The crown of wealth does not bring luck – 02/11/2023 – Elio Gaspari

In Pindorama, the title of “the richest man in Brazil” is not lucky for its holders. In 2012, this award was displayed by Eike Batista, with a fortune estimated at US$ 30 billion. The rest is history.

Eike passed the title on to businessman Jorge Paulo Lemann, who tops the list of the top ten with an estimated fortune of US$ 16.1 billion, accompanied by his partners Marcel Telles (US$ 10.8 billion) and Carlos Alberto Sicupira (US$ 8.8 billion). With the bankruptcy of the Americanas network, the magic of the trio faded.

Unlike Eike Batista, whose business had a lot of dust and to dust returned, the fortune of Lemann, Telles and Sicupira should withstand the stride of Americanas and they will maintain good positions on the list of billionaires.

Next is Eduardo Saverin ($6.8 billion), a lucky man who partnered with Mark Zuckerberg when he launched Facebook while still a student at Harvard. He is a point outside Urucubaca because even though he was born in Brazil, he went to Miami when he was young and lives in Singapore.

For some years banker Joseph Safra disputed the position. A discreet man, he silently went through disagreements and / or fights with brothers, including his sister-in-law Lily, widow of Edmond, who died in Monte Carlo in 1999. Joseph died in 2020. His equity would have exceeded US $ 19 billion.

While the Americanas chain is in the frying pan, owing the Safra bank around R$ 2 billion, Alberto Safra, son of “seu” Joseph, filed a lawsuit against his mother and two brothers in American Justice, accusing them of having harmed him in the inheritance. The litigation involves the holding company that controls Safra National Bank, which is unrelated to the family’s credit house in Brazil.

The list of Brazilian billionaires is different from that of the Americans. Despite the trouble they get into, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Bill Gates associate their names with transformations in the economy. One revolutionized commerce, another got involved with the electric car and the third, some time ago, changed the course of the IT business.
