[rcgmustang]

[bikermaniac]

Hi I'm Mexican but I moved to the US due to work. When I hear that the richest man in the world is Mexican, far from feeling myself proud I feel ashamed. This weasel has make his fortune buying politicians and lawmakers to keep his monopoly untouched. He is not like the other rich guys in the world that make his fortune in free competition, he make it in unlawful game. Poor my compatriots, this money this thief has belong to them all. This sir has nothing to teach us about success. Shame on him!

[gmgm1104]

@bikermaniac estas completamente equivocado!

[Jesus19GLOBEz]

I'm Mexican-American I reap the benefits from both sides as well as the negatives. I'm too brown here I'm too white over there! fuck we Mexican Americans need our own country so we won't be felt left out on both sides

[Benjamingutierrez408]

@Jesus19GLOBEz what are you in mexicans are both dark and white nut head

[flip980]

@Jesus19GLOBEz just cuz your mexican american doesnt mean you can get a country.

and if you dont fit it with the mexicans.

go make a taco. that will help.

[newfish09]

@Jesus19GLOBEz forget what flip said, i understand

[Combatandrew]

o.o nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooo

WHY GOD WHY!?!?!?!

[scootering12345]

[matttatts]

[MvpNyc]

@matttatts ur gay., u can but lots of hamburgers.

[matttatts]

@MvpNyc well it seems we have a mesican stand off then

[spirittammyk]

I can guarantee he is not the richest man in the world, neither is Warren Buffet or half the people on the Forbes list. The truly richest men in the world keep it quiet. The majority of them run the Federal Reserve, and dictate what the UN will do.

[Danne9000]

@spirittammyk Yes, obviously. Stop being so ignorant will you?

[MvpNyc]

IF I WERE RICH LOOK HIM I WOULD BUY THE WOMEN IN THIS VIDEO <3333333333333

[nnnnnn7678]

Mexico is a second world country. Lets consider this a first world country needs to have at least the 10 larges economic, and Mexico has the 11 larges economic. Mexico is one step away from being a first world country. Mexico's GDP is $1,088 trillion dollars. USA GDP is $14.265 trillion, but everything that Mexicans buy in the USA goes to Mexico. Billionaires like Bill Gates richest men in the USA goes to invest in Mexico. Mexico is a second world country.

[EricPapiChulo1993]

Fuck the U.S I hope they crush more planes there u fucking bitches destroying our planet fucking faggots

[veergovsky]

poverty stricken is right, mexico is one of the poorest countries in latin america where the fabulous wealth that is known around the world is in the hand of 30 mega rich families or groups and the rest live hand to mouth. The government is the most corrupt in the region or perhaps the world and its people the most passive and ignorant in the world. All with the help of the media and the education system whose main goal is to keep the people uneducated and submissive.

[guy23232007]

@veergovsky Where did you go to high school to tell people not to go. You need to go school at least do your GD before you make comments about world economies. You sounds funny and ignorant, which country are you from? because when you find someone who thinks like you, will think your country is the most ignorant one.

[BntzCarlos]

@veergovsky Mexico one of the poorest countries in Latinamerica? After Cono Sur (Argentina, Chile and Uruguay) Mexico has the highest HDI in Latinamerica, and remember Mexico's population goes above 112 million, Cono Sur barely reaches 60 million. Maybe you need to take another look to Latinamerica's map, there are many countries in the region.

[BntzCarlos]

@veergovsky You are talking about ignorance...who's saying Mexico's society is probably one of the most ignorant in the wolrd? HAHA, education system is poor and not quite good like in other northamerican countries obviously, but you what you are saying is senseless really. Take another look to Mexico's statistics in a reliable source.

[onstageagain]

Our days are numbered... weather you think so or not...

One of the most interesting stories I've ever seen about this man and his cohorts ... On the Hal Lindsey Report... right here in You Tube... Check this out... Just not believable.

[seattlehawkins]

Love this!!!!! Carlos slim was "HANDED the telecom MONOPOLY! corruption, Murder, Shithole country.....and still BARELY makes # 1 XD HA HA USA #1

[nnnnnn7678]

USA has millions of millionaires. Canada has thousands of millionaires. Mexico has hundreds of millionaires. USA has 146 or more!! billionaires. Canada has ? of billionaires. Mexico has 12 or more!! billionaires. But out of millions (Hispanic,Latin) of millionaires from USA many millionaires go to live to Mexico at some point. Mexico really has thousands of millionaires around the country.

