$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jasonraymondson', 'F')or about the first time in history, the richest man in the world is no longer a white guy from the United States.


You have a very short definition of "history."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jasonraymondson', 'I')n a suprise revelation, Bill Gates has been surpassed by Mexico's biggest tycoon and owner of America Movil; Slim Helu.

Bill Gates is in second place by a staggering 9 Billion dollars. For about the first time in history, the richest man in the world is no longer a white guy from the United States.


Or maybe Bill Gates has given away tens of billions of dollars to charity and this guy in Mexico isn't nearly as charitable?

True wealth is "How long can you not work and still live ok?"

Most Americans don't have this. The Goschutes Indians had this.

(Yeah yeah they worked a bit, but it was hardly work compared to the slavery we have now, with every meagre bite of food and every nodule of #2 when we steal time to go to the bathroom timed down to the last second and NO security, social relationships of any kind strdently discouraged etc.)

True wealth is How many like minded friends are standing next to you when TSHTF.

By becoming broke, bankrupt, and going to live in a backyard I am convinced I have become more wealthy. The people I am going to be living with are the salt of the earth types who are very rare. It may get ugly in this area as TSHTF, but there's a great deal of like-mindedness going on.

He completely rejuvenated large swaths of the super-ghetto area Mexico City with his own money, and also the historic downtown area.

Gates didn't become a big philanthropist until much later in his time of super-wealth, lets see how this guy turns out.

"Now, however, Mr Garcia says there is no doubt that the little-known Mexican has finally captured the coveted top slot, following a surge in America Movil's shares over the second quarter. This is estimated to have boosted his fortune to an estimated $67.8bn (£33.6bn) - equivalent to 8% of Mexico's gross domestic product - compared with $59.2bn for the Microsoft mogul, putting him in the lead by a decisive $8.6bn."

:?

That is absolutely astonishing.

Can you imagine having a person in your country who controlled as much wealth as was produced by your entire country in a month...
