I definitely give them what you said about business savvy. But as in any formerly-public company acquisition process, those deals usually happen in shady ways and national enterprises (thus taxpayers) usually get royally screwed. Anyways, thinking that this or any other economic titan makes itself just because they're very very good would be very naive. Not justifying it though.

Let's not forget that Carlos Slim began his empire with the acquisition of TELMEX back in the early 90s. TELMEX was a government own meaning "for the people" telephone company and Carlos Salinas who was one of the most corrupted presidents of Mex privatized everything government owned and Slim was one the beneficiaries acquiring the telephone company at a fraction of its actual price. The question is how much money is Slim paying Salinas till this day for helping him become a multimillionaire or how much of Slims fortune is owned by Salinas? So the title of this Video is wrong. Slim doesn't own Mexico if you ask me. Slim might even be a Name lender for Salinas who is the real Big Dog in Mex. Salinas helped all of Mexicans who appear in Forbes Magazine acquire their fortunes so he is the Jefe de Jefes.
You rather have teléfonos de Mexico as it was? It never worked and customer service was just like any other government office; inept, corrupt and inefficient
@Miguelc271086 Let's not be naive, De la Madrid had purposely neglect a lot of the Government own companies like Airports, trains, mines, telephone etc and when Salinas came to power he didn't waste time. He neglected more those companies stating that the Government could keep up with the maintance cost so he then decided to privatized everything. Mexico naver saw any benefits. Now tell me did Telmex had better coverage and better prices after he acquired the Company? 30 something years after I still don't see Telmex with Coverage in small towns, is a 1 man show with no competitors. I have family in Iztapalapa Mex and calls drop due to problems with the telephone lines and I also have family in TJ and.... oh well not impressed with their customer service. Now he wants to buy Argentinas government own Phone Company. Good luck Argentina. They will see an increment in their phone bill, best believe. 👌

Great documentary! Now do Garza Sada's family, who were/are wealthier than Slim, excep that they keep their wealth under different family members and they own CEMEX, second largest concrete production companies in the world.
You forgot to mention that the ex president of Mexico Salinas de Gortari basically gave away Telmex to slim. Also how he gets his mining land for pennies on the dollar.
Your research is impressive. Congrats!... One little fact left out, perhaps trivial... Carlos Slim Jr. has been the main sponsor of Mexico's motor racing progress, specially in F1 behind Sergio "Checo" Perez who ended 2nd in the F1 Championship this year.
They are not middle eastern; they are Mexicans of Lebanese descent. Mexico is a multi/cultural country. It's like saying in America: Bill Gates, the British man that owns America.
There is a difference between Bill Gates, who is far removed from his origins. The Slim family still is in touch with their roots in Lebanon, and they still speak Arabic. I am from the Middle East, but born and raised in America. I still speak my native tongue, and my household culture is very much still connected with my ancestral homeland. I am a Middle Eastern American, just as the Slims are Middle Eastern Mexican. Please don't erase us.

family is like @ country, start 1 couple married get childrens for around 50 years? more-les they children married to OUSIDERS(good & bad new people ) camen inside of that family START to change to good and bad ideas all new and in around 100-200? years more_les that family is no longer 'THAT FAMILY" the ousiders change and destroy THEY BASE OF "THAT FAMILY" AND COUNTRY ARE THE SAME mix is no longer good when is to many diferents CULTURAS and diferents ideas and every one thing they are better of the others and when you open your eye IS TO LATE EXAMPLE =CHINE=over 6 thousands year 1 HUMAN RACE will control this world AND USA A 150? HUMAN RACE TOGETHER LOOK WATH CAN THE SHIT WE ARE IN, in around 300 years we no longer be USA. THINK - THINKING - THINK and you will UNDERSTANDING what I tract to say. GOOD BLESS AMERICA(AMERICA?? WHERE??)
He was the Elon Musk with a lot of Warren Buffett of his early years of his businesses successes. That mariner merchant Phoenecian DNA jet propelled him to become the Mexican businessman extrodinare. I use to watch his yachts pull into the Beaufort, SC marina docks. They cruised the inland waterway from Maine to Florida. His guests onboatd were always quietly sophisticated, humble and intetested in their surroundings in the sleepy little town where much of Fortest Gump was filled. They were calm visitors walking around the historical downtown while interacting with locals. This family has a strong work ethic buffered with respectful attitudes toward others. I experienc d that mysrlf.
