Edson de Godoy Bueno net worth
Edson de Godoy Bueno Net Worth: Edson de Godoy Bueno is a Brazilian billionaire and businessman with a net worth of $2.7 billion. Edson de Godoy Bueno made his fortune from Amil, a health plan company he founded with his then-wife Dulce in 1972. While studying at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Edison honed his practical skills by working in clinics.
After graduating in 1971, he bought the struggling clinic and turned it into Brazil’s largest healthcare company, Amil today, adding more than 15 companies in the last few years alone. The fact that US healthcare giant UnitedHealth Group bought a 90% stake in Amil during its expansion into Latin America in 2012, paying $4.9 billion in the process, has become very attractive. To be more precise, UHG bought 30% of listed Amil from public shareholders and 60% from Buenos. As part of the deal, the Buenosians retained only a 10 percent stake in Amir, with Edson remaining as Amir’s chief executive. As a result, he became the first foreigner to join UnitedHealth’s board of directors and one of the group’s largest individual shareholders, holding 0.8% of the shares.
