Mexico's Carlos Slim knocks Bill Gates off his top billionaire perch
- badave 17y agoBill Gates has been giving away his money for the last 5 years to charities...
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoI like to think of it as him giving away our money to charities.
- joeycfan 17y agoThis Slim guy is an outstanding crook. He runs this long-distance phone call biz in Mexico. Basically owns the country's phone system. Didn't pay for it, but he owns it. Two guys come up with a way to make cheaper calls and start a competing business - magically, the govt passes a law to make their method illegal. They change the method and the govt passes ANOTHER law to make THAT illegal. Show me a great fortune, I'll show you a great crime.
