes rich list rankings:
