Carlos Slim

Slim's telecom interests are only one part of a wider ownership network. Grupo Carso's 2024 reporting distinguishes retail, industry, infrastructure and construction, and energy; the family's financial interests also extend to Inbursa. The 1990 Telmex acquisition was undertaken with international partners, rather than as a solitary purchase. Tracing the separate companies reveals a diversified portfolio, while adding their entire market values would greatly overstate the wealth attributable to one individual.
