Cool World's Richest Person from Mexico
Move over, Bill Gates. There is a new "world's richest person," and he's from Mexico. Globalization at work: http://www.businessweek.com/news/201...st-person.html

Speaking of billionaires ...

Public Storage's Wayne Hughes made the Forbes list.

Bill Gates would still hold that position if he weren't such a philanthropist.

This is true. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gives more to charity than most countries do.

Then again, I don't know if those contributions are deducted or still included in the way they calculate the list.

It is interesting that Public Storage's president made the list, though.
