Thread: Carlos Slim now richest man in the world

Bill Gates is no longer the richest man in the world.Carlos Slim who lives in mexico has 59 billion + and growing.He has a sprawling 150 billion business and slim controlled compamies now make up one third of the 422 billion dollar stock exchange.Oddly enough.one would think that is presence would help mexico but along with about a dozen other super rich men in mexico they have monoplies which along with government help stop other countries and any attempt of private companies investing or growing in mexico.Mexico is not all dirt street and mud huts we all have seen on tv growing up .There are modern malls and gated communities,but only a small minority of mexicos people control all the wealth and prevent change and encourage illegal immigration to the united states.The list of things Carlos Slim owns and operates is too long, but go for yourself on the internet and look for yourself.I think it is important to point out Carlos ,because people for open borders blame United states and act like we owe illegals something,but never point out or go after Mexico for example rich and its corrupt government.

IMO citizens (USA) here are so concerned about having the richest Cartel (control) freak. We should be more concerned about small business and competition not who is best at controlling a niche in our daily lives!

Old news...this was a thread months ago.
