When I heard an issue about the world's richest man, I've got interested to know how these men made their fortunes. Mostly, people inherited their fortunes from their parents or decedents. Only few successfully made their fortunes by their own industry.
Among the top richest men were Bill Gates
, whose title as the richest man in the world has been retained and known in a decades. Two years ago, Gates falls to the second richest man which was grabbed by Warren Buffett followed by Carlos Slim. Mr. Gates was able to regain his title last year.

Carlos Slim Helu also known as Carlos Slim, 70, is from Mexico, a magnate in telecommunications. Last year, he ranked number three of the richest. The reason why Slim move to the top is that Gates and Buffett parted their billions to the charitable institutions while Slim donates selectively. Slim stand to his philosophy "Wealth must be seen as a responsibility, not as a privilege. The responsibility is to create more wealth. It's like having an orchard; you have to give away the fruit, but not the trees."

Its 107 million populace, more than 50 million of which live in poverty. Food, shelter, education, transportation and clothing are the primary shouts to be resolved.
Ernesto Villanueva, 45, of Mexico City said "This is shameful. This is part of what is wrong with the Mexican political system and the corruption in the circles of power, that allow there to be a few rich people and millions of poor."
