Forbes says there's a new richest man in the world. But other billionaire counters say nothing has changed.

In a story published Thursday night, Forbes said Amancio Ortega, the reclusive Spanish retailing magnate who founded Zara, has surpassed Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world. They say his fortune gained $1.7 billion on Thursday, and his net worth is now estimated to be $77.8 billion to $79.5 billion. Forbes estimates Gates' fortune to be $78.4 billion.

But it may be too early to declare Ortega the new Gates. Forbes' "real-time billionaire's list" still has Gates on top, with his $78.4 billion fortune topping Ortega's $78.1 billion. (Though perhaps Forbes hadn't updated it in real time).

The Bloomberg Billionaires Index has Gates nearly $10 billion ahead, with a net worth estimated at $89.7 billion and Ortega at $79.2 billion.

We'll see if Bloomberg updates its list or if other billionaire bean-counters like Wealth-X update theirs - or keep Gates as king.

And Ortega's rise may also be fleeting: He topped Gates briefly last year, according to Forbes, only to retreat to number two after his stock fell.

But whether it's Ortega or Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg, the world may soon have a more permanent number one after Gates has ruled the billionaire lists for over 15 years.

Nissan is proud of its GT-R's hand-built engines, and has released a rather excellent gallery of images to celebrate one of the car's lesser-known boasts. We saw it as a great opportunity to round up the best GT-R facts and technological features. Some you may know, some you may not. Here are the ten most interesting things about the Nissan GT-R...

The GT-R is the world's fastest accelerating production four-seater

The Nissan GT-R can accelerate from 0-60 in just 2.8sec, placing it alongside hypercar royalty such as the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari. It even matches the ultra-lightweight Caterham 620R despite weighing three times as much. And on an open stretch of tarmac the Nissan would have the clear advantage, with its 193mph top speed helping it easily blast away from a 155mph 620R.
It's the fastest four-seat production car around the Nurburgring
Incredibly, the GT-R recently lapped the Ring in 7m18.6s, which is 1.3sec quicker than Chevrolet's fastest production Corvette, the C6 ZR1. This also means that amazingly, the GT-R is one of the fastest production cars to ever lap the Nordschleife, placing it at the sharp end of a list that includes both exotic two-seater supercars and stripped out track-spec machinery.
Nissan GT-R engines are hand built by race engineers
Despite being one of the most technologically advanced production cars in the world, each one of the Nissan GT-R's engines are built entirely by hand by one of Nissan's four Takumi. These Takumi are more than just experts, they are perfectionists, who are also responsible for building every one of Nissan's racing GT-R engines. They apply the same level of meticulous detail to each and every engine, whether it is destined for the road or track.
The Nissan GT-R has near 50:50 weight distribution
In order to achieve perfect balance, Nissan's engineers worked hard to ensure the GT-R's weight distribution is comparable to that of a racing car. With the lightweight V6 up front and the transaxle sitting between the rear wheels, the weight distribution is split between front and rear almost perfectly. This brings a wealth of benefits to the car, enabling tremendous traction and sharper handling thanks to the car's much flatter posture.
The GT-R is more slippery than a Ferrari 458 Italia
You might not believe it, but the four-seat GT-R is more slippery through the air than Ferrari's 458 Italia supercar. With a drag coefficient of just 0.27, Nissan's GT-R beats the 458 by 0.06 despite sitting 6.1 inches higher than the Ferrari's 47.8in roof line. The GT-R's clever aerodynamics ensure that air resistance is minimised, whilst working the air in such a way that downforce is maximised at high speed.

The GT-R's gearbox changes gear as fast a Ferrari Enzo's

Just like the Ferari Enzo, it takes only 150ms to change gear in a Nissan GT-R. However, unlike the Enzo, the GT-R's twin-clutch paddleshift gearbox can be adjusted to change gear less harshly, or even driven in full automatic mode. The GT-R's gearbox is incredibly versatile, with the ability to shift like a supercar, or gently slide its way up the cogs.
The GT-R is better in the snow than an SUV
When it snows, don't bother reaching for the X5's keys; you'll be better off taking the GT-R. With its 'ATTESA E-TS' torque-vectoring four-wheel-drive system, power to the GT-R's wheels can be adjusted independently. This means in seriously low traction scenarios, the wheels with most grip will be utilised by the car's intelligent system.

