Carlos Slim. Just slightly richer than Bill Gates. But not for long. America will win back the title soon.

I believe it’s a man from the India-Near East area, last name Slim, who’s now a notch above Bill Gates.

Carlos Slim Helú (born January 28, 1940 in Mexico City) is a Mexican businessman of Lebanese descent.[2] Slim has a substantial influence over the telecommunications industry in Mexico and in much of the rest of Latin America as well. He controls Teléfonos de México (Telmex), Telcel and América Móvil companies. Though he maintains an active involvement in his companies, his three sons Carlos Slim Domit, Marco Antonio Slim Domit and Patrick Slim Domit and his son in law Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, head them on a day-to-day basis.

On July 3, 2007, a report by Mexican financial journalist Eduardo Garcia indicated that Slim’s wealth had exceeded that of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, making him the world’s wealthiest person. Recent gains in his shares in the America Movil group are largely responsible for his recent increase in wealth, boosting his fortune to an estimated $67.8 billion dollars compared with $59.2 billion dollars for the Microsoft mogul Bill Gates.

Bill Gates is still at the top of the list. I checked todays Forbes list and it still has Gates as the top one. If someone else has overshadowed him it could be Carlos Helu or Warren Buffett.
