    Mexico's Carlos Slim has topped the latest Forbes magazine rich list, as his wealth grew by more than a third.

    The telecoms magnate's fortune rose by $20.5bn (£12.65bn) to $74bn, again beating Microsoft founder Bill Gates ($56bn) into second place.

    More than 200 people joined the billionaires list as their numbers rose to a new record of 1,210, Forbes said.


    And there's me thinking there's been some sort of recession / global economic crisis / downturn?
