I do not know what my feels like if I am considered as a rich person around the world. Will I happy because of that? I know I’m rich just by my size, according to my needs, and I should be grateful of that.

I just read in some news on the internet about Carlos Slim Helu. Who is he? Carlos Slim Helu was just crowned as the World Richest Man by Forbes. Helu, a Mexican tycoon, has shot to the number one spot on Forbes list of World Billionaires for 2010.

Helu’s fortune is estimated to be worth $53.5 billion–that’s $18.5 billion more than his money 12 months ago. Shares of America Movil (AMX), of which Slim owns a $23 billion stake, were up 35% in a year.

Bill Gates, worth a mere $53 billion, has the #2 spot, an unfamiliar home for the Microsoft co-founder, who has been at the top of the list 14 of the last 15 years. Warren Buffet came in third, with an estimated $47 billion.

I also surprised to know that one of Indonesian, Martua Sitorus is the one of the 1000 list of world’s richest people by Forbes. Last year he was ranked 522 in the world’s richest with a net worth of U.S. $ 1.4 billion, now worth Martua increased to U.S. $ 3.0 billion. And his position now is on 316 the richest.

Martua had carried the 7th richest man in Indonesia 2007 and to be the 14th in the 2006 from the version of the same magazine. Although Indonesian nationals, he currently lives in Singapore while driving all the business-business.
