Les Etats-Unis et la Vieille Europe poursuivent leur déclin dans la liste 2011 du magazine Forbes , qui confirme que le Mexicain Carlos Slim reste l'homme le plus riche du monde, et les pays du BRIC ( Brésil , Russie , Inde et Chine ) affichent une progression insolente. Pour la deuxième année consécutive dans le classement annuel du magazine, l'homme le plus riche du monde n'est plus un Américain, mais le Mexicain Carlos Slim (74 milliards de dollars), qui devance Bill Gates (56 milliards). Si ce n'était l'importance de ses donations, le cofondateur de Microsoft occuperait cependant la première place. En un an, le roi mexicain des télécommunications et sa famille ont accru leur patrimoine de plus de 20 milliards de dollars. Chez les puissants de la planète , la crise est bien oubliée : le nombre total de milliardaires est de 1 210 en 2011, un record absolu depuis les vingt-cinq ans d'existence de ce classement, et 214 de plus que l'an dernier.
