The Richest Man in the World is…. not Bill Gates
That’s right. Carlos Slim Helu of Mexico has now surpassed Mr. Gates. What’s even more interesting is how this man made it to the top.
Fortune magazine’s senior writer, Stephanie M. Mehta provides the details in her article, “Carlos Slim, the Richest Man in the World”.
The article does not really go into great detail about the rise to fame of the elder Slim. After researching on the web, I gather that Slim’s father, Julian Slim Haddad, passed on his business acumen to Slim.
For those of you Kiyosaki fans, it should be noted that Slim is both an astute investor and business owner. This is a friendly reminder that those of us in the employee and self-employed quadrants need to stop trading time for dollars.

Slim is not a shrewd investor. Nor is he a particularly a good businessman. Take a good look at how he has managed to accumulate his wealth. Created nothing but bought almost everything through extortion, graft and corruption. So please don’t advocate the use of his methods. His wealth represents about 8% of Mexico’s GDP. More than three times Rockafella’s at the height of his power. In a country rampant with poverty this type of wealth and power should be monitored very carefully. Unfortunately everyone with the authority has been bought.
No my friend the only reason one should read this is to totally avoid this type of abuse. C’mon you have just been to Irak to get rid of one tyrrant.www.thebaldchemist.com
