Interesting stuff, but you forget that those fortunes are gone for a variety of reasons. The richest man in the world is not Bill Gates anymore, it is a Mexican man from Mexico named Carlos Slim. No big deal, but this makes Mr. Gates, the second.

It's true, I just heard it today, but you know Carlos Slim has many many businesses as I've heard.... among his businesses, he owns Mexico's largest cell phone company and Telmex the main Country's telephone company. I am not really expecting anything out of this but what you think. Who's the 3rd, 4th, and 5th richest people?
