Cesar Mata Pires Net Worth: Cesar Mata Pires is a Brazilian entrepreneur who has a net worth of $1.7 billion. Cesar Mata Pires made his debut on the world's richest list as co-founder and CEO of Grupo OAS SA, where he also holds a 90% stake. Based in Brazil, OAS is a conglomerate that operates in several countries in the field of civil engineering. Also, it is involved in the petrochemicals and energy industries, as well as it has taken part in several highway concessions in Brazil.
In addition to the above, OAS became one of the biggest beneficiaries of the building boom in Brazil because of this year's World Cup soccer tournament and the 2016 Summer Olympics, both of which are taking place in the country of soccer, carnivals and coffee. However, Mata Pires was fiercely criticized by demonstrators who protest against the government funding the both events and took to the streets last year. Married to well-heeled heiress Tereza Magalhaes, the daughter of the late Brazilian Senator Antonio Carlos Magalhaes, he and his wife gave up their share in the family's estate of $200 million, which was the impetus behind a family feud.
