Slim demurred when King asked the billionaire's opinion of President
Barack Obama, earning giggles from many among the several hundred
people in the audience who didn't buy his claim that he hasn't been
paying attention to politics outside of Mexico.
King grilled him on the assertion by some in Mexico that his
businesses are monopolies. "'Mono' means one," Slim said, before
listing a litany of telecommunications, TV and other companies that
compete with him in 18 different countries.
King said he was "fascinated" by Slim's wealth, but Slim said he
doesn't keep track of how much he is worth day-to-day and never thinks
about whether he has more or less money than Bill Gates, who is
usually his competition for richest person in the world.
