"I heard a list last night, but I didn't hear any mention of Arab countries or Mexico"

Arab countries like Saudi are donating...the UAE is...I haven't heard anything about pledges from Mexico either. South America yes, but not Mexico. Anyone know whether Mexico has pledged any aid?

Mexico has more "Forbes" billionaires, 11, than all but eight other nations. It has more billionaires than Saudi Arabia, Switzerland or Taiwan. It also has more than 85,000 millionaires.