[kekio00]

we're getting better ;-))

[Juanelo4u]

hes my daddy ok?

[lucirz]

@X9Intelectual most likely he got connections with drug lords....a big percentage of the mexican economy is built on the illegal drug market

[X9Intelectual]

@lucirz You keep saying that, if you think that makes you smart, but what you just said, your dumb ass. Go study economics, and come back again.

[lucirz]

@X9Intelectual yes cause you are SOO smart, and you know everything, that's why you copy facts from wikipedia. do u deny that a big percentage of the mexican economy is built on drugs? do some research for yourself, cause right now, you sounds like an angry mexican spitting alot of BS. Yo no perderé tiempo con un idiota como tu.

[X9Intelectual]

@lucirz Yes, I deny what you say because I got prove. Mexico Pemex is 7# oil's supply seller worldwide. Pemex makes billions. Telmex 1# seller of communication's in all Latin America. Mexico 2# worldwide seller of construction material to any city like Dubai, Tokyo. Mexico has more than 12 billionaires including the richest men in the world. Mexico 1# food seller with USA. Around Mexico businesses of 800$ million dollars go around that bring billions. Mexico sells cars in Europe.

[X9Intelectual]

@lucirz Mexico has 4 giant companies world wide. Mexico elites are China, Spain, and all Latin America, and more countries in Asia. Mexican Chinese brought 206 million dollars to Mexico. Mexico has it's own satellite in space, and real soon were going to have Morelos. Mexico is being powered by solar power. Mexico economic makes computers, TV. The person who invented color TV was Mexican. Mexico's army is top 14# more powerful than Canada's army. 

[X9Intelectual]

Mexico city is richer than Phoenix, Philadelphia, Washington DC (once in a while), Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Atlanta, San Francisco/Oakland, Miami, Houston, and all the other cities in the USA except Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles are richer than Mexico city. Mexico city is a pool of money. The only cities you can compare Mexico with is Tokyo because Tokyo is the richest city in the world.

[X9Intelectual]

Mexico is 11#, 13#, 14# largest economic. Mexico is 8# richest city in the world. This means Mexico city is richer than any city in the USA except New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. There is only 7 cities in the world that are richer than Mexico city. Tokyo is the same sides of Mexico city. Mexico city makes 14 million dollars each year. Slim has 60 million$ each year, and Slim lives in Mexico city. 70% million dollars are in Mexico city constant with both Governor, and Slim.

[2hot4ever]

[MrTabuzo12]

[sogtulakkuat]

@2pac0110 are not millions, are billions D:

[mw0924]

i wish i was the richiest person in the world

[xxliivelaughlovexx]

dang he should help his country & give some money haha

[LEGOTO39]

I like Slim. I am very proud of him. No matter how he did it, you need to be a genius to reach that position. Fortunately, he is not selling anything illegal and whoever says he is a wretch s/he is wrong. To those who say Mexico us a poor country, it's the economy 12th in the world, and Mexico City, where Mr. Slim is from and made his business, is the 8th wealthiest city in the world, more than Washington DC, more than Hong Kong. Some people really insult out of spite and envy.

[Benjamingutierrez408]

@LEGOTO39 its not about the money its about the conditions that people live

[heatfilter]

@LEGOTO39 I'm amazed that there is nothing on Helu and all of the conspiracy theories behind NWO & all of that lot. My money is on Mexico FTW. Something really dramatic is going to happen when the U.S. hits rock bottom from it's never ending debt to the Federal Reserve. One of these days (when world war 3 breaks lose) the US will not be able to sustain itself on it's own and it will rely on Mexico. Canada is useless with all due respect. Google: Canada and Mexico vs the US: A Visual Comparison

[gmgm1104]

@LEGOTO39 you're right, greetings

[pakomonsi]

@LEGOTO39 es mi paisa legoto!!! jaja

[Austin101123]

i would give 53billion of it to mexico if i was him

[MrFiendster]

@Austin101123 completely agree.

[adanoreyes]

He is mexican period not lebanese he was born in mexico!

