Mr. Carlos Slim is the world's richest person since 2010, when his fortune was valued by Forbes Magazine at 53.5 billion dollars. In 2011 his fortune was over the 70 billion mark and still growing quickly.
How did he do it? Well, we are finding out, and we'll apply those processes, knowledge and stamina to our daily activities.
Born in 1940, he lives in Mexico City in a modest house, and has lived there for the last 40 years. He is a widower since 1999, and has 3 daughters and 3 sons from his one-time wife. He began investing and running companies in 1965, when he was 25. Today in 2011, at 71 years of age, he is still investing in more than 200 companies throughout the world while at the same time he manages a few of them, particularily those in the areas of mining and real estate; while his telecommunications empire and finance empire is run by his CEOs.
His physical appearance is very much like that of the greatest man on Wall Street, Sanford E. Weill, better known as Sandy Weill. Both have the same way of speaking and addressing an audience, and perhaps of making deals. Both strongly believe in being honest when doing a deal as well as in their long term business relationships, and in their own behavior as buisnessmen in the long run.
On the internet and on You Tube are perhaps the best places to learn more on the great attributes of Mr. Carlos Slim. As for Sandy Weill, there is the very well written biography about him called "Bringing Down the Walls."
