the owner of Record or the Globo clan –

In the volatile world of business, millions and even billions are gained and lost within minutes. Therefore, the ranking of the richest people always shows changes in the ranking order and in the value of wealth.

As of this writing, the Brazilian with the most money on the planet is 39-year-old Eduardo Saverin. According to the real-time list of the American magazine ‘Forbes’, the co-founder of Facebook has $ 17.9 billion, or about 97.6 billion reais. It ranks 113th among the richest in the world.

Currently number 1 is South African-Canadian-American Elon Musk, 50, of Tesla and SpaceX, with 214.8 billion, the equivalent of R $ 1.1 trillion. Just behind, the American Jeff Bezos, 57, from Amazon, and the French Bernard Arnault, 72, from the group of luxury brands LVMH.

And among the owners of television channels in Brazil, who is the richest? A lot of people would answer: Silvio Santos. A September 2020 article from ‘Forbes’ revealed that the owner of SBT lost a significant portion of his assets between 2013 and 2018, due to losses at some of his companies. He had “only” R $ 1.9 billion for 1 year.

The richest country’s television owner is not even known to the general public: Rubens Menin, 65, founder and owner of CNN Brasil, a news channel launched in March 2020. She has 2.2 billion dollars dollars. In conversion, R $ 12 billion. This fortune comes from banking, construction and other businesses.

Then come the 3 heirs of Roberto Marinho (1904-2003), of Grupo Globo. Roberto Irineu, 74, João Roberto, 68, and José Roberto, 65, each have 1.8 billion dollars, or 9.8 billion reais. The communications company, which includes the largest broadcaster in terms of audience, is going through a delicate phase: it recorded a loss of 114 million reais in the first half of the year.

Edir Macedo, 76, who bought Record TV in 1989 from Silvio Santos and the Machado de Carvalho group, has a fortune valued at 1.1 billion dollars, or about 6 billion reais. His income includes dividends from the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, of which he is the head.