The Phoenicians colonized Spain too, Spain colonized New Spain and mixed with the indigenous populations, New Spain became Mexico (and other Hispanic countries). By that logic, we Hispanics are all descendants of Phoenicians 🤦
You do know that most Mexicans have ancestry from Europe/Old World, and we are still Mexican?! Great info and presentation, just an odd title, would be nice to change it!
yeah, also corruption, lobbyism, and accomplishment played huge part, unfortunately this short documentary didn't mention anything about it, think of Slim like the Rockefeller's and their opportunistic ways into monopoly.
Land doesn't determine breed. A German shepherd born in USA is still a German shepherd. Henceforward always speak of folks by breed, and speak of homes by land.
Lets put it this way. If he was of African decent...and a billionaire in the same way, he would NOT be recognised as Mexican😏...and ya'll know thats a fact.
Also, there are old money families in Mexico that have been there for 500 years and more, the Slims are new in comparison. My own ancestors include the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II and Cortés, the first Viceroys, the first silver barons (the first millionaires in North America), the wealthiest woman in New Spain at the time, old families of Aztec & other Indigenous royalty (including a line to Nezahualcoyotl), the last conquistadors who were descendants of the even older ultimate fuedal lords in Spain, etc!! There are even ties from Mexican families to those such as the Monegasque royal family in Europe, the Grimaldis, or the Habsburgs, etc. Look up the Mexican nobility. Again, great info and nice presentation! I do not want you to think people are saying it’s badly written at all.
Much to do about European History of Mexico and its Conquers of the Indigenous Habitants of that Region, Vicente Guerrero, the First Black President of Mexico in the 1800s a Born and Indigenous son of Mexico....
@@msway836 Much to do about our own heritage?? That’s pure nonsense. Also, this shows you know little about Mexican history and are only filled in by leftist books from the US, because actual Mexican historians do not know anything for certain about Guerreros background. Furthermore, no portraits of him were made during his lifetime and those that were made posthumously cannot be reliable. Fellow insurgent José María Morelos described him as a "young man with bronzed or tanned skin ("broncineo" in Spanish), tall and strong, with an aquiline nose, bright and light-colored eyes and big sideburns". There is nothing about African features and you can’t prove anything from that description.
@@msway836 Also, I don’t think you read where I listed Aztecs. The Spaniards are not just “conquerors” of Mexico, they are our ancestors and 85% of Mexico has European heritage whether you like it or not.
Also, how would you know or not that the wealthiest woman in New Spain wasn’t an Aztec princess?? You have a lot of reading to do before you go around besmirching our heritage.
Meddle eastern family? Carlos is Mexican, born in Mexico, and lives in Mexico, he's of (meddle eastern ancestry). meddle eastern family? NO a Mexican family his not the only Mexican billionaire, theres many Arabs in Mexico, going back many years
No, call out the bs. He can definitely be from a.iddle eastern family organization and mexicans. Call out the bigotry that foriegn expats and the spanish who sell it out to them gets their domain whil oppresssing others and even cultural appropriating their oppression that they dont even talk about besides being dismissives of other premise of peoples of its region.
By the way you spell Meddel vs middle. Grab a dictionary- Define nationality and race my friend. Yes, he is Mexican born in Mexico, but Lebanon by origin. Chinese Mexican yes. Chinese by race. Got it. I had my opinion too, but for that last 20 years reading history, it will emotionally change you to a better person for better.
This is a very blessed humble family 💘😘🙏, God bless you abundantly am learning alot about this family and how to invest wisely and grow kid's towards the linage of entrepreneurship. Thank God 🙏 for the opportunity
Great video. However, This is only one family's success in Mexico. Mexico itself as a country, is richer than many might think. I recently traveled to Mexico for the holidays, and the economy is booming all over the country. The Mexican people were shopping and spending a lot of money prior to Christmas. Hard working people are making a good living according to the country's economy. Can't wait to see Mexico as a power house.
