His name Carlos Slim Helu, 67 years old, Mexican with Lebanese origin, he got cool private jet and he’s second world’s richest man with $53 billion. For someone holding about 7% of Mexico’s GDP and almost half the Mexican stock exchange’s $370 billion value and controls a horde of industries ranging from telecom to tobacco, he is totally unknown outside Mexico unlike Bill Gates or Waleed Bin Talal.

Is he really “clean”?
Actually I did not find any statement that links Helú’s activities with corruption/politics/illegal stuff, but with such a number of zeros in a country that suffers from poverty, inequality and criminality, I prefer to keep skeptic.

I’d love to be able to attract his “cool” jet as a customer. I understand he has holdings in Miami. Does anyone know where he keeps his jet(s) or any tail numbers/types? Thanks.
