Lina Maria Aguiar net worth
Lina Maria Aguiar Net Worth: Lina Maria Aguiar is a Brazilian businesswoman with a net worth of $1.5 billion. In 1938, as an infant, Lina Maria Aguiar was left in front of a branch of the Bradesco Bank, one of Brazil’s largest banks, adopted and raised as the daughter of the bank’s founder, Amador Aguiar.
Just two years later, Mr. Aguiar found and adopted Lina’s biological sister, Emilia, and renamed her Lia Maria Aguiar. Both sisters are listed today as billionaires due to their huge inheritances from their adoptive fathers. And Amador’s third girl, Maria Angela, didn’t make it to the billionaire ranks because she took a small stake in Bradesco Bank. In fact, most of Amador’s fortune goes to the charitable Bradesco Foundation, which Amador himself founded in 1956 to contribute to improving education in Brazil. The remainder of his fortune sparked a bitter court battle between his adopted daughter and his second wife, whom he married months before his death. Once Amador’s daughter won in court, Lina and Lia became billionaires.
