Brazil's Richest Banker Gains $2.7B as Bolsonaro Surges in Polls

André Esteves, Brazil's wealthiest banker, saw his net worth jump $2.7 billion (20%) on Monday, per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The gain is tied to a surge in support for presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, which boosted Brazilian asset prices. This reflects market optimism over a potential Bolsonaro presidency, though the move is based on polling shifts and remains speculative.
