The son of a Mexico City shopkeeper has built a staggering $59 billion fortune. This number puts him just ahead of perennial No. 1, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, whose net worth is estimated to be at least $58 billion.
Slim explained his life's work:
"Many people want to leave a better world for their children," he told the crowd. "I'm trying to leave better children for my world."
I thought this comment by Carlos Slim was very good. Impressed upon me that that the Lord has given me much, and much is required...I have a great responsibility!....for me that is to be a devoted Christ follower, show my children how I love my wife and their mother, and continue to and even do a better job of loving and nurturing my children, regardless of whether they are teenagers or adults.....
I do not know where this man stands spiritually...that is not my point....I cannot begin to fathom the dollars nor the desire for the money...but his words do speak to me.....
