Are Carlos Slim and Frida Kahlo Mexicos curse?
Tagged: america movil, Carlos Slim, Frida Kahlo, MexicoPosted on: July 26th, 2007“A controversy broke out earlier this month after the Mexican online business publication Sentido Comun announced that Carlos Slim Helu was the richest man in the world.
Carlos Slim, 67, is the son of Lebanese immigrants to Mexico who just last year added $6 billion to his fortune. He sold off holdings in MCI and Altria to apply the proceeds to holdings in Saks Inc. He increased his share of Mexico’s monopoly telephone company Telmex and in America Movil, a wireless telecom outfit. His manifold holdings extend to about 200 other businesses.”
