June 24 (UPI) -- Brazil leads Latin America in the number of millionaires, with nearly 400,000 residents holding a net worth of $1 million or more, according to the UBS Global Wealth Report 2025. The country ranks first in the region and 19th globally.
The UBS report estimates that 380,585 Brazilians had a net worth of at least $1 million in 2024, a figure projected to rise to nearly 470,000 by 2028. Along with Mexico and Chile, Brazil is helping drive wealth growth across Latin America, reflecting the region's economic resilience and a more sophisticated investment market.
The report also introduces the concept of "everyday millionaires," or EMILLIs -- individuals with assets between $1 million and $5 million. This group has quadrupled in size globally since 2000 and now controls a significant share of global wealth. In Brazil, they represent a growing segment of the country's wealth base.
Above the EMILLIs are "ultra-high-net-worth individuals"with more than $30 million in assets, and at the top, Brazil's wealthiest families. These groups hold a substantial share of the country's total wealth and are the primary beneficiaries of exclusive investment opportunities, both domestically and internationally.
Several factors are fueling Brazil's surge in millionaire households. The country has maintained a degree of macroeconomic stability in recent years, boosting investor confidence and creating favorable conditions for capital accumulation.
With a large population and robust domestic consumption, Brazil offers a dynamic market for businesses. That environment has opened doors for entrepreneurs and investors to generate wealth across multiple sectors.
Agribusiness, technology, renewable energy and finance have all seen strong growth, benefiting a growing number of investors.
Brazil's financial market has also expanded, offering a broader range of investment products. This has allowed wealthy families to diversify their portfolios and improve returns.
Foreign direct investment across key sectors has further contributed to Brazil's economic momentum and wealth creation.
Looking ahead, the UBS Global Wealth Report 2025 forecasts a massive global transfer of wealth over the next two decades, with more than $83 trillion expected to pass from one generation to the next. Of that, nearly $9 trillion is projected to change hands in Brazil-more than any country except the United States and China.
This generational shift presents both opportunity and risk. It could inject capital into the economy and help finance new ventures, but it also poses challenges in wealth management and succession.
A 2025 report by Forbes Brasil identifies the country's leading family fortunes. At the top are the Moreira Salles brothers, with an estimated $26 billion, followed by the Marinho family (Grupo Globo) and the Setubal family (Itaúsa).
According to the Institute for Mobility and Social Development, nearly half of Brazil's 95 wealthiest families in 2022 were not on the list a decade earlier. Among the newcomers are the Batista family (JBS), Krigsner family (Grupo Boticário), and Billi family (Eurofarma), highlighting upward mobility in emerging industries.
In 2024, Eduardo Saverin, co-founder of Facebook, became the wealthiest Brazilian in history, with an estimated fortune of $38 billion. He ranked 44th globally, surpassing longtime billionaires Jorge Paulo Lemann and the Safra family.

Forgetful husband leads S.C. woman to $500,000 lottery prize

A South Carolina woman whose husband forgot to buy lottery tickets made her own trip to the store and won $500,000. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 25 (UPI) -- A South Carolina woman whose husband forgot to buy her lottery tickets made her own trip to the store and ended up winning $500,000. The Upstate woman told South Carolina Education Lottery officials she made a trip to the 357 Redi Mart in Lyman because her husband had forgotten to buy the lottery tickets she requested. "I was standing in line and these bright, shiny and glittery tickets caught my eye," she said. "I bought three of them." The first two Money Madness Extra Play tickets weren't winners, but the third earned her a $500,000 prize. "I felt like Jed Clampett when he discovered his bubblin' crude," she said. The winner said she is making plans for her newfound wealth. "I'll have a little fun, take some trips and retirement will come sooner rather than later," she said.

UBS Stays Cautious on Skyworks (SWKS) Despite Q3 Tailwind, Ups Price Target to $75

Skyworks Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS) is one of the most oversold semiconductor stocks so far in 2025. Skyworks' shares have lost around 21% in 2024, and their YTD decline took the loss to around 39% in the last one-year. The stock is one of the most unloved stocks by analysts in our list, with the majority of analysts having a Sell or Hold rating. One of the analysts who recently gave a cautious outlook is UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri. On July 21, he raised his price target on Skyworks Solutions to $75 from $65, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. A close-up of the latest 5G wireless equipment, capturing the lightning-fast speed of the technology. In his latest note, Arcuri pointed to signs that Q3 results should come in either in line with expectations or modestly better. His view is based on recent smartphone sell-through data, which suggests that some demand originally expected later in the year may have been pulled forward due to tariff-related factors. UBS sees these early shipments, possibly driven by trade policy uncertainty, as a near-term boost to results, though it doesn't necessarily signal a sustained improvement in end-demand trends. His Neutral stance essentially means that while the Q3 setup appears relatively stable, visibility beyond that remains limited, especially given the broader macro and trade backdrop affecting global handset markets. Skyworks Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS) is a wireless semiconductor company that designs and manufactures radio frequency and semiconductor system solutions for mobile communications applications. While we acknowledge the potential of SWKS as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

UBS Maintains 'Neutral' on Conagra (CAG), Lowers Price Target to $20

Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:CAG) is one of the best alternative meat stocks to invest in according to analysts. On July 11, UBS maintained a 'Neutral' rating on Conagra's stock and lowered the price target on the shares to $20 from $21. Analyst Bryan Adams stated that his decision takes into account the company's 'less-than-stellar performance in the fourth quarter.' He also highlighted Conagra's fiscal year 2026 guidance that is 'more weighted towards the latter half of the year.' A worker assembling a meal in a food production facility. Conagra reported disappointing Q4 FY2025 results. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.56, missing the forecasted $0.59, and revenue fell short at $2.78 billion compared to the anticipated $2.85 billion. As such, the analyst expressed skepticism about Conagra's fiscal year 2026 outlook. The analyst also pointed to Conagra's 'weaker quarterly execution in recent periods' as a concern. Despite the challenges, UBS acknowledges that market expectations for Conagra have already been 'recalibrated lower,' indicating that growth concerns are largely reflected in the current stock valuation. The firm also highlighted Conagra's 'competitive dividend and free cash flow yield' as factors that likely limit the stock's further downside potential. This contributes to the balanced risk-reward assessment that informed the neutral rating. Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:CAG) is a major packaged foods company with a diverse portfolio that includes frozen meals, snacks, and plant-based products. The corporation owns Gardein, a brand that has become a key player in the alternative protein space. While not directly producing lab-grown meat, Conagra, through its Gardein brand, offers the Ultimate Chick'n line—an advanced plant-based product that mimics traditional chicken. While we acknowledge the potential of CAG as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