[puffy0619]

Another Mexican billionaire is the cartel leader Joaquin ''El Chapo'' Guzman,

and is included on the Forbes list.

[minerslicer1]

Hes deff. not slim :O

[1ceman999]

a indian dude died like 2 years ago and split his empire in 2 last here each of his sons empire were worth over 50billion us dollars

[rahya2008]

bravo!

[nepalfool]

i'm sure he is a mafia boss!!

[silverdemonz]

@nepalfool i'm sure you're jealous!!

[MrJorgie09]

DAMN!! wat a lucky ass, i wish i was dat rich

[BeautifulXable]

wondring what he does with all tht money.... if i got tht much id prolly give half of it to poor people.

[456hockeyrules]

holy shit. $53.5 billion

[oo17943]

although mexico has some wealth ,it is mostly concentrated among a small percentage of the people.

[IssaMJohnson]

DAMN WHERE CAN I MEET HIM? .lol.

[volure1]

lol i bet he is selling drug and mexico is so corrupt.

[N0RTHWEST]

@volure1 as a matter of fact, most of Mexico's drugs last destination is GRINGOS" and all countries has some level of corruption, at least Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, President of Mexico, WAS BORN in Mexico, not in Kenya.

[hotty1100]

it depends wat ur parents are n his parents are both lebanese so technically hes lebanese n i can tell he is.....my brother was born in america but hes full lebanese

[JuanJoseFaOrTi]

open ur eyes. many mexicans live way better that most americans. we have poor people who are wayyy worse than the US poor. but the mexican "middle" class is wayyy wealthier than the US middle class, just like the US upper class most of the time is wealthier than mexicos upper class... so u cant generalize.

[s0yasi]

@hotty1100: He is Méxican. Their grandpas were from lebanon, but he was born in México and loves his nation.

[hotty1100]

@s0yasi

both of his parents were lebanese so he is lebanese n so is his wife

[s0yasi]

@hotty1100: Are you stupid? He is MEXICAN! Their parents were from Lebanon, so what!? He has mexican nationality! Your position is so stupid, is the same if i say that there are not US citizens because all come from other nations, asshole!

[SunsetSideVet]

@hotty1100

Bill gates parents were Greek does that mean hes not American

[hotty1100]

@SunsetSideVet

yeah then hes geek but was born in the us......n i dont even care

[truekpone1027]

@hotty1100 there's alway a fly on a cake. is like saying that there are no US citizens because all their parents come from another country. with all respect.... don't be stupid.

[hotty1100]

@truekpone1027

its different with him cause his parents were born in lebanon...and in the

us honey, if your parents are born in another country but ur born in the us, ur still considered wat ur parents

[truekpone1027]

@hotty1100 he didn't became the richest man in Lebanon did he?? he became rich in mexico, grew up with mexican education and culture and i dont give a shit if his parents are lebannese or whatever, he was born in mexico so he is mexican period.

[hotty1100]

@truekpone1027

why are you still replying to something i said over a year ago?

[happy543210]

@truekpone1027 I find it amazing that the richest man on earth comes from a SHIT-HOLE third world country like Mexico. How IRONIC!

[happy543210]

@alejandroguta24 Hey, I've been to Mexico City and it's truly a fucking sewer! How else can I describe it? You need to be there to truly appreciate the sights, sounds and smells! The richest man in the world comes from Mexico while the rest of Mexico's citizens live in squalor. I stand by my original comment.

[rcs20cool]

@truekpone1027 typical stupid and ignorant american

[humansyndrome]

Cha0sStrike, Are you stupid? Mexico is a multicultural country.. and actually theres about a half million of mexicans of Lebanese decent.. yeah about 500,000... I am of lebanese decent myself and 100% MEXICAN! people are stupid.. is like saying that No american is real american and they are all just british or german.. and only apaches are AMERICANS.

[Cha0sStriker]

His father was Lebanese then he went to Mexico for business! Carlos isn't MEXICAN! He's a Lebanese descent ffs!

[senjara]

He was born in Mexico, raised in Mexico, made his fortune in Mexico, That guy is so Mexican he poops jalapeños...

