Marcos Lamacchia: how big is the future Vasco SAF owner's fortune? | OneFootball

First and foremost, the sale of 90% of Vasco da Gama’s SAF shares to businessman Marcos Lamacchia is moving forward. However, the deal still depends on some important points before it can be finalized. Last Friday, the 25th, the company owned by Leila Pereira’s stepson won the auction for Vasco’s SAF.

As the first and only interested party in the auction, Marcos Lamacchia earned the right to make an initial offer. As a result, Almirante Participações S/A gained the right to set the value of the SAF. This allowed him to avoid figures below what the club wanted.

It is worth remembering that last Friday’s auction was an important step, but not the final one, in the sale of the SAF. This is because other procedures still need to be completed before control of the football department passes to Almirante Participações S/A. The entire process up to the signing will be overseen by the Rio de Janeiro courts.

Where does Marcos Lamacchia’s money come from?

First of all, Marcos Lamacchia is the heir to two of Brazil’s richest families. His fortune is estimated at R$ 17 billion. CEO and co-founding partner of the investment management firm Blue Star Asset Management, he is the son of José Roberto Lamacchia, founder of the financial conglomerate Crefipar.

His mother is Junia Faria, daughter of banker Aloysio de Andrade Faria, founder of the former Banco Real. Junia is an heir to the business conglomerate of Grupo Alfa. Its companies include Agropalma, Água Prata, and the C&C Casa & Construção chain. 

Leila Pereira has a fortune of R$ 8 billion

Along those same lines, Marcos Lamacchia is the stepson of Leila Pereira, the current president of Palmeiras. The combined fortune of José Roberto Lamacchia and Leila Pereira alone exceeds R$ 8 billion. Marcos Lamacchia’s stepmother has already stated that she has no professional relationship whatsoever with her stepson, which would not prevent Lamacchia from buying Vasco’s SAF.
