According to Forbes, two new records have been made this year 2011:
1) Total number of Billionaires (1210) and
2) combined wealth of them ($4.5 trillion).
The new comers to the list are mainly from Brazil, Russia, India and China. The most surprising is that Bill Gates now moved to the 2nd position and the person who has beaten him is Carlos Slim from Mexico.
