Enormous sums of wealth. The gap between the 1st and 2nd guy is huge.
Makes me want to go dig for minerals while selling coca cola, building a house and broadcasting on tv all at the same time.

Bad Vlad's Gold
Estimates run up to $170 Billion, but verification is said to be difficult and complicated by the blurred line between what he owns and what he has
control of owned by the government.
In any case, he's doing OK.
No doubt, B.O. is jealous.

I'm not so sure about that, Chuckie. He has developed a reputation for stingeyness and probably only has foundations for tax purposes.
He does however hire a lot of people.

He is purchasing USA pay as you go cell phone companies, then changing the original cell plans so a person is FORCED to purchase the most expensive
recharge cards in order to receive a couple of months service time.
The man is a walking talking MACHO ripoff artist.
He has been quoted many times VERBATIM
"I want to become the richest person in the world and I know how to do it"
He has the very best system of PRI government supporters in Mexico City, that money can BUY

Mexico's Carlos Slim Says He'd Rather Create Jobs Than Donate ...
www.bloomberg.com/…010-09-29/carlos-slim-prefers.
Billionaire Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world according to Forbes magazine, said he’d rather spend money on projects that create jobs than
give away his cash as part of a fight against poverty.
“The only way to fight poverty is with employment,” Slim said at a conference in Sydney today. “Trillions of dollars have been given to charity in the
last 50 years, and they don’t solve anything.”
Slim’s comments come as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are in China to persuade fellow billionaires to give at least half their wealth to charity.
Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., and Microsoft Corp. cofounder Gates have signed up more than 30 philanthropists, including Larry Ellison
and Paul Allen, to their Giving Pledge initiative.
“To give 50 percent, 40 percent, that does nothing,” Slim said. “There is a saying that we should leave a better country to our children. But it’s
more important to leave better children to our country.”

I remember a phrase in Mex, back in the day, something
with a #, like 40, which referred to 40 Mex Families which
held approx 85% of the Country of Mex's wealth. I'm sure the US
has # similiar, maybe not the same imbalance

One big difference in the two list is that Chapo Guzman didn't make the latest.
Shame on Forbes for including him on the 2010 list.
