The guy isn’t even a Mexican, he’s Lebanese:
Slim was born in Mexico City, Mexico in 1940 to Maronite Christian parents Julián Slim Haddad and Linda Helú, both of Lebanese descent. His father, born Khalil Slim Haddad, immigrated to Mexico at the age of 14 in 1902 and changed his first name to Julián. As it was not uncommon for Lebanese children to be sent abroad before they reached the age of 15 to avoid being conscripted into the Ottoman army, four of Haddad’s older brothers were already living in Mexico at the time of his arrival.
Carlos Slim’s mother, Linda Helú, was born in Parral, Chihuahua, of Lebanese parents who had immigrated to Mexico in the late 19th century. Her parents upon immigrating to Mexico had founded one of the first Arabic language magazines for the Lebanese-Mexican community, using a printing press they had brought with them.
He certainly appears to be Mexican to me.

Salma Hayek is also Mexican-Lebanese. Picture please!
I was born in the USA of immigrant parents. That makes me an American, thank you very much.