The technology wasn't primarily designed for snow however; instead the independent four-wheel torque vectoring system was designed to help maximise traction off the line as well as at speed. The impressive acceleration times therefore owe thanks to this system.

The GT-R's suspension geometry can be adjusted at just the flick of a switch

The Nissan GT-R is fitted with complex suspension that allows the car to maintain stability at over 190mph, or ride without complaint across broken city tarmac. The GT-R's Bilstein DampTronic dampers feature sensors that enable the firmness to be adjusted at each corner in accordance with the driving conditions.

With the system set to R mode, the dampers work to ensure the body stays flat and the car maintains a solid ride. Whilst in Sport and Comfort modes, the dampers react to ensure the car maintains composure, whilst absorbing the bumps and inconsistent surfaces of public roads.
The Nissan GT-R is less thirsty than an Alfa Romeo 147
Okay so it's the 147 GTA model, but the GT-R's claimed figure still trumps the GTA's 23.3 combined mpg by 0.7mpg, despite being significantly faster and heavier. Matching the GT-R's number will be harder in the real world, of course, but there are rumours the next generation GT-R will be fitted with a hybrid electric motor, which would be sure to boost power and efficiency further. Could we one day see a GT-R achieving 30mpg?
The 2014 GT-R's nitrogen tyres can withstand a puncture at 124mph
With all this technological wizardry, it would be insane to forget about the single point of contact between the car and road. Thankfully Nissan hasn't forgotten, and due to having specifically designed run-flat tyres, the 2014 GT-R is being developed to withstand a flat tyre at a terrifying 124mph. These tyres not only bring added safety to driving, but also provide extra stability through less tyre wall flex, improving handling and increasing steering feedback.

Added to this increased tyre strength, Nissan also chooses to inflate its rubber with Nitrogen instead of compressed air. Nitrogen brings several improvements over air, but perhaps most significantly is its ability to remain at a stable pressure even under extreme temperature change. This means during times of fast driving, the tyres are less likely to overheat, therefore providing better grip for even longer.

It's common knowledge that Nelson Mandela served 27 years in prison, helped usher in the end of Apartheid, and was elected the first black president of South Africa in 1994. As incredible as those accomplishments are, they are far from the totality of why people all over the world are mourning his passing today at the age of 95. For those too young to remember Mandela's historic fight for racial equality (and didn't even manage to catch Invictus), here's a primer on some of the most fascinating aspects of the beloved icon's lifestory.

1. This man that changed the world grew up in a tiny village and was the first member of his family to attend school. His father, who served as a counselor to tribal chiefs, died when he was 9, and the boy was adopted by the Thembu regent, Chief JongintabaDalindyebo.

2. In 1952, Mandela and Oliver Tambo set up South Africa's first black-run law firm. They provided affordable legal counsel to blacks who had broken Apartheid-era laws. Mandela wrote in his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom, "I realized quickly what Mandela and Tambo meant to ordinary Africans. It was a place where they could come and find a sympathetic ear and a competent ally, a place where they would not be either turned away or cheated, a place where they might actually feel proud to be represented by men of their own skincolor."

3. He started off as a pacifist - then took up arms. Though he was initially committed to nonviolent protest, Mandela changed his stance in the early sixties and began advocating a sabotage campaign against the government. In 1961, he co-founded "Spear of the Nation" or , the militant wing of the African NationalCongress.

4. Mandela was a master of disguise and a genius at evading arrest. He was dubbed the Black Pimpernel for his legendary ability to escape capture. He frequently disguised himself as a fieldworker, a chauffeur, or achef.

