Ultra-High-Net-Worth Market Intelligence: Brazil 2025
Capgemini and CDC research-based analysis for $30M+ net worth travelers
Brazil offers exclusive luxury travel experiences, but the ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) population faced a 13.3% decline according to the Capgemini World Wealth Report 2025. This wealth concentration creates high-value targets requiring military-grade security protocols adapted for luxury environments. São Paulo, with 20,000 millionaires, represents the largest concentration of potential UHNW clients in Latin America.