Excellent documentary. Hey if the Slims can make it legally and give back to the country I think we need more people like them.. although I've never heard of them b4 this show. Ty, keep up the gr8 doc's 👍
Mexico is an indusrrial power house But with african wages 60 million people living below poverty Everything cost more in mexico such as kitche aid cake mixer was 250.00 dollars in the usa but in mexico it was 500.00 Tires, flatscreens etc Carlos Slims wealth grew by 3X to 6X after 2008 since he owns minera frisco I do remember many years ago a european group entering the comminications sector....they spent over 500 million setting up their infracstructure and when it was time to talk about cell surcharge to use slims antennas he simply said somewhere around 4.00 dollars per minute.. yes 4.00 per minute. That pushed out the european group and he purchased thsir infrastructure for less then 40 million dollars. I would say Carlos Slim is a business shark and vwry serious. Although i would like to see him and his fellow billionares turn mexico in to the same exonomic power house that germany has done Change mexico to a better place were people dont need to go elsewhere for that financial dream
Lol are you high? Americans flock to mexico cus everything is cheaper. African wages??? Look at a map of gdp per capita. Where do you get your information???
The Maronite Christians of Lebanon are an amazing people who have brought prosperity to all the countries that they have migrated to. They fly under the radar, yet are successful in business, law, medicine, they are philanthropic, community minded. Think Danny Thomas , an entertainer who created St Judes Hospital.
Sinceramente no entiendo por que la gente le tiene tanto rencor a la familia Slim, Han hecho más por el país que inclusive muchos presidentes. En lugar de pensar en llegar a ser tan grande como ellos siempre tirándoles tierra y minimizando sus logros. Dicen que hizo todo tu dinero por sus palancas con expresidentes, pero es lo que haría cualquier empresario inteligente, es más, actualmente tiene una muy buena relación con el presidente actual AMLO y es contratista de varias de sus obras emblemáticas. Ha invertido en México cuando todos los demás salieron corriendo del país con su dinero. Lo tachan de oportunista, yo diría que tomó las mejores e inteligentes decisiones en los momentos precisos. Larga vida a la familia SLIM y que siga siendo ejemplo e impulso de muchos de nosotros para tener una mejor sociedad y un mejor país.
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Old Money Luxury is truly a gift; keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👏👏👏 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
The financial success of the Slim family is a stark contrast to successful prosecution and conviction of the actually guilty perpetrators of homicide in Mexico. Justice for the rich but no one else like everywhere, but especially in Mexico.
Great documentary about the slims but we will never forget that influence Carlos have with Salina so he got big discount on some of the things he bought from the government thanks so much
As a Mexican, this is offensive. The title is misleading. It implies that this family is from the Middle East, but it's not. It is Mexican. One thing is to be of Middle eastern descent and another thing coming from the Middle East. In that case you can call the Mexican president the Spanish president that rules Mexico since he has Spanish roots. Quite a stupid and misleading title. Please keep your racist division to your self. In Mexico you are either Mexican or not, regardless of your background. Mr Slim without a doubt is a very successful MEXICAN businessman that has been able to profit in his native Mexico and on the international arena.
No, call it out for what it is. They were apart of it and never like call it out and that basically going after criminal middle easterm mexican bottom bs. Apparently they cant never be aprt of genocide or so much other atrocities in late history. Its quiet pathetic of mexicans to claim anything about disrepect when they dont even have respect for themslves or their land.
It’s his nationality. Well, I guess here in America we are all Caucasian Americans. Do be offended that Mexico is mostly owned by the middle east/ chinese. We northerns are too. The middle east own us and republicans use that to control Americans daily lives through gas/oil. It’s gonna be alright- READ your true history and look up words you don’t understand.
Of course! Carlos slim is a very successful guy, but you got to understand that he knew how to take advantage of "la gran transa of 1988 to mexicans" by Carlos Salinas de Gortari and secuaces. ¡They betrayed the mexican working class people! And also "la rata" and his buddies dismantled the mexican state companies, too. They're big thieves!/ Saludos 🇲🇽🥸✌️

Very impressed with this entire family & their business acumen. Also very well done documentary. It seems that I was late to the game of discovering successful people. Now that I have begun this journey I look forward to finding others in this unique 1%! I surprisingly did well in my endeavors but am tiny compared to these BUSINESS GIANTS! I currently follow Elon Musk!
How many hospitals, schools, and factories has this wealth given birth to ? Then they get my attention. The drug artels build, so they get power over the people that way. Which is better for the common people of Mexico ?
It is a great family and success story, no reason to be jealous about the Slims. It amazes me how great they did in a socialistic country. By what I heard in this video the Slims are a blessing for Mexico.
Well as in every former socialist country, the neoliberals rose to power and gave up state run companies for pennies on the dollar to rich individuals. In Mr. Slim’s case it was the telecom companies which he has a monopoly on.
