北京时间3月12日，据国外媒体报道，《福布斯》杂志周三推出2009年全球富豪排行榜，微软联合创始人、董事长比尔·盖茨重新夺回全球首富的头衔，不过其资产较去年同期减少了180亿美元。
《福布斯》的排行榜显示，受全球经济衰退的影响，今年上榜富豪的平均净资产为30亿美元，较上年减少了23%。今年，共有793人上榜，远低于去年的1125人。美国依旧是全球富豪的聚集地，45%的上榜富豪来自于美国，占据了全球富豪总资产的44%。在过去的一年当中，共有656位富豪的资产缩水，但也有44名富豪的资产出现了增长。
受股价大跌的影响，去年的全球首富、股神沃伦·巴菲特资产减少了近250亿美元，退居第二。墨西哥电信大亨卡洛斯·斯利姆·赫鲁（Carlos Slim Helú）净资产减少了250亿美元，退居第三。
