QuoteNew York (CNN) -- Forbes magazine released its annual list of the world's richest people Wednesday, and for only the second time since 1995, Microsoft founder Bill Gates' name was not at the top.
This year, the title of "World's Richest" went to Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim, with a net worth of $53.5 billion.

guys don't be racist
Grow up people -_-
I didn't believe it either. The only logical explanation is that he stole all of the money when Bill Gates wasn't looking or CNN is lying. Both are pretty likely.
So the richest guy in the world is Mexican. Grow the intercourse up. *eyeroll*
I guess this explains the current state of Mexico. All of their money is in one person.
It's been like this for years.

According to the same website this is only the second time in about 15 years that Gates hasn't been on top.
Oh, nice thing to hear about my previous country. Stop being racist, people.

You left for a reason. I can say with confidence it was because your previous country wasn't exactly a great place to live. It isn't racist to be surprised that the richest person lives in a third world country. It's a shame he isn't as nice a guy as Bill Gates is, he could really help those people out.

I left because I couldn't enter a high school, and I lost a whole year of school.

Darn, i don't know if thats good or bad.
Geez, twice in 15 years Bill Gates has been beaten. Thats not much, but congrats to the people that manage to accomplish something this big.
It's surprising only because of the state of Mexico, which I'd call second world. We expect the US to pull off the win, and when it doesn't, it only makes sense that the UK, France, Germany, Japan, or Canada would be in the spot.
New users need to learn bout NSFCD.

FUCKING BEANER.
THEY NEED TO STOP LEARNING AND GO BACK TO GROWING MY GOD DAMN POT. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY'LL BE USEFUL. :| :| :| :| :|
But really, seeing a Mexican being the richest man in the world is surprising. It's a poophole, how the intercourse did he acquire so much money?

Those Mexicans are pretty good at growing that pot. Just ask any Alex on the forum.

You're correct.

I would've called you by echo but I wasn't sure if you were trying to keep a lowdown on your name. Not like it matters now.
also you have censors on? You should edit that.
You can actually get soda made from cane sugar and not corn syrup in the States, but it can be difficult to find depending on where you are. Thankfully since I live in Florida it isn't that hard to find.

Sadly I can't get Pure cane sugared soda where i live because i'm too far north. (New Hampshire)
I've been down to Costa Rica and Cancun, Mexico though. Along with a lot i experienced down there, I also did realize the difference with the Coke Cola and other soda down there. It's much better than the stuff i get up here.
Damn it.

God I miss Florida, Louisiana isn't that bad a state and all but Florida was legit.
and JrDude, Mexico sucks
He owns one of the worlds biggest telecommunications company, according to Wikipedia, his company controls 90% of all telecommunications in Mexico and has a significant stake in most of Latin America and Brazil. I would think he would be pretty wealthy.

Whatever. I'll just use mentos and sour skittles to make my soda good. It'll also make me high while you guys can have poisoned water. Beat that!
