PROFILE |
 |
Slim equals fat assets for Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helú. His sprawling conglomerate, Grupo Carso, owns 79% of Grupo Sanborns, which includes the Sanborns department store chain and an 85% stake in Sears Roebuck de México. The subsidiary also owns troubled US computer retailer CompUSA. Mexico's largest conglomerate, Grupo Carso has interests in cigarette maker Cigatam, and railway operator Ferrosur, as well as music stores, mining, chemicals, construction materials, and auto parts operations. Grupo Carso's success is so tightly tied to Slim that its stock nosedived when he suffered a heart attack in 1997. He has since opened the firm to investors and has passed on its operations to his son Patrick Slim Domit.
