virtually all of Mexico's wealth is controlled by about 300 families. Sr. Helu had the good fortune to be born into one of them.
He had the further good fortune to 'win' majority ownership of the Mexican telephone monopoly when the government privatized it. Of course, his good fortune was helped a lot by knowing everyone who matters in Mexican society [everyone with serious money] and by having wonderful connections to the then government [someone has to finance the party and its elections ... you didn't think it all came from graft inside Pemex, did you?]
