Mukesh Ambani World's Richest Man

Mukesh Ambani, the 49-year-old Indian tycoon, former petrol pump attendant, whose personal fortune was put at nearly £31billion (about $62 billion), is the world's richest man overtaken Bill Gates in the rich list.

His mansion in Bombay will be 60 storeys tall, but will only have 27 floors to allow for super-high ceilings on the floors occupied by himself, wife Nita, and their three children.

There will be accommodation for 600 personal servants and staff.

Mr Ambani runs Reliance Industries, India's second-largest firm. The oil, textiles and chemicals giant was founded by his father, Dhirubhai, who started work as a petrol pump attendant.

His new pad will also include a helipad, health club, hanging gardens and six floors of car parking.

Construction has already started on what will eventually be a 175m tower and planners are aiming to complete it by September next year.

The building, already worth £500 million, could start a rush on skyscrapers.

Carlos Slim is the top rich man of the world

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.
