He started out with frigging 400,000 dollars to invest. I knew this, even before reading the article because wealth comes from wealth. Bill Gates didnt start with this much money, so i would count him more savvy. Money begets money begets money begets money! Another bullshit story, poorly written, about some rich asshole that only cares about money.

This man has heart he knows how to put his money to work , help people. His Father taught him well in the handling of business, and watching out for the takers and users. I strongly agree with him about the “usefulness of charity” maybe at one time they held to what they said about truly helping all people in need. To me they sort of lost the real meaning. Not all i do have to be fair. The greater good is “private enterprise, which create jobs for people. It does more for the poor than philanthropy. Jobs for people is the right thing to do, and it gives individuals integrity. My words to Mr. Slim, is do not be concerned about criticism. It only means that he is doing something good and putting other people to shame. He has not forgotten that people count. When you are doing a good thing, others sit back and look for faults. Mr. Slim, know that poor countries need Education, Hospitals, Jobs, good Roads. I want to add to his list Wild-life protection if it means putting them on protected acres. Our natural Resources need care also. If we take care of our water, our land, our trees and other natural things that will replenish our earth, it will take care of us. I am for him not against him. He will have lots of haters, and users, and false friends, because he is a man of means. I say he should listen to his own heart.