Mexico is far from a socialist country. They don't really have any safety nets for their citizenry. They don't really tax people. You're pretty much on your own in Mexico.
For their pockets yes. Read about the history on corruption w mostly all European Mexican presidents. Insane! He was buddies w a couple and it mostly contributed to his banking, just like here in Amerikkka.
If he is in controlling of Mexico, then he profits from the exporting of drugs and trafficking in humans for prostitution and involuntary giving of organs for transplanting.
Damn, I didn’t know he’s Lebanese-Mexican. Lebanese are also huge in business in many west African countries. They get sweet financing from Middle East money and leverage it wisely.
Difference is he live therr for over a century. His family. West africans invaded by arabs because blacks cant run things. And also west africans worship anything thats not black
Well but we must take account that Carlos Slim is mexican and he has being mexican since always, his sons are more than mexican. They live here, married here, developed here and will die here. So his lebanese origins are not really important, well they are because he support lebanese people living in Mexico, but again: in Mexico. He has nothing absolutely nothing to do with middle east. So the title of this video is kind of misleading. No middle eastern nor european or american owns Mexico or any really big enterprise in Mexico.
Land doesn't determine breed. A German shepherd born in USA is still a German shepherd. Henceforward always speak of folks by breed, and speak of homes by land.
Carlos Slim is Mexican. In that case, you would be calling us Mexicans: Spaniards, Frenchs Africans, italians, and Germans. We come from everywhere. We clled our self Mexicans doesn't matter where you're from. Unlike the US, they like to label everyone as immigrants even though they have been there for decades even centuries.
Though I used such names in my writings, it's fine and ok to splurge on yourself for all the hard work and earnings you make, but along with it one must not forget society around which helped pitched in your profits, even if it is for your own kind race a must way of enjoying your wealth / profits, you can have your name embossed on that , that is fine as long as it helps others.
Who paid this video ? What I know from other videos something is missing in this one , other videos said a different story about the way SliM made his 'early' money in Mexico ( when he start doing business ) , we can not denied that Mexico is so corrupt specially the last 6 or 7 decades , finally it seems is getting better ( or maybe the news lies too, who knows )
The SLIMs are HEAVY DUTY Business People, in more ways than one. But as we say in England 🇬🇧, You Might get SLIM on Lemon 🍋Juice, but Never on SUNDAYS 🍨🍧🍦🍮 ! Well, You can Never be TOO RICH or TOO THIN , or SLIM ! 😻🤑💚🥂💶💵💷💸💴💲💲💱💲💰💵💸💷💱😊

family is like @ country, start 1 couple married get childrens for around 50 years? more-les they children married to OUSIDERS(good & bad new people ) camen inside of that family START to change to good and bad ideas all new and in around 100-200? years more_les that family is no longer 'THAT FAMILY" the ousiders change and destroy THEY BASE OF "THAT FAMILY" AND COUNTRY ARE THE SAME mix is no longer good when is to many diferents CULTURAS and diferents ideas and every one thing they are better of the others and when you open your eye IS TO LATE EXAMPLE =CHINE=over 6 thousands year 1 HUMAN RACE will control this world AND USA A 150? HUMAN RACE TOGETHER LOOK WATH CAN THE SHIT WE ARE IN, in around 300 years we no longer be USA. THINK - THINKING - THINK and you will UNDERSTANDING what I tract to say. GOOD BLESS AMERICA(AMERICA??

He was the Elon Musk with a lot of Warren Buffett of his early years of his businesses successes. That mariner merchant Phoenecian DNA jet propelled him to become the Mexican businessman extrodinare. I use to watch his yachts pull into the Beaufort, SC marina docks. They cruised the inland waterway from Maine to Florida. His guests onboatd were always quietly sophisticated, humble and intetested in their surroundings in the sleepy little town where much of Fortest Gump was filled. They were calm visitors walking around the historical downtown while interacting with locals. This family has a strong work ethic buffered with respectful attitudes toward others. I experienc d that mysrlf.
The Phoenicians colonized Spain too, Spain colonized New Spain and mixed with the indigenous populations, New Spain became Mexico (and other Hispanic countries). By that logic, we Hispanics are all descendants of Phoenicians 🤦
You do know that most Mexicans have ancestry from Europe/Old World, and we are still Mexican?! Great info and presentation, just an odd title, would be nice to change it!
