Brazil gains a new billionaire! After five years of legal dispute in Santa Catarina, the lawsuit opposing the five heirs of Eggon da Silva, one of the founders of WEG – a global reference in the manufacturing of turbines and electric motors, and Lucas Demathe da Silva, has been concluded. The information was disclosed by columnist Lauro Jardim from the newspaper O Globo.

Lucas, 28, was only recognized after the death of his father, businessman Eggon, which occurred in 2015.

The lawsuit came to an end in the jurisdiction of Jaraguá do Sul (SC) through a settlement in July of this year, where it was defined that the new heir would receive R$ 1 billion.

Rabigh 3 was built on the western coast of the Red Sea and has the capacity to produce 600,000 m3 of water per day and supply approximately three million people. It is also characterized as the most environmentally friendly plant in the world, due to its lower electricity consumption during daily operations and having recorded the lowest noise level.
