Who the fuck is Carlos Slim?
Carlos Slim was just declared the richest man in the world by Forbes magazine. He has ousted Bill Gates from the top spot, with an estimated wealth at $53.5 billion. Slim
Slim's spokesman refused to confirm the Forbes estimate to the BBC but said:
"We're pleased that he has been considered the best businessman of the world."
Slim made his billions in telecommunications. He also owns restaurants, cement, and financial institutions. In 2008 Carlos Slim bought 6.4% of The New York Times Company. His companies Telmex, Telcel, and América Móvil have expanded throughout the Americas.
Last year, I visited Colombia. I was surprised to see cable service provided by Telmex. I met a cable guy who worked for the company. He told me his theory of Carlos Slim's plans for world domination.
"Slim is going to purchase every telecommunications firm in Latin America. With this huge subscriber-base he'll be able to compete in the United States"
I know that's fouth-hand information, but you should either protest, or buy thousands of stocks.
I like Carlos Slim for two reasons.
Centro Histórico was in decline for decades. In 2000 Slim created the a foundation to revitalize the area. Today, you don't have to worry about getting mugged. The neighborhood has cool bars, cafes, and art openings.
Carlos Slim owns Sanborn's, a chain of restaurants. I really like their soup.
That's what I know about Carlos Slim.
