"It's hard to live a day without buying one of his products," Sandra Morales, 31, said as she ate lunch in the Plaza Insurgentes shopping center - a property owned by Slim - in Mexico City. "He's so rich and powerful and in a country where there are so many poor."

Ratan Tata
"When Ratan Tata took over the helm from his uncle 16 years ago, the conglomerate resembled an opaque jungle of companies. He rebuilt, tore down, expanded and forged a powerful holding company out of the general merchandise store with its approximately 300 individual companies. That holding company today functions primarily in seven areas, including steel, automobile production, information technology, telecommunications and energy."
