The REAL Napster

That's pretty amazing. He was number 3 last year and Voila! Now he's number one?
Have to wonder how many of his fellow countrymen he's stepping on to reach that level.

<P>Mexican businessman Carlos Slim is now said to be the world's richest man. He 
is Latin America's leading business mogul, acquiring telecommunication assets 
and banking and retail businesses throughout the region and beyond. His massive 
increase in wealth in recent years should further increase public scrutiny of 
Slim and his business empire, particularly within Mexico.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.forbes.com/2007/08/08/mexico-slim-telmex-cz_0809oxfordanalytica.html?feed=rss_popstories">He is best known for his telecom business, which controls an increasing share of 
the region's fixed-line, Internet and wireless markets, and has blossomed thanks 
to a series of acquisitions. In Mexico, Slim's most important market, his 
telecom empire has faced criticism for high costs. Slim-owned company profits 
also benefit from his minimalist management style that prioritizes high profits 
and low overheads</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.forbes.com/2007/08/08/mexico-slim-telmex-cz_0809oxfordanalytica.html?feed=rss_popstories">Slim has been careful not to openly support any political party and has not
