Carlos Slim is once again the world’s richest person, followed by Bill Gates.Amancio Ortega of Spanish retailer Zara moves up to No. 3 for the first time. He is the year’s biggest gainer, adding $19.5 billion to his fortune in one year. He moves ahead of Warren Buffett, despite the fact that the U.S. investing legend added $9.5 billion to his fortune. This is the first year since 2000 that Buffett has not been among the top 3. The year’s biggest loser is Brazilian Eike Batista, whose fortune dropped by $19.4 billion, or equivalent to about $50 million a day. His rank falls from no. 7 to no. 100 in the world.

  • There is no end to their greed. They want everything. And when they get it, they will have succeeded in destroying their souls.

  • not a single person on this list can compare to the rothschils, rockefellers, oppenheimers, warburgs, morgans, schiffs and others. the difference is is that these named families have their wealth hidden in trusts like the rockefeller foundation. the true wealth of the house of rothschild is estimated to be around 600 TRILLION dollars. GOOGLE IT!!

  • Carlos Slim Helu is not even Mexican but direct descendant from Ottoman Empire from Middle East. Even in Wikipedia it says, he is of lebanese decent which is just a cover..whatever, but he does not have a single drop of mexican blood.

    He is pure royal like the Saudi, Bush, Windsor Family, who were told to go to different places on earth before the new world begins. He is Jewish Khazar.

  • True, the real puppetmasters are clearly behind the scenes.
