Bill Gates has never been comfortable with the title of richest man in the world, telling an interviewer last year, "I wish I wasn't. There's nothing good that comes out of that." Now it looks like his wish has come true. A Mexican financial news service is reporting that Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Helu` who eased past investment guru Warren Buffett into second place in the most recent Forbes magazine annual wealth tally, has now bumped Gates out of first. Sentido Comu`n reported that a recent surge in the stock of Slim's America Movil group boosted his fortune to an estimated $67.8 billion, vs. Gates' meager $59.2 billion. Gates and Buffett, of course, have started turning their attention toward giving away chunks of their money. And with his new title spotlighting Mexico's tremendous disparity in income, Slim will also be stepping up his charitable efforts. "Poverty is resolved with education and jobs," he told the New York Times. "You don't need to teach a man how to fish, as the Chinese used to say. Instead of giving him the fish, instead of teaching him how to fish, you have to teach him how to sell the fish so that he eats something else besides a fish." Or something like that.
