March 15, 2010
Bill Gates has been replaced as the world's richest man in the world.
The Microsoft tycoon was shoved out of the top spot of the latest Forbes list by Mexican telecommunications businessman Carlos Slim, who has an estimated $500 million more than Gates.
Notwithstanding, Gates, who held the title for 16 years, did have a very profitable 2009. He collected another $13 billion after Microsoft shares rose about 50 percent.
