Oops! No longer me. I just lost a $5 bet with Bill Gates. He's #1 again.
As of April of 2007, Bill Gates was the richest, with Carlos Slim Helu in second. However, its been claimed that Carlos is now richer than Bill Gates, but the Forbes list of richest people has not substantiated that claim yet, so they are still listing Bill Gates first.
No, it's not Bill Gates anymore. The World's Richest Man is Carlos Slim. He is a Mexican Cell Phone Operator. He is estimated at a total 67.8 Billion dollars, where as Bill Gates makes an estimated 59.2 Billion.
carlos slim, the mexican telecom tycoon is the world's richest person
Bill Gates is still the richest man in the world although Carlos Slim Helú, the Mexican telecomm. monopolist is very close in passing him.
William Henry Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist and chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen. During his career at Microsoft he has held the positions of CEO and chief software architect, and he remains the largest individual shareholder with more than 8% of the common stock.[3] The annual Forbes magazine's list of The World's Billionaires has ranked Gates as the richest person in the world since 1995, with recent estimates putting his net worth near $56 billion.[2] When family wealth is considered, his family ranks second behind the Walton family, heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton. In July 2007, the Mexican online financial publication Sentido Común reported that the increase in value Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim's holdings of stock caused him to surpass Bill Gates as the world's richest man.[4][5]
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Although he is widely admired,[6][7][8] his business tactics have been criticized as anti-competitive and in some instances ruled as such in court.[9][10] Since amassing his fortune, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.

The Sultan of Brunei.
bill gates for sure
it would seem that depending on your source and the date of that source that bill gates and the calos guy are the top 2. no one seems to agree which one it is.
I think it is Carlos slim. He is some Hispanic who owns somehthing forgot.
Carlos Slim he's from Mexico and is the owner of Telmex and other telecommunication companies in South America.
The only reason why this moron is or will become the richest man in the world in any day, is because both Warren Buffett and Bill Gates for the past years have been giving a lot of money to charities, while this IDIOT does not give a sigle peso to charity eventhough he lives in a third world nation.
I'm not saying he should give his money away just like that, but the way he do business is ridiculous he overcharges a lot and does not offer a good service at all, but still his company owns 90% of all landlines in Mexico and 70% of all cellphones. It's unbelievable but true.
Carlos Slim, mexican guy who is in to telecommunication industry in Mexico.
idk, but the google guys have to up there...
Carlos Slim. A Mexican Tycoon.
