Bill Gates is no longer the world's richest man in the world!

The Microsoft tycoon was edged out of the top spot of a new Forbes list top detailing the world’s richest people by Mexican telecommunications businessman Carlos Slim, who has an estimated $500 million more than Gates.

Gates, who held the title for 16 years, actually had a very profitable 2009, collecting another $13 billion after Microsoft shares rose about 50 percent.
