Richest Man In The World 2010

Richest Man In The World 2010 – The richest man in the world in 2010 isn’t Bill Gates or even Warren Buffet, it’s Carlos Slim! The latest Forbes Billionaire list was just released and according to that, Slim just beat out Gates as the richest man in 2010.

Carlos Slim is a Mexican tycoon who has built an entire empire to amass $53.5 billion in fortune. He owes some of Mexico’s biggest department stores, telecoms operator, hotels, restaurants, oil drilling, building firms and Inbursa bank. I mean, the list goes on when it comes down to Carlos Slim and his empire in Mexico.

He has built this empire for the last half century and obviously it’s been paying off really well for him. I mean, not a lot of people get to sport the title of the richest man in the world, you know?

Anyways, not only is Carlos Slim the richest man but he also does what he can do to fight poverty in Latin America. He tries to create opportunities for people rather than just donate and be a “Santa Claus” to people. He believes in working for the money and he has done just that for decades.

I guess that’s why he’s now the richest man in the world!
