Frickin’ ecstatic.

Forbes has just released its annual list of the world’s most obscenely wealthy people. Above, the top 4: Carlos (Telmex) Slim Helu, $74bn; Bill (Microsoft) Gates, $56bn; Warren (Berkshire Hathaway) Buffet, $50bn and Bernard (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy) Arnault, $41bn.

This year’s list broke records in size (1,210 billionaires) and total net worth ($4.5 trillion). China doubled its number of 10-figure fortunes, and Moscow now has more billionaires than any other city.
