A new Forbes Rich List has been released today giving details of the world’s richest people. (There was a clue in the title, there!)

It ranks Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg as the youngest US self made billionaire ever. At the tender age of 23 he is now worth $1.5 billion after inventing one of the internet’s top social networking programmes as a way to keep in touch with his uni friends. Well, there’s a face for the girls to look out for!

Microsoft’s founder, Bill Gates is slipping. No longer listed by Forbes as the richest man, he has now fallen to third place behind Carlos Slim, the Mexican telecoms entrepreneur (never heard of him but he’s worth $30 billion so might be worth a look!)

Coming in first place was American investor Warren Buffet with an estimated fortune of £31 billion from his, erm, well, from investing. Not the best looking rich man but old so go for it girls!

Personally, I’m waiting for Roman Abromavich to come to his senses and realise he wants me. And no, it’s nothing to do with his measly £11.8 billion!
