6. One of the world's richest men liveshere
世界上最富有的男子之一住在墨西哥城
Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim topped Forbes Magazine's list of the world'srichest men for four years. Microsoft founderBill Gates reclaimed the No. 1 spot this year. But Slim and his family, with anestimated net worth of $71.4 billion, are still sitting comfortably insecond place. Slim lives in Mexico City, and many of the companies hecontrols are based there, too. Even if you're just passing through the city,you're bound to come across his holdings. Talking on a Mexican cell phone? It'spretty likely that it's tied to Slim's company, Telcel,which controls 70% of Mexico'swireless market. Swinging by a department store? If youspend any time in Mexico City,you'll probably find a reason to stop at Sanborns, Slim'subiquitous chain that contains restaurants, pharmacies and retail goods. Admiring beautiful buildings in the city'shistoric center? Slim helped finance a major facelift there in recent years.
墨西哥電信大亨Carlos Slim四次上榜《福布斯》雜志全球最富有人士。今年比爾蓋茨重奪回第一的寶座。但是Carlos Slim及其家族擁有的資產凈值預計達到了714億美元，依然穩穩的坐在了第二的寶座上。Carlos Slim就住在墨西哥城，他所控制的許多公司也都位于墨西哥城。即使你僅僅只是穿過這座城市，你也會碰到他所控制的財產。用墨西哥手機打電話？那絕對和他的公司有關系，Telcel控制著墨西哥70%的無線市場。想去百貨商店里買東西？如果你去墨西哥城旅游，你可能會去桑伯斯逛逛，這是Slim開的的連鎖企業，可謂無處不在，里面包括飯店，藥房以及零售商品。在該市的歷史中心欣賞美麗的建筑？最近幾年，他花錢對這些建筑進行了翻新。
