This sounds like more of a statement that a question. In which case, it doesn't belong on Yahoo! Answers.

Can you believe it?! And it's even MORE Ironic- that he's been replaced by a Mexican!- Like, what's up with THAT??! Could it BE- there is MORE $$$ to be made in Mexico- than here in the States?! Forget about complaining that illegal Mexican immigrants are flooding into THIS Country; maybe out of work Americans should move to Mexico & work for Carlos Slim !!! :)

It's because these guys have just humongous amount of stocks. Depending on how their stocks do Bill could come in #1 on one day and Slim at #1 the next day. Still pretty crazy.

That is what happens when you have a monoploy in mexico. They don't even had hybirds all they have are the older U.S. models. I go to mexico every year by car and we get charge $30 more to fill it up and it is not even the same. I buy premium(95) over here and over there la roja(92)!

People often overlook the fact that Mexico is the richest country in Latin America.

I heard about that. Wow.
It was bound to happen, Gates stepped down as CEO in 2000, and Slim still works.
