Abstract

The article presents a profile of Carlos Slim, a Mexican entrepreneur whose personal fortune is estimated at $59 million, making him the world's wealthiest person. Slim invested heavily in Mexican businesses when the nation's economy was depressed in the 1980s, which built the foundation of his fortune as Mexico recovered. Slim's corporations are omnipresent in Mexico. Some economists state his political influence allows him to operate monopolies that impede its economic growth.
