How do you feel about the fact that the richest man in the world–Carlos Slim Helu–is a Mexican?

" With more than 200 businesses, Carlos Slim Helu shapes virtually every industry under the Mexican sol. He’s got interests in telecom, retail, energy, tourism and banking.

Some folks in Mexico, where the average income is US$13,200 (less than 0.0000003% of Slim’s US$53.5 billion fortune), resent the mogul for being the richest man in the world. Slim has another take on commanding a staggering fortune. To him, it is a billionaire’s civic duty to leverage one’s resources into more wealth. "

He is of 100% Arab blood by two Arab parents.
He is a citizen of Mexico.

I feel the socialists would love to re-distribute his wealth.

    How do YOU feel that the shortest person that ever lived is from Nepal? Your question is pretty ridiculous.

    Gee, I thought Bill Gates was the richest person in the world. Helu is probably in the top ten, and, being a full-blooded Mexican myself, I say more power to him. Mexicans, for decades, were unable to make much money, or, in America, to enter certain places like restaurant and theatres.

    YOUR QUESTION IS RACIST. What if he is mexican? Are you going to tell me there are no poverty or misery in the US? Wake up, your government wants to show you the fucked up people around the world so you can make a wrong image…. let’s say, middle east? Latin America? or even Africa, that’s just a way to make middle class americans who actually can’t pay for their credit card debts to feel better about themselves and their country, and the world knows China and some other countries had to buy your debt because you’re not capable of financing yourselves.

    and for further information, he not only owns business in Mexico and Latin America, but in the US. So next time you buy at Saks or read the NYtimes think of mexicans taking over your tiny world.

    SO WHAT ALL OF YOU WHO DONT CARE ARE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU DONT THINK MEXICANS CAN ALSO BE SUCCESSFUL LIKE AMERICANS. YOUR QUESTION IS DUMB.
