So the richest person in the world is Mexican.  Worth $53.5 Billion.  But I couldn't help to notice that 4 of the top 20 are members of the Walton Family that owns Wal-Mart.  The 4 are worth a combined $83.6 Billion.

This really is a Wal-Mart world

" A Rich man is not the one who has the Most....

It's the one who needs the Least"

I think that covers most of us.

"Slim's fortune has swelled to an estimated $53.5 billion, up $18.5 billion in 12 months. Shares of America Movil, of which Slim owns a $23 billion stake, were up 35% in a year. "

Up 18.5 Billion in the last 12 months?! Thats over a billion a month, got dammit?!?!? Takes $ to make $ I guess

Anyone who thinks this is the "richest" man in the world is delusional. The most wealthy are kept from the spotlight and hidden behind governments...

What do you mean by "richest"?  Are you defining it in terms of "power"?
