*born ’28 january 1940’*
.
(in ‘mexico city’)
(father of padua)
(to lebanese immigrants no less!)
(youngest of 6 children)
(father purchased real estate in downtown mexico)
(studied engineering at the “Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México”)
(by the time he was 26 years old, his net worth was $40 million)
(he married Soumaya Domit Gemayel (Arabic سمية جميل), also a Lebanese-Mexican, in 1967)
(they had 6 children and were married for 32 years until ‘domit’ died of a kidney ailment in 1999)
(the youngest of their 3 daughters, Johanna, is married to Arturo Elías Ayub, a board member of some of slim’s companies)
(‘slim’ gained notoriety when he led a group of investors that included France Télécom and Southwestern Bell Corporation in buying Telmex and Telnor from the Mexican government in 1990 in a public tender during the presidency of Carlos Salinas)
CEO of Telmex, Telcel and América Móvil
(wealthiest man in the world)
(as of ‘april 2010’)
($60.6 billion)
(sons Carlos, Marco Antonio and Patrick Slim Domit run the day-to-day operations of Telmex, Telcel, and “América Móvil”)
(the mexican magnate’s rising fortune has caused a controversy because it has been amassed in a developing country where per capita income does not surpass $14,500 a year, and nearly 17% of the population lives in poverty)
(critics claim that ‘slim’ is a monopolist, pointing to Telmex’s control of 90% of the Mexican landline telephone market)
(slim’s wealth is the equivalent of roughly 5% of Mexico’s annual economic output.Telmex, which is 49.1% owned by Slim and his family, charges among the highest usage fees in the world, according to the “Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development”)
(according to Professor Celso Garrido, an economist at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Slim’s domination of his country’s conglomerates chokes off growth of smaller companies, resulting in a shortage of good jobs and driving many Mexicans to seek better lives north of the ‘rio grande’)
(according to The Wall Street Journal, Slim credits part of his ability to discover investment opportunities early to the writings of his friend, futurist author ‘Alvin Toffler’)
(‘slim’ says he is unfazed by the criticism…)
“When you live for others’ opinions, you are dead.
I don’t want to live thinking about how I’ll be remembered”
(he also claims indifference about his ranking and says he has no interest in becoming the world’s richest person)
(when asked to explain his sudden increase in wealth at a press conference soon after ‘forbes’ annual rankings were published, he reportedly said, “the stock market goes up … and down”, and noted that his fortune could quickly drop)
(how profound!)
