VLMIL Candidate #15: Carlos Slim » VivirLatino
Tagged: Carlos Slim, children, Mexico, mexico city“Carlos Slim HelÚ was born the son of Lebanese immigrant shop owners in Mexico City. From Wikipedia: “His father Julián Slim (Yusef Salim) Haddad, a Lebanese Maronite Christian, fled as a teenager to Mexico City in 1902, to escape the harsh military rule of the Ottoman Turks. Julián established a dry goods store called La Estrella del Oriente (Star or the Orient) in 1911, and shrewdly bought up some prime real estate in the city centre. Julián married the daughter of another prosperous Lebanese merchant, and had six children, of which Carlos was the fifth.”"
