One finance based website of Mexico declared that Bill Gates is not the top rich man of the world now. Now Mexican telecoms businessman Carlos Slim is the top rich man of the world now.Total property of:-
Bill Gates: 5920 crore USD
Carlos slim: 6780 crore USD or 3360 crore pound.
The share price of Carlos Slim's telecoms company "America Movil" has recently increased 27% and that's why he crossed Bill Gates as a rocket .
Carlos Slim Helú, born January 28, 1940 in Mexico City, is a Mexican businessman of Lebanese descent. 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.
