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.
墨西哥电信大亨Carlos Slim四次上榜《福布斯》杂志全球最富有人士。今年比尔盖茨重夺回第一的宝座。但是Carlos Slim及其家族拥有的资产净值预计达到了714亿美元，依然稳稳的坐在了第二的宝座上。Carlos Slim就住在墨西哥城，他所控制的许多公司也都位于墨西哥城。即使你仅仅只是穿过这座城市，你也会碰到他所控制的财产。用墨西哥手机打电话？那绝对和他的公司有关系，Telcel控制着墨西哥70%的无线市场。想去百货商店里买东西？如果你去墨西哥城旅游，你可能会去桑伯斯逛逛，这是Slim开的的连锁企业，可谓无处不在，里面包括饭店，药房以及零售商品。在该市的历史中心欣赏美丽的建筑？最近几年，他花钱对这些建筑进行了翻新。
