"What can I say? I love the ladies. I just so happen to also like occasionally giving what someone else wants for the sake of getting what I want - whether that includes information or loyalty. Take that as you will, but I'm a simple guy and I'm not of the mind to deny myself the simple pleasures of using what I've got to get what and who I want when the time comes."

"It's not that I can't do relationships. I can play the role that is required of me, I genuinely can. I just don't want to and it is what it is."

Role
"The overarching belief is that I'm upset because, as one of Manuel's best friends, I wasn't chosen for King Bee. I wasn't even a thought. And the truth is that they're wrong. The thing about being King Bee is that you have appearances to think about and while that is still true for me as the son of the wealthiest man in Mexico, I don't need to be worried about that as both Carlos Slim's son and as the king of Spence. Not having that sort of spotlight gives me a sort of...freedom, and one that I've appreciated since moving to New York. And as I've told my mans Denzel, in good faith, all I gotta say is, 'Long live the King.'"

The problem with Ricky, and one that most people who know of his machinations or at least that he's involved in a situation to some degree, is that he doesn't care. Granted, there are a good number who believe that he's just that much of an entitled jerk at times to not care about how what he says and does affects the people around him, but that's not the case at all. His family's wealth and accomplishments have nothing to do with it. Whether he has lost that ability or simply never possessed it is a mystery, but the simple fact of the matter is that it is more than Ricky simply being the unbothered type. Because he can be bothered - and bothered immensely, if you can get it right...or wrong, depending on if you purposefully wanted to trigger him or something. Which, by the way, is not recommended. The thing is that Ricky takes the word remorseless and runs with it. No matter how far his machinations go, no matter who he has managed to hurt or what relationships he has managed to destroy, he's truly incapable of feeling the full depth of empathy or remorse that someone else would. He is capable of recognizing what action was wrong and why it was so, but - in his mind - it was only wrong to the people affected, not him. Being the calculated young man that he is, no game he has played nor move he has made has not been scrutinized to the highest of degree and decided upon without his belief that it will benefit him primarily. Anyone else's satisfaction is second rate compared to his own. And it doesn't matter if he's considered cruel or sadistic, at the end of the day, the only thing Ricky cares about his own satisfaction. And for a guy like Ricky, every single person - every relationship he has formed - can have a role is an object geared towards said satisfaction.
It isn't to say that Ricky just starts problems out of nowhere. Oh, if you leave it up to the public and the world his father introduced him to at a young age, Ricardo Slim-HelΓΊ is nothing short of a charismatic socialite with a lot of potential. It is quite easy for him to retain a loyal following from his peers and even a few adults, especially ones he's managed to charm the socks (and panties) off of. It doesn't hurt that to classmates, while suave, Ricky seems very easy-going and not hard to please. Of course, he takes pride and pleasure in the luxuries his parents' money has afforded him because it would be ridiculous not to, but he doesn't spend every waking second of his life desiring the most expensive meal while wearing the most expensive set of clothing. To some extent, Ricky is very simple because he does take pleasure in regular teenage boy things: practicing and training for baseball season, catching games of the various sports teams that he follows, playing video games with friends, smoking a joint while waiting for an order of pizza, etc. At the same time, however, because he is able to hold this almost harmless persona, Ricky is quite capable of being the manipulative little shit some of his oldest friends know him as, oftentimes showing off an impressive skill of getting people to let their guards down. A young man like Ricky is controlling and an indomitable force, seeking power over others partly because he refuses for anyone to think they can control him, but mostly because Ricky himself requires power. Not the one one feels they have in the limelight, but undercover - under the guise of playing whatever role people need him to play to feel comfortable with him, knowing that in truth, he is the one truly pulling the strings. He is an instigator, using the situations other people find themselves in for his own entertainment, to be able to push and see how far he can get another person to go all the while pretending that he isn't involved at all. And having them convinced he is not as well.
With that being said, a guy like Ricky not having the control he wants is a dangerous thing. On numerous occasions, even though his charms and manipulations have people thinking one thing, it has been noted that Ricky is a very selfish young man. To combat the accusation that was his diagnosis years ago, he desires to be the cold-hearted schemer because without that control - when he feels absolutely powerless and as if things aren't going his way - he can be hot-headed and reckless. Ricky is already bold, which can be fun for those he calls friends, but with the rage of not having power comes a lack of control over how far he himself is willing to go. His anger is not something to be trifled with. He is perfectly fine with forcing other people's hands, but he has control over his own - until he's pushed not to. And regardless of what he does, Ricky will always find a way to blame everyone else around him and never take responsibility for his own actions. It's just not in his nature to.

History
Ricky is the youngest out of seven children that belong to Carlos Slim, a Mexican business tycoon whose fortune derives from his extensive holdings in a considerable number of Mexican companies through his conglomerate, Grupo Carso, which includes education, health care, industrial manufacturing, transportation, real estate, media, energy, hospitality, entertainment, high-technology, retail, sports, and financial services. When your father is the seventh richest man in the world, and the richest man in your home country of Mexico, there's not much to actually complain about. Ricardo probably could have done without the five kidnappings he had to endure, but considering all of the luxurious opportunities he has been given and knowing that he'll never have to actually want for anything has been incentive enough to deal with all that he has to deal with. And a part of what he has to deal with is being the only child of Carlos Slim that the billionaire is seen with regularly around New York and the only one he actually lives with. As the saying goes, papa was a rolling stone and that couldn't be any truer for the Mexican business man. Not only does Carlos have seven children, he has four different women who birthed the children and only one of them is an ex-wife. Ricky is the result of an actual story of love. When Carlos' first wife told him to either stop his affairs, considering she had given him three and he ended up having three more kids with two different women, or she would file for a divorce, what she probably had not expected was for him to file te divorce for her. He had already been planning on moving permanently in his New York estate and once the divorce was finalized, and every child and their parent was given a home of their own to be in, Carlos was in the states and then he met the woman who would be Ricky's mother, Yesenia.
Yesenia was and still is a charitable Broadway actress who failed to be initially impressed by Carlos' typical bravado, which was new for him. There weren't many who weren't immediately charmed by his looks and suave attitude, and when they continued to meet at different charity dinners and galas, there was no mistaking that Carlos was a touch smitten. Eventually, after convincing Yesenia that he wasn't just trying to get in her pants, they turned their flirting and bantering into a full fledged relationship, then into a marriage. And Ricky, to this day, doesn't see his parents divorcing at all. Of course, at least three of his siblings don't see it as great, particularly because their mother - the first wife - is still bitter. In fact, as he and his oldest brother have agreed on, all of the mothers are bitter. Out of all of them, Ricky and Yesenia are the only ones to keep Carlos. In that light, it's a bit of a competition between the siblings. Who can control what? Who can keep their father's attention long enough to gain the biggest inheritance? Of course, Ricky isn't worried about nothing and never has had to be. He knows his Dad wants to make this a family empire and there's no real rush for him. All he has to do is continue being great; getting good grades, charming his way through politicians and business people, and playing his sports until it's time to get a bit more serious about his real estate ideas. Until then, though, he's willing to stir up a bit of trouble. Well, technically - he's willing to stir up a lot of trouble. How else is he supposed to entertain himself? He's not about to be cooped up in his mansion all day, after all.
