Carlos Slim tops Forbes list of world's richest individuals. This year, his wealth grow to $74 billion, a boost of $20.5 billion from the year previous.
Besides the telecommunications company, Slim also has increasingly been taking steps outside of this industry. Particularly, precious metals and the energy sectors have caught his attention. In February, it was announced that the world's wealthiest individual had acquired a 70% stake in Colombia's Tabasco Oil.
Microsoft's Bill Gates and famed investor and Berkshire Hathaway chair Warren Buffett rounded out the top three positions, boasting $56 billion and $45 billion respectively.
Just below Slim, Gates, and Buffett was Bernard Arnault, the head of LVMH, who moved up three ticks from the year previous to No. 4. This was the biggest rank increase among the top 10 richest people.
Although his wealth jumped $2 billion over the past year, Aldi founder Karl Albrecht slipped to 12th from 10th the previous year. Wal-Mart's Christy Walton, whose wealth expanded by $4 billion to $26.5 billion, she is the world's richest woman.
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, with $13.5 billion, he sits at spot 52. This is a dramatic increase from last year when, with a fortune totaling $4 billion, he sat at spot 212. Actually, they all are amazing.
