Mexican billionaire and the second richest man in the world Carlos Sliim has added some $4.9 million worth of Saks stock. The shares. purchased via a trust called Inmobiliaria controlled by his family, came to 690,000 shares with prices from $6.99 to $7.20. This now takes the total control from the Slim family trust up to 17 million shares.
Saks closed down $0.03 at $6.21 today, and the 52-week trading range is $5.80 to $7.73. Thistransaction makes Slim closer to being the largest holder of theupscale retailer.
In this market, Slim is likely to get the chance to buy as much as he wants.
