However, this amount fell to US$ 3.2 billion on the latest list released by the magazine. The drop of US$ 1.6 billion represents R$ 8.12 billion at the current exchange rate.

This is not the first time the businessman’s wealth has dropped on the Forbes list. In 2021, the magazine showed that Hang’s fortune was US$ 2.7 billion (R$ 15.34 billion at the March 2021 exchange rate). In one year, he lost US$ 900 million, equivalent to R$ 3.4 billion at the time.
