Mexican billionaire Alberto Bailleres, a mining and retail tycoon known as a patron of higher education and the arts, has died, aged 90.
Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard on Thursday tweeted that he mourned the death of a "distinguished Mexican businessman".
A long-time fixture on Forbes magazine's rich list with fellow Mexicans such as Carlos Slim and German Larrea, Bailleres made his fortune across a range of industries, and was a key sponsor of one of the country's most prestigious universities.
