Forbes Magazine reports that the wealthiest person in the world is now Carlos Slim Helu, of Mexico. Slim's personal fortune has been estimated at from $53.5 billion to $67.8 billion. Either figure tops the riches of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet (#2 and #3 on the Forbes list) and is also more than the $38.50 presently owned by Orville Fat Hummel, Pres. and CEO of Pointless Digressions.
Senor Slim is engaged in a number of enterprises, including telecommunications, amassing his fortune shrewdly, "one peso at a time."
Viewers are encouraged to send donations to the "Get Bill Gates Back On Top" fund. Cheques should be made out to Orville Fat Hummel, who will see that the money gets to the right place.
