Bill Gates no longer world's richest man
A Mexican online financial Web site estimates that tycoon Carlos Slim has a net worth of $67 billion, which would place his fortune above that of the Microsoft chairman, according to various media reports. Slim is known for a wide swath of holdings including banking interests, CompUSA and telecommunications firms.
The Mexican site, Sentido Comun, noted Slim's rising wealth in April, saying that they believed he had passed both then No. 2 Warren Buffet and Gates, Britain's The Guardian said in its report. But with a recent rise in shares of mobile phone carrier America Movil, Sentido Comun founder Eduardo Garcia said, there is no doubt that Slim has surpassed Gates.

and mainly its SUCH A BIG propaganda for him... just look you fell for it
Lack of Army lol
Lets get back on topic . . .
Yes PrudentPrincess Bill Gates is no longer running Microsoft, I'm not sure how retired he is though.
Happens everywhere though even troughout Canada/USA but they gotta play it way more lowkey here... I seen a past friend of mine the other day he sells coke all over Canada nowadays (he didnt tell me this, but someone I know out west did).. started out as a weed dealer like 10 years ago and hasent been caught once yet.. though he hardly handles the stuff himself.
But back on topic, This is speculation and it might be true illegal $$ or not but as its been pointed out Bill does donate alot of Money to Charity, he just stays above #2 and donates the rest of his money to charity it seems.. he could be way ahead of the second richest person on earth.