@RyanL-Y What’s really funny is that statistics show 80% of Mexico has European ancestry.
@RyanL-Y Yes, I know, it’s called genetics
That’s the way real wealth, power, and heart do it. Beautiful family and role model for big wealth to emulate.
yeah, also corruption, lobbyism, and accomplishment played huge part, unfortunately this short documentary didn't mention anything about it, think of Slim like the Rockefeller's and their opportunistic ways into monopoly.
Carlos Slim Helú was born in Mexico and has middle eastern ancestry, yes he owns Mexico many things.
Carlos slim was born in Mexico so is Mexican.
Yes is 100 percent arabic blood. They rarely marry out.
Land doesn't determine breed. A German shepherd born in USA is still a German shepherd. Henceforward always speak of folks by breed, and speak of homes by land.
Lets put it this way. If he was of African decent...and a billionaire in the same way, he would NOT be recognised as Mexican😏...and ya'll know thats a fact.

Also, there are old money families in Mexico that have been there for 500 years and more, the Slims are new in comparison. My own ancestors include the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II and Cortés, the first Viceroys, the first silver barons (the first millionaires in North America), the wealthiest woman in New Spain at the time, old families of Aztec & other Indigenous royalty (including a line to Nezahualcoyotl), the last conquistadors who were descendants of the even older ultimate fuedal lords in Spain, etc!! There are even ties from Mexican families to those such as the Monegasque royal family in Europe, the Grimaldis, or the Habsburgs, etc. Look up the Mexican nobility. Again, great info and nice presentation! I do not want you to think people are saying it’s badly written at all.
😮
Much to do about European History of Mexico and its Conquers of the Indigenous Habitants of that Region, Vicente Guerrero, the First Black President of Mexico in the 1800s a Born and Indigenous son of Mexico....
@@msway836 Much to do about our own heritage?? That’s pure nonsense. Also, this shows you know little about Mexican history and are only filled in by leftist books from the US, because actual Mexican historians do not know anything for certain about Guerreros background. Furthermore, no portraits of him were made during his lifetime and those that were made posthumously cannot be reliable. Fellow insurgent José María Morelos described him as a "young man with bronzed or tanned skin ("broncineo" in Spanish), tall and strong, with an aquiline nose, bright and light-colored eyes and big sideburns". There is nothing about African features and you can’t prove anything from that description.
@@msway836 Also, I don’t think you read where I listed Aztecs. The Spaniards are not just “conquerors” of Mexico, they are our ancestors and 85% of Mexico has European heritage whether you like it or not.
Also, how would you know or not that the wealthiest woman in New Spain wasn’t an Aztec princess?? You have a lot of reading to do before you go around besmirching our heritage.
Meddle eastern family? Carlos is Mexican, born in Mexico, and lives in Mexico, he's of (meddle eastern ancestry). meddle eastern family? NO a Mexican family his not the only Mexican billionaire, theres many Arabs in Mexico, going back many years
No, call out the bs. He can definitely be from a.iddle eastern family organization and mexicans. Call out the bigotry that foriegn expats and the spanish who sell it out to them gets their domain whil oppresssing others and even cultural appropriating their oppression that they dont even talk about besides being dismissives of other premise of peoples of its region.
Does he speak Lebanon?
By the way you spell Meddel vs middle. Grab a dictionary- Define nationality and race my friend. Yes, he is Mexican born in Mexico, but Lebanon by origin. Chinese Mexican yes. Chinese by race. Got it. I had my opinion too, but for that last 20 years reading history, it will emotionally change you to a better person for better.

Lebanon has a population of 5 million , but Lebanese merchants are all over the universe. Phoenician in our blood. God bless all humans
This is a very blessed humble family 💘😘🙏, God bless you abundantly am learning alot about this family and how to invest wisely and grow kid's towards the linage of entrepreneurship. Thank God 🙏 for the opportunity
Great video. However, This is only one family's success in Mexico. Mexico itself as a country, is richer than many might think. I recently traveled to Mexico for the holidays, and the economy is booming all over the country. The Mexican people were shopping and spending a lot of money prior to Christmas. Hard working people are making a good living according to the country's economy. Can't wait to see Mexico as a power house.
W/out AMLO, without Narcos. With security, and solid education to all Mexicans, rich and poor, Mexico will progress!
Excellent documentary. Hey if the Slims can make it legally and give back to the country I think we need more people like them.. although I've never heard of them b4 this show. Ty, keep up the gr8 doc's 👍
Thanks!
