Mauá Investimentos
The name Mauá was chosen in honor of a Brazilian entrepreneur, Irineu Evangelista de Souza, known as the Baron of Mauá, who owned 17 companies in 1867 and whose fortune amounted to USD 60 million at that time, number compared only with the USD 100 million left by the 19th century’s richest man Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Mauá in tupi-guarani * (the native language of Brazil) also means “something high”.
