For years, Microsoft's Bill Gates has been the richest man in the world, until today when Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim beat him by $8.6 billion.
Carlos Slim's fortune stands at 59.2 billion compared to Bill Gates $57.8 billion.
Slim's wealth increased by 27% due to a surge in price share of his largest company, America Movil that became Latin America's biggest mobile phone network.
Poor Uncle Bill.. He just had to extend the warranty on his Xbox by one year due to numerous mechanical failures... his new operating system Vista is not catching on as fast as he wished that it would... and now for the first time in years, he's no longer the wealthiest man in the world.

Let's not forget that Bill is using his wealth to help the disadvantaged of the world and he is no longer involved in the Microsoft world.
