At that time, the brother, known for his ability to laugh easily, earned 500,000 BRL, but due to uncertain investments, he ended up losing everything. In an interview with Geraldo Luís, the famous told what really happened. “I bought a thousand calves, at that time it cost R$ 350 reais. And I paid rent on a farm for two years,” he said.
“I spent everything there (…) I made too many mistakes. The first mistake was not being with my things. I don’t even have a bank account today. Money really, nothing!” said the BBB champion.
