Carlos Slim Helú (born January 28, 1940 in Mexico City) is a Mexican businessman and the world's richest person as of August 2007, according to Fortune magazine and the Wall Street Journal. Forbes magazine however still maintains that Slim is behind Bill Gates, who now has a net worth of US$59 billion.
Slim has a substantial influence over the telecommunications industry in Mexico and much of Latin America as well. He controls Teléfonos de México (Telmex), Telcel and América Móvil companies.

In March, Forbes listed Bill Gates as the richest person in the world with a fortune of about $56 billion. However, last month Fortune estimated that Carlos Slim Helú, a Mexican industrialist, had passed him and is now worth about $59 billion.

It is debatable. It was formerly Bill Gates, but lately, people have considered the Ikea owner and several others to be possibilities. People also neglect to consider Sultans and such who are oil kings in the middle east. If you go to http://www.forbes.com/ then you can view the richest people in America.
