I don't know anything about this man--I saw him this AM on CNN, but I can't even remember his name. (Being from Mexico, he probably made his billions on the backbreaking work of poor Mexicans.)
Now he should follow Bill Gates' excellent example of giving back to the world, especially to the poor of his country. I disagree with the person who said that rich people shouldn't give to the poor. If Mexico were a better place to live, people wouldn't want to leave it and come to the US.
Isn't it pitiful that people had rather come here and work for less than minimum wages rather than remain in Mexico?

In Mexico your either poor or very wealthy. Many Mexicans don't get a break and its hard to work there way up to better pay.

Why is it insulting? If he got his money honestly, it is a good sign.
If he is corrupt, as many leaders in Mexico are, it is a problem.
Corruption is what needs to be eliminated. They everybody will have a fair chance.

How did he make his money? I'm sure it was illegal drugs or could be from all the tax breaks and money the US hands all the mexicans who enter this country.

I don't understand your question. However, having that much money must be nice!

Why should anyone give their earned money to anyone who didn't earn it?
