For the first time, in as long as I can remember the
world's richest98 person isn't an American. Yes! You read that right. In the 2010 list of the world's richest people, both Bill Gates and Warren Buffett were knocked from their existence as the two richest people in the world. In their place is a Mexican telecommunications magnate. However, it's not that they lost money, quite contrary, they built wealth over the last year, it's just that Carlos Slim Helu, built even greater wealth this past year.
