bill gates has been beaten as the richest man in the world many times. but this "stubborn" guy just keeps bouncing back. i'm sure slim's success is just momentary. by the way, is this mexican's job wholly legitimate? don't blame me, bacause it's a known fact that most of the world's notorious drug barons are found in the americas.
however, i believe that bill gates's "exhalted" position in the world can be overcome by anybody, even a nigerian!(LOL)

I don't give a rat's ass about the Carlos Slim or Bill Gates or Dangote or Oprah or any rich list positioning.

Am I a hater?

I like to read the autobiography though, to find out how to make my own dosh.

success aint about how much u have at a particular time, but how much impact u 've had on the ppl and places u pass thru while getting rich.
Slim is richer than gates now, so wat? how abt gates has had more positive impact on ppl in the world? doesnt that make more sense?
Slim even thinks that bill's philantropy is santa , i think the guy shd be slapped in the face.

As long as we all continue to use the computer and Internet, I believe Bill Gates will make his mark back to number 1 spot, 'cos there is nothing we do without the use of computers and the Internet even in the stock market too computer is their everyday tool. This will not last 'cos the table is definately going to turn in no time.

Story sweet to talk abi?

You cant be on top forever ! i tip my hat to bill for holding that position for close to 10 years if am not mistaken.Do remeber that the wall mart family overtook him some time ago but he came back so lets see for how long this new guy can hold on!

I'm of the opinion that Bill may not overtake Carlos Slim again because he's no longer interested in the first position. About 30% of his income have been shared to various charitable homes as I said earlier. I know they are not rated by the incomes that comes to them, but I still believe that these proceeds, if he still receive them can be used to acquire more shares or invested to other businesses that can generate more assets to him. That was why he made the statement that "once you make your money and hits $50 Million, you are satisfied because what $60Billion can buy, $50Million can still buy it. He went ahead to say that investing in the charitable homes is his main concern. So, with his statements, you will know that he's no longer interested in that position. We all know Bill is greater than Carlos anytime, any day. Carlos has done nothing, and he's just talking rubbish that you cannot fight poverty by donations. Please help me ask Carlos Slim, if the orphans and the physically challanged will die in hungry, and have no right to be educated like him, hence he does not believe in donations. Who does he wants to train the orphans and the rest? Selfish man like him.

Make we see wetin their next list go yield

Why are we wasting time debating who should be richest man, someone should call Bill or Carlos and beg the two of them to come here and give us power supply, since our PHCN is dead, whoever responds first should be trully installed to be worlds richest!

hahahaha

U funny

Well, I still like Bill Gates, he maintained that position for 13years and was known for giving.
No wonder it's said that Givers Like Me Never Lack. If Slim does not give like Gates, I'll overtake him.

yea i think you are right man, maybe they should hold a little bit of road construction too, and then add good tap water, and then more affordable housing for Nigerian citizens

Carlos Slim, aka, the 'real slim shady'

The world is a just giver, whatever you ask is what you get.

guys please pray for me so that i can be that rich and then give charity to people and also build Nigeria without being in government.
