The Second Richest Man in the World?
Although Carlos Slim Helu may never become as famous as Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT) Chairman Bill Gates, Mr. Slim is ranked in second place when it comes to wealth behind Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE: BRKA) Chairman Warren Buffett, and thus Mr Slim is already considered richer than Mr Gates, according to Forbes magazine.
