A few weeks ago, I just wrote an article about tips for successful from Warren Buffet. In that article, I wrote that he was 2nd Richest Man. Today I just read from Yahoo! Finance that he is already number 1 right now. That is fantastic, he takes Bill Gates out from his position that already had for a long time. This is the original article from Yahoo! Finance.
The World's Billionaires 2008
Wednesday, March 5, 2008.
The number 13 has long been considered unlucky by superstitious people around the globe. How fitting, then, that Bill Gates' reign as the world's richest person ends after his 13th year at the top.
Despite being worth $58 billion, $2 billion more than last year, Gates is now the world's third-richest person, ceding the top spot ranking to his good friend and partner in philanthropy, Warren Buffett, whose net worth jumped $10 billion to $62 billion. Ranked No. 2 is Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Helú, whose fortune has doubled in just two years to $60 billion.
