Carlos Slim
The Guardian
What holds, and what fails, under pressure, standards and accountability.
Carlos Slim is The Guardian by his own definition, describing businesspeople as temporary managers of wealth rather than its owners. That conviction runs through everything he builds, from multigenerational family succession planning to hands-on disaster relief through the Slim Foundation. His instinct is to preserve, stabilise, and shelter, treating personal fortune not as personal property but as a trust held on behalf of families and communities.
“We are temporary managers of wealth because we don't take anything with us.”
“Family is the first thing, and I have the fortune to have the love of them and that each love is that everyone loves each other.”
“Poverty is not only a problem of social justice and ethics, it is an economic need. You need to have people out of poverty to be part of the economy.”