[points2shopPROOF]

@senjara funny as hell dude xD

[ricksterga]

@Cha0sStriker like salma hayek

[Bajacaliwave]

It even bothers me when she refers to Mexico a developing nation. I been there, and yeah like all country there are places where people are really poor, but I have also visited cities where the quality of life is the same as Germany and Scandinavia.

[nevj100]

he is not even white person he is a mexican like me

[followerofenkisatan]

@nevj100

Actually he comes from Arab not Mexicans

though he is Mexican...

[meanmarkcallus]

Well with the worlds 11th largest economy of $1,578 trillion and with 9 billionares to their countries name and now with the worlds richest man mexico although face some challenges. Their slowly but surely rising good luck to all my mexcan bro's and sisters adios

by the way I'm from hawaii. Aloha to

[JungleListSoldier]

In a perfect world he would give away 90% of his fortune in chunks of $10k to the poorest Mexicans, there is no reason why one man should horde all that money. It's disgusting.

[JungleListSoldier]

@Ibalon2012 I never said he is lazy I said there is no reason why one man should horde that much money when 90% of his countrymen are starving. He is a monopolist, so maybe he isn't "ruining lives" but he is still unethical.

[Ibalon2012]

@JungleListSoldier but you agree the number one enemy is the laeaders of those cartels selling poison to their own coutruman and to those n orth of the border

[JuanJoseFaOrTi]

u should come to mexico one day (not the border states) but the actuall mexico... ud be surprised... 90% starving? hahaha u got that from nat geo? u need to stop repeating what ppl tell u and see for urself.

[JungleListSoldier]

Believe me, I'd love to go. But I can't afford the trip. It's pretty hard to pay for, food, bills, a house, and still have enough money for a vacation when you make only $13 an hour.

[truekpone1027]

@JungleListSoldier there's no surprise.. there is always a hater. uuu let me guess ur white.

[DonMiguel1810]

Interesting, Mexico is always labeled a "poverty stricken nation" - but its the 13th largest economy in the world - do they read?

[riobabilonia]

@DonMiguel1810 its labeled by "1st world" politicians, they must label so the ignorant "1st world" middle class will vote to elect them, even if they don´t have money to pay thair credit card debts, it makes them feel special. 10 years from now, all the 20 richest will be from "developing" nations, because that same "1st world" middle class is too heavy and expensive to built multi-billionaires and millionaires, but excellent to built credit card, mortgage debts etc...

[DonMiguel1810]

Lol... interesting take =]

[TheRockero17]

@DonMiguel1810 yeah its cause all of the goverment thats corrupted , mexico really needs anarchy if they wanna live how the economy deserves to all the people.

[silverdemonz]

@TheRockero17 It'll go to hell.

[blueberryday]

@DonMiguel1810 Yeah, México has a lot of money, but it's poorly distributed..

[sysdftpnk]

@DonMiguel1810 It's cause wealth is really not very balanced, there's a lot of money here in mexico but almost all of it is owned by a handful of people, and the rest are mostly poor

[9meno]

@DonMiguel1810  yes they read

[DonMiguel1810]

@9meno - And the fact that they do, makes it worse.

[darknesspein]

@DonMiguel1810 >.> of course we read

[johnny19az19]

@DonMiguel1810 tha means most of the worlds hurting

[DonLuccio08]

@DonMiguel1810 Indeed, Mexico is FAR from poverty-stricken, however it's image has been tarnished over the years. Hopefully, Slim, along with other prominent Mexican figures, will help to rebuild the global perception of Mexico.

[TimezUpRecordingz]

@DonLuccio08 well yea it is slowly recovering but think about it. right now we have a corrupt president in mexico who cares about nothing but himself. its gona be hard to give themselves a good image like its supposed to but im sure they will accomplish it.

[spikevalentine13]

@DonMiguel1810 Of 120 million in mexico, only half a million has money, and in greath lengths, you do the math...

[TimezUpRecordingz]

@DonMiguel1810 yes.... yes we do :)

[NorthSideCartel]

n@DonMiguel1810 13th largest economic that makes Mexico a Second World world country because when we check the richest countries in the world we first look at the 20 countries that are rich, and Mexico is at 13th place. A country that's in 21th to 30th is a third world country. Mexico already has first world cities like Monterrey, and the top 7# richest city in the world Mexico city. Mexico is not a 3th world country. Mexico was never a 3th world country.
