Slim Makes Underwhelming Contribution to Mexico
Tagged: Carlos Slim, MexicoPosted on: April 9th, 2007“Each year, Forbes magazine publishes a list of the world’s billionaires. The 2007 list is headed up by Bill Gates, who is worth US$56 billion, followed up by investor Warren Buffet, at US$52 billion.
But do you know who the world’s third-richest man is? It’s none other than Mexican telecoms tycoon Carlos Slim, owner of Telmex and numerous other enterprises.
Carlos Slim is worth US$49 billion, which puts him just a scant US$3 billion behind Warren Buffet. By the time the 2008 list is published, Slim may be the world’s second-richest man.”