Mexico is an indusrrial power house But with african wages
60 million people living below poverty
Everything cost more in mexico such as kitche aid cake mixer was 250.00 dollars in the usa but in mexico it was 500.00
Tires, flatscreens etc
Carlos Slims wealth grew by 3X to 6X after 2008 since he owns minera frisco
I do remember many years ago a european group entering the comminications sector....they spent over 500 million setting up their infracstructure and when it was time to talk about cell surcharge to use slims antennas he simply said somewhere around 4.00 dollars per minute.. yes 4.00 per minute. That pushed out the european group and he purchased thsir infrastructure for less then 40 million dollars.
I would say Carlos Slim is a business shark and vwry serious. Although i would like to see him and his fellow billionares turn mexico in to the same exonomic power house that germany has done
Change mexico to a better place were people dont need to go elsewhere for that financial dream
Yeah hes like that lol
Lol are you high? Americans flock to mexico cus everything is cheaper. African wages??? Look at a map of gdp per capita. Where do you get your information???
Oh México will be a big power house in the future, it’s being forecast already by many. Not all Mexicans will benefit from that though.
Put your attention to Mexico leave Africa alone.
Mexican drive, fundamentals and unity in family power.
Salma Hayek is half Lebanese and is gorgeous so keep coming. 😊
I thought she was full. Guess I was wrong.
One of the sons got to nail model Elsa Benitez, one of the most beautiful Mexican women ever. That in itself is very impressive
Great and informative documentary thanks for sharing 👍
Our pleasure!
The Maronite Christians of Lebanon are an amazing people who have brought prosperity to all the countries that they have migrated to. They fly under the radar, yet are successful in business, law, medicine, they are philanthropic, community minded. Think Danny Thomas , an entertainer who created St Judes Hospital.
Sinceramente no entiendo por que la gente le tiene tanto rencor a la familia Slim, Han hecho más por el país que inclusive muchos presidentes. En lugar de pensar en llegar a ser tan grande como ellos siempre tirándoles tierra y minimizando sus logros. Dicen que hizo todo tu dinero por sus palancas con expresidentes, pero es lo que haría cualquier empresario inteligente, es más, actualmente tiene una muy buena relación con el presidente actual AMLO y es contratista de varias de sus obras emblemáticas. Ha invertido en México cuando todos los demás salieron corriendo del país con su dinero. Lo tachan de oportunista, yo diría que tomó las mejores e inteligentes decisiones en los momentos precisos.
Larga vida a la familia SLIM y que siga siendo ejemplo e impulso de muchos de nosotros para tener una mejor sociedad y un mejor país.
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Old Money Luxury is truly a gift; keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👏👏👏 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
A gift.
Priceless.
Hell yeah!
I approve this message!
Cheers! Such an honor to serve. We have many more coming in 2024 :)
The financial success of the Slim family is a stark contrast to successful prosecution and conviction of the actually guilty perpetrators of homicide in Mexico. Justice for the rich but no one else like everywhere, but especially in Mexico.
Nice clickbait title. He's a second generation mexican. Its a mexican family with Lebanese ancestry.
Great documentary about the slims but we will never forget that influence Carlos have with Salina so he got big discount on some of the things he bought from the government thanks so much
This man is very smart and serious about business.
Obviously Very organised and with traditions female.I wish them good luck.

They have Lebanese roots but they're mexican like everyone else
He was born in Mexico he Mexican
As a Mexican, this is offensive. The title is misleading. It implies that this family is from the Middle East, but it's not. It is Mexican. One thing is to be of Middle eastern descent and another thing coming from the Middle East. In that case you can call the Mexican president the Spanish president that rules Mexico since he has Spanish roots. Quite a stupid and misleading title. Please keep your racist division to your self. In Mexico you are either Mexican or not, regardless of your background. Mr Slim without a doubt is a very successful MEXICAN businessman that has been able to profit in his native Mexico and on the international arena.
No, call it out for what it is. They were apart of it and never like call it out and that basically going after criminal middle easterm mexican bottom bs. Apparently they cant never be aprt of genocide or so much other atrocities in late history. Its quiet pathetic of mexicans to claim anything about disrepect when they dont even have respect for themslves or their land.
It’s his nationality. Well, I guess here in America we are all Caucasian Americans. Do be offended that Mexico is mostly owned by the middle east/ chinese. We northerns are too. The middle east own us and republicans use that to control Americans daily lives through gas/oil.
