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 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.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

While cigarette butts appear on sidewalks, beaches, and sewers, researchers tested the waste in clay bricks and calculated a 10% savings in burning with just 1% in the mixture.

Not Brazil, Paraguay, or Argentina: the country that will cross mountains with the largest road tunnel in the Americas is another country, with a 9.8 km project, an investment of US$ 1.3 billion, and a promise to cut travel time in 2027.

A billionaire could buy a huge yacht, but chose a 17,000-acre farm in Australia for $10 million to transform former pastures into a nature reserve, save a historic forest, and provide shelter for endangered species.

While ships burn diesel even when docked, a floating platform with hydrogen promises to bring clean energy to the port without waiting years for construction.

Common land turns into 4 compact townhouses with two parking spaces, suites, skylights, and free space at the back for expansion, a solution that tries to tackle the high price of lots and keep affordable housing in the Minha Casa Minha Vida program outside expensive gated communities in Blumenau.