5. He was dressed in a chauffeur's outfit when he was finally arrested. In 1962, Mandela was finally apprehended while driving with fellow activist Cecil Williams. In his biography, he wrote: "At Cedara, a small town just past Howick, I noticed a Ford V-8 filled with white men shoot past us on the right ... I knew in that instant that my life on the run was over with other leaders ofsabotage."

6. A courtroom speech about being ready to die helped save his life. Mandela's speech during his trial received international attention and was published as I Am Prepared to Die. Ironically, expressing a willingness to be executed helped spare him that fate, and Mandela was sentenced to life inprison.

7. In prison, he was highly skilled at secretly passing notes. During his incarceration on infamous Robben Island, Mandela and the other prisoners would communicate by leaving notes in discarded matchboxes, under piles of dirty dishes, and taped in toilet tanks. Using these methods, Mandela and the other prisoners organized a hunger strike and succeeded in their effort to improve their livingconditions.

8. He had a chance to get out of prison - and declined, on principle. In 1985 South African President Botha offered Mandela his freedom if he would agree to renounce armed struggle. He refused, saying, "What freedom am I being offered while the organization of the people remains banned? Only free men can negotiate. A prisoner cannot enter intocontracts."

9. When he finally got out, he only strengthened his fight against Apartheid. Immediately after his release from prison on February 11, 1990, Mandela urged supporters to increase pressure on South Africa's white minority government, and called on the international community to maintain its sanctions. "Now is the time to intensify the struggle on all fronts," he told the massive crowd. "To relax our efforts now would be a mistake which generations to come will not able toforgive."

10. He appeared in a Spike Lee film. Mandela has a cameo in 1992's Malcolm X as a teacher reciting one of the civil rights activist'sspeeches.

11. But he refused to deliver a certain line of Lee's script. Mandela declined to say the closing words "by any means necessary," so Spike Lee cut back to footage of Malcolm X sayingit.

12. He worked as hard to make peace as he did to bring down Apartheid. Prior to the 's triumph, many feared that South Africa would descend into civil war and that there would be mass acts of violent retribution. But President Mandela established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate human-rights abuses under Apartheid and largely avertedbloodshed.

13. His policies saved and improved innumerable lives. According to Anthony Sampson, Mandela's official biographer, by the end of his administration, "Three million people were connected to telephone lines and safe drinking water, 1.5 million children were brought into the education system, 500 clinics were upgraded or built, two million people were connected to the electricity grid and 750,000 houses were built providing shelter for nearly three millionpeople."

14. He used sports to bring the racially divided country together. Mandela saw national reconciliation as one of the most important tasks of his presidency. As covered in Invictus, one key moment came when South Africa hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup. While black South Africans despised the national rugby team, Springboks, Mandela encouraged them to support the team. When they faced New Zealand in the final, Mandela appeared in a Springboks jersey with captain Francois Pienaar's number on the back and the mostly white crowd erupted in cheers. After the team's win, Pienaar was asked what it was like to have "62,000 fans supporting you here in the stadium." He answered, "We didn't have 62,000 fans behind us. We had 43 million SouthAfricans."

15. He was open about his biggest mistake - and tried till the end to make up for it. Though Mandela has admitted that he didn't do enough to address the / crisis during his presidency, after he left office much of his work focused on combating the disease. He established the nonprofit organization 46664 (his prison number) in 2002, with the mission of promoting / prevention and awareness. In 2005, he announced that his 54-year-old son Makgatho Mandela had died of an illness related to . He urged South Africans to treat as an "ordinary" disease, instead of a curse for which "people will go to hell and not toheaven."

16. He probably won more awards than anyone in history. In addition to the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, Mandela has received more than 250 awards, including honorary degrees from more than 50 universities worldwide. In 2001, he became the first living person to be made an honorary Canadian citizen, and he was the last person to receive the Lenin Peace Prize from the SovietUnion.

17. There's now a global holiday in his honor. In 2009, the United Nations declared that Nelson Mandela International Day will be celebrated every year on July 18 (his birthday). The purpose of the day is to honor Mandela's legacy and promote communityservice.
