Forbes have just published their annual rich list and Bill Gates has been knocked off the top spot by a Mexican billionaire. Carlos Slim has made his fortunes from the mobile phone industry and is now worth £35.7 billion.
This is the first time a non-American has topped the list since 1994. The highest British entry is at number 45, with the Duke of Westminster mustering up a measly £12 billion...loose change in the eyes of the billionaires obviously.
