Carlos Slim is fat

Carlos Slim, telecom tycoon who pounced on privatization of Mexico's national telephone company in the 1990s becomes world's richest person for first time after coming in third place last year. Net worth up $18.5 billion in a year. Net worth: $53.5 billion


It's about time Carlos. Coming in third last year just wasn't going to cut it. So I'm guessing he made some power moves and sketchy business partners, ran an underground fight club and speak-easy, and made some investments.


Oh, he didn't do that? None of that. He's a self made mogul who bought the biggest phone company in Mexico? Ohhh yup that'll do it
