Forbes magazine's list of the world's richest people in 2007 shows that Bill Gates lost the throne of the world's richest man 13 years, and was pulled down by American investor Warren Buffett, who is known as the "stock god", and Gates only ranked third. Forbes pointed out that it is particularly interesting that in the current global financial market turmoil, investor Buffett can still win the championship in one fell swoop. Last June, Buffett announced that he would spend 85% of his wealth on charity. The magazine pointed out that although Buffett donates some assets every year, the share price of Berkshire Hathaway, which he leads, continues to soar. Last year, the stock god's personal assets increased by10 billion US dollars, and the total assets reached 62 billion US dollars. At present, Berkshire Hathaway has more than 60 branches, covering insurance, furniture, carpets, jewelry and other fields. It also runs restaurants and public utilities, and also invests in Coca-Cola Company and Anheuser-Busch International, which produces Budweiser beer. Carlos Slim, the Mexican telecommunications giant that ranked third when the ranking was announced last year, rose to second place with total assets of $60 billion. Slim used to be a stock trader, and the American mobile communication company he founded is currently the largest mobile phone company in Latin America. Buffett, Mexican telecom tycoon, Carlos Slim He Lu, and Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft, who has been the richest man since 1995, only ranked third this time, with a total personal assets of $58 billion. According to the list published by Forbes, the total assets of the global 1 125 billionaires reached 4.4 trillion US dollars last year, an increase of 179 over the previous year. Among them, there are 469 billionaires in the United States, with personal assets totaling10.6 trillion US dollars. It is worth mentioning that Russia ranked as high as 87th last year, surpassing Germany to become the country with the largest number of billionaires outside the United States. Moscow, the Russian capital, has become a "super-rich center", and the number of billionaires even exceeds that of new york. In addition, the number of Indians, China and Turks has also increased significantly. According to the latest list, 70% of the newly added rich people came from Russia, India, China and the United States.
