If you do not Carlos Slim Helu already, very soon, you will want to be just like him once you find out how loaded and filthy rich this native of the Hispanic state of Mexico; more loaded than Microsoft creator Bill Gates. At an estimated worth of fifty three and a half billion US dollars (approximately thirty six billion British Pounds) Carlos Slim Helu has become the first non American citizen to be crowned the honor by Forbes in more than sixteen years ever since such an occurrence last took place in the annum of 1994.

So what has Carlos Slim Helu exactly done and been up to in the past to have gotten to where he has reached today? With his primary financial strength vested in the telecommunication industry, he has also ventured in to other industries and sectors that include posh restaurants, civil construction (roads and bridges) and also banks. When you add up all the various companies this man controls and owns in these sectors, they accumulate to about a “modest” two hundred.

Despite all the wealth that he has amassed over the years, Slim resorts to living in an abode that others would deem very humble considering his monetary worth. The house owned by Carlos Slim Helu has half a dozen bedrooms and a relatively simple swimming pool. Of course that is nothing compared to the abodes owned by Mr. Gates and Mr. Buffett from the USA, but the interior is filled with some of the most expensive and exquisite possessions you can possibly have.
