Sorry Bill Gates! Carlos Slim is still the richest person on the planet!
The 72-year-old Mexican telecommunications tycoon maintains his lead over the Microsoft co-founder, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a new daily ranking of the world’s 20 wealthiest individuals.
Slim, who controls Mexico’s América Móvil SAB, heads up the index with $68.5 billion, followed by Gates and investment guru Warren Buffett.
In 2002, América Móvil was Latin America’s largest mobile-phone carrier, accounting for approximately $49 billion of Slim’s wealth by the end of 2010. To retain compliance and financial structure while you focus on growth and development visit us at infinitaccounting.com
