If one of these guys were to see $100 bill laying in the street they would make more money if they walk on by then to waste their time walking over and picking it up.

 
Wow, I thought for sure it would be a guy from China that would dethrone Mr. Gates.
Shows what I know.

Wrong they wouldnt be making money so picking up 100$ means they just got 100$ in their off time. If they were working and they saw it then it would be correct.

It's not virtually, he pretty much does. Most of the Mexican telecommunications infrastructure is owned by this guy, which doesn't help matters.

Bill's company makes a better suite of software than any other company
 
telecom my ass... he's probably shipping drugs over the border to make his fortune. like mark cuban.
 
And this is the guy that owns CompUSA. What's the point of closing all those stores down? It was only pocket change to him...

i sincerely doubt he's shipping drugs or funding it...its obviously possible but to just assume so because he's from Mexico is a bit rediculous. The US Government would have been on to him by now unless of course he's bribing them too!! 😛
 
This guy is actually Lebanese. I should add that Carlos Slim is a pretty cool name, never heard "Slim" as a last name before.
