That would be Carlos Slim.

He started investing when he was a kid. He learned management and accounting from his parents, Maronite Lebanese immigrants who ran a grocery store in Mexico City.

He dedicated his life to stock trading. Like the other famous stockbroker, Warren Buffett, he specialized in value investing, that is, finding companies with a deeply discounted stock price as compared to its free cash flow.

Mexico’s crisis environment allowed him to make very smart investments at the bottom of the market.

He was the world’s richest person for 3 years in 2010.

Carlos Slim also runs a lot of philanthropic efforts through three nonprofits, and owns the amazing museum Museo Soumaya in Mexico City, which is completely free to the public and has works by Manet, Rubens, El Greco, Degas, Pissarro, Renoir, Van Gogh, Chagall, Miró and Monet, and also has perhaps the largest Auguste Rodin collections outside of France with 380 pieces (the other sizable one, with nearly 100 pieces, is the Stanford’s Cantor Center, a.k.a. Stanford Museum, in the California Bay Area).
