Despite being the most millionaire person in Mexico and all of Latin America, the Mexican tycoon surprised the world by traveling in a humble and simple car that we will detail below. Slide and find out more!
in countless situations We have seen how people with great purchasing power waste their money on high-end vehicles or other valuable things such as yachts, extravagant houses, jewelry, etc.. Likewise, over time we can see the results that these actions can have in certain millionaires, such as his bankruptcy or the desperate sale of his properties to meet the expenses.
On the other hand, we can see other wealthy people like Carlos Slim, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg who, despite their millions of dollars, maintain a simple and somewhat austere lifestyle. When we talk about the Mexican tycoon, we always talk about a focused person who has managed to manage his earnings very well and has managed to reinvest them to further increase this figure.
In this context, and to the surprise of many, we have discovered the simple car with which Carlos Slim usually travels to his meetings with politicians, successful businessmen and well-known people from the country. We are talking about the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a 4-door passenger car with an automatic gearbox with up to 9 speeds and rear-wheel drive. Its purchase value is $121,000
Among its comfort elements, there are AMG sports seats, dual-zone climate control, soundproof windows and infrared reflectors, exterior mirrors with ambient lights and electrical adjustment. While under its hood rests 455 Horsepower, powered by a V-8-cylinder gasoline engine capable of reaching maximum power revs between 5,250 – 5,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 700 Nm. All this allows it to reach a maximum speed of 250 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
It is clear that it is not such a simple car for the majority of ordinary people, but in this case we must bear in mind that we are talking about the wealthiest person in a country. Therefore, for such an important person in the world of the economy to travel in a $120,000 car is somewhat disturbing for the rest of the millionaires. A clear example of the Mexican tycoon on how to take care of money and invest it in really necessary things.
