Many people are used to considering Bill Gates the first in this ranking. But it's been a delusion for 4 years now. In the ranking of "10 richest people in the world" Gates does not take the most honorable place. But let's go in order, from 10th place.

Even though Bettencourt, 90, is now retired, that hasn't stopped her from leading a fairly active lifestyle.
Eighth place goes to Li Ka-Shin. Li Shin is the most successful businessman not only in Asia, but also in the world. His fortune is equal to 31 billion dollars.

David, along with his brother, run the huge corporation Koch Industries, which they received from their father. Koch is involved in many types of business - from oil refining to the production of chemicals and even fertilizers. As we have already noted, David is assisted in the management of the company by his own brother. On the basis of this, they have some misunderstandings and conflicts.
Couldn't say that Charles Koch takes the next position, as Charles and David share their place of honor between two. Charles also has a fortune of $34 billion.

Closer to the top of fame "settled" Warren Buffett. His net worth is $53.5 billion. I would like to note that this position is not the best for Warren, because in previous years he was in the top three. Nevertheless, Buffett's income for 2012 is approximately $12 billion. Warren made his fortune mainly on investments. The Oracle of Omaha, as it is often called, is the most successful investor in the world.

The capital of the richest man in the world is 73 billion dollars. Carlos Slim made his main income at the telecommunications company America Movil. Carlos is also seriously involved in investments, has a stake in the banking sector and much more. One of the few "rich" who is absolutely cold about charitable work.
In conclusion, it can be noted that the richest person in the world is not the happiest person. Many of those on the list have serious problems in the family. Many of the rich people divorced and even more than once. Just like others, they have he alth problems and much more. Therefore, you should not envy such people, but rather build your own, truly happy life.