It’s gonna be alright- READ your true history and look up words you don’t understand.
Of course! Carlos slim is a very successful guy, but you got to understand that he knew how to take advantage of "la gran transa of 1988 to mexicans" by Carlos Salinas de Gortari and secuaces. ¡They betrayed the mexican working class people! And also "la rata" and his buddies dismantled the mexican state companies, too. They're big thieves!/ Saludos 🇲🇽🥸✌️
Hi am very happy for Mr. Slim and is family, I just wish I could do what he did in Mexico do in the USA. I need a lot of good luck!!!

Now that I have begun this journey I look forward to finding others in this unique 1%! I surprisingly did well in my endeavors but am tiny compared to these BUSINESS GIANTS! I currently follow Elon Musk!
How many hospitals, schools, and factories has this wealth given birth to ? Then they get my attention. The drug artels build, so they get power over the people that way. Which is better for the common people of Mexico ?
¿Why you didn't mention Carlos Salinas?
Good for them! God bless!
Mexican with Lebanese ancestry, there I fixed it for you. By the way, I also have Levantine ancestry and that doesn’t make me middle eastern.
He put by Carlos Salina De gortari
It is a great family and success story, no reason to be jealous about the Slims. It amazes me how great
they did in a socialistic country. By what I heard in this video the Slims are a blessing for Mexico.
Well as in every former socialist country, the neoliberals rose to power and gave up state run companies for pennies on the dollar to rich individuals. In Mr. Slim’s case it was the telecom companies which he has a monopoly on.
socialistic country???? I think you are wrong on that
Mexico is far from a socialist country. They don't really have any safety nets for their citizenry. They don't really tax people. You're pretty much on your own in Mexico.
Nah, they arent but i see yall propagande bots on full display.
For their pockets yes. Read about the history on corruption w mostly all European Mexican presidents. Insane! He was buddies w a couple and it mostly contributed to his banking, just like here in Amerikkka.
Fun fact, A famous architect in mexico married carlos daughter. Before this he couldnt land any job
Now that the family has billions they can marry into the Mexican blue blood society.
BRAVO !
If he is in controlling of Mexico, then he profits from the exporting of drugs and trafficking in humans for prostitution and involuntary giving of organs for transplanting.
Damn, I didn’t know he’s Lebanese-Mexican. Lebanese are also huge in business in many west African countries. They get sweet financing from Middle East money and leverage it wisely.
Difference is he live therr for over a century. His family. West africans invaded by arabs because blacks cant run things. And also west africans worship anything thats not black
Last time I checked they are all Mexicans not middle eastern
He is one of those people who are humble and hardworking. Thank you Slim GOD BLESS YOU
"It was a calculated movement."
Wow. I wish I could learn something from the Slim family, even if they said hello Cedric.
Well but we must take account that Carlos Slim is mexican and he has being mexican since always, his sons are more than mexican. They live here, married here, developed here and will die here. So his lebanese origins are not really important, well they are because he support lebanese people living in Mexico, but again: in Mexico. He has nothing absolutely nothing to do with middle east. So the title of this video is kind of misleading. No middle eastern nor european or american owns Mexico or any really big enterprise in Mexico.
Amazing! Smart great family!!
THEN, ACCORDING TO YOUR TITLE WE COULD SAY ELON MUSK THE SOUTHAFRICAN THAT OWNS THE US RIGHT ?
2:46 Salma Hayek's father is also Mexican of Lebanese descent. She looks middle Eastern to me.
Why would you say Middle Eastern? I mean yeah, that's their ancestry but they are as mexican as it gets.

We clled our self Mexicans doesn't matter where you're from. Unlike the US, they like to label everyone as immigrants even though they have been there for decades even centuries.

Though I used such names in my writings, it's fine and ok to splurge on yourself for all the hard work and earnings you make, but along with it one must not forget society around which helped pitched in your profits, even if it is for your own kind race a must way of enjoying your wealth / profits, you can have your name embossed on that , that is fine as long as it helps others.
Who paid this video ? What I know from other videos something is missing in this one , other videos said a different story about the way SliM made his 'early' money in Mexico ( when he start doing business ) , we can not denied that Mexico is so corrupt specially the last 6 or 7 decades , finally it seems is getting better ( or maybe the news lies too, who knows )
