Book, The King of Dividends - by Luiz Barsi Filho

"The book you hold in your hands is an inspiration for wealth, but not only that: by sharing moments of humor and cunning, pain and joy, Barsi shows himself, little by little, as he really is, in all his humanity.

And that is what makes this work also an inspiration for us to become, more than competent investors, better people." – Fabio Baroni, Felipe Ruiz and Louise Barsi, founding partners of AGF

A poor boy, raised alone by his mother in a tenement, Luiz Barsi Filho became a legend in the world of investments.

It didn't happen overnight. He started investing in the late 1960s, went through successive economic crises and plans, and prospered at (almost) every moment.

This was only possible because it created its own way of operating in the market, averse to speculation and supported by in-depth knowledge of the companies it associates with, always keeping an eye on the dividends paid.

After decades of working with discipline, Barsi became one of the few Brazilian billionaires – the largest individual shareholder of Banco do Brasil and owner of a respectable part of large conglomerates, such as Unipar and Klabin.

At 83 years old, he continues to see opportunities where others see crises and invests every penny in new shares in good companies.

In this autobiography, he explains his philosophy for anyone who wants to learn how to invest soundly. And he tells his personal story to inspire those who seek to overcome adversity and be successful in the market and in life.
