A Mexican telecom mogul who holds the title of world’s richest man, and
one of President Obama’s top donors are both getting even richer from
the U.S. government program that supplies so-called “Obamaphones” to the
poor.
Carlos Slim, who has an estimated net worth of $70 billion, owns a
controlling stake in TracFone, which makes $10 per phone for each device
it provides to poor Americans.
The phones came into the national spotlight after a viral video
surfaced on YouTube in which a Cleveland, Ohio, woman praised the
president, saying he needed to be re-elected because he gives out free
phones.
“Everybody in Cleveland, every minority, got an Obama phone. Keep Obama as president. He gave us a phone. He gonna do more,” the woman said in the video.
