Bill Gates dethroned as World's Richest Man!

Mexican telecom giant Carlos Slim has topped Forbes magazine's billionaire's list - the first time since 1994 that an American has not led the rankings.


Mr Slim's fortune rose by $18.5bn (£12.4bn) last year to $53.5bn.


That beat Microsoft founder Bill Gates ($53bn) into second place, with US investor Warren Buffett ($43bn) third.
