Eduardo Saverin, The Richest Brazilian in the World, Triples Fortune With Success of Meta, Parent Company of Facebook and Other Social Networks
Eduardo Saverin, one of the co-founders of Facebook, has become the richest Brazilian in the world, according to the 2024 Billionaires List released by Forbes. With an estimated net worth of US$ 28 billion (R$ 141.4 billion), Saverin ranks 60th among the richest men on the planet. His fortune almost tripled from 2023 to 2024, driven by the appreciation of Meta’s shares, the company that owns Facebook and other popular platforms like Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads.
Born in São Paulo in 1982, Eduardo Saverin moved with his family to Miami, USA, at the age of 11. He graduated in Economics from Harvard University, where he became involved in the project Thefacebook, alongside Mark Zuckerberg and others, in 2004. Thefacebook, which started as a social network exclusive for Harvard students, soon expanded and became the Facebook we know today.
Conflicts and Renunciation of American Citizenship
However, the partnership with Zuckerberg was not without conflicts. Eduardo Saverin and the other partners disagreed about the future of Facebook, leading to mutual accusations. Eduardo Saverin even sued Zuckerberg, resulting in an out-of-court settlement. In 2009, Eduardo Saverin immigrated to Singapore and renounced his American citizenship in 2011, just before Facebook’s IPO, saving millions in taxes and generating controversy in the media.

In 2015, Saverin married Elaine Andriejanssen, with whom he had a son in 2018, seeking to keep his private life out of the spotlight. He founded B Capital, a venture capital firm that invests in businesses in Southeast Asia and India, and also invested in Antler, a startup accelerator. Recently, B Capital participated in a US$ 320 million investment in Lambda, a cloud computing and AI company.

Pharaonic Works and Legacy
In 2023, Saverin acquired two gigantic chalets in the French ski resort of Courchevel for US$ 95 million, demonstrating his taste for grand ventures. His story is portrayed in the movie “The Social Network,” where he is played by Andrew Garfield. Saverin is an example of Brazilian entrepreneurial potential, having turned his stake in Facebook into an impressive fortune.
Quando li brasileiro, pensei que nasceu e cresceu no Brasil. A maioria dos brasileiros que viram artigos de jornal, são criados e educados fora do país. É uma pena que no Brasil as pessoas não tenham mais oportunidades de adquirirem riqueza de forma “limpa”. Acredito que se ele morasse no Brasil o que ele iria pagar de impostos tiraria ele deste ranking.
Procurem outro exemplo de potencial brasileiro ele só nasceu no Brasil os pais dele emigraram para o Brasil onde não obtiveram sucesso e resolveram ir para os EUA, como a própria matéria sita agora ele é um cidadão de Singapura, gostaria de saber quanto ele investe no Brasil e quanto ele investe em Singapura
