Joseph Safra died at the age of 82 “of natural causes.” He had been married to Vicky Sarfati for 50 years.
One of the most prestigious families in Brazil is in mourning. Joseph Safra, founder of the Safra bank, passed away this Thursday at the age of 82. “It is with immense regret that we report the death of Mr. Joseph Safra due to natural causes,” the financial entity said in a statement.
According to the international press, the richest man in Brazil and the 37th in the world – according to ‘Forbes’, had an estimated fortune of more than 19,000 million euros – was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about two years ago. Since then, public appearances have become rare. The woman, Vicky Sarfati, whom he married in 1969 and had four children (Jacob, Esther, Alberto and David), was his main support until the last day.
Discreet and conservative, Seu José, as his closest friends treated him, always maintained simplicity and concern for the bank’s employees, who now describe him as “a great leader and businessman.”
