Default Carlos Slim now 2nd richest

According to CNN HL, Carlos Slim is now the 2nds richest man in the world, toppling Warren Buffet from the spot due to a 4 BILLION dollar increase in wealth in the last 4 months.

Amazing what you can do when you're gifted the monopoly telco of a country of 140 million people, huh?

Stuff like this reminds me of an old SNL skit where Steve Martin had a guaranteed system for making a million dollars (it was a longggggggg time ago)

After the lengthy setup, the secret was "Well first, you take about $20 million . . .

I did not see your name anywhere near the top of that list either. I guess your poker winnings have not pushed you to the next level just yet.
