The year 2024 reaches its mid-point, and the investments of the richest Mexicans, as well as their millionaire fortunes, continue to increase.
Just in June, the fortunes of these individuals recorded slight changes compared to the beginning of the year, so their positions, in some cases, advanced, while in the global list there were falls.
