Eduardo Luiz Saverin (/ˈsævərɪn/ SAV-ər-in, Brazilian Portuguese: [eduˈaʁdu luˈis saveˈɾĩ] ⓘ; born March 19, 1982)[4] is a Brazilian entrepreneur, angel investor, and philanthropist,[5] known for co-founding Facebook. Based in Singapore, he is the co-founder and co-CEO of the venture capital firm B Capital.

Saverin is the wealthiest Brazilian, with an estimated net worth of US$36.3 billion as of January 2026, according to Forbes, and the 44th richest individual in the world.[6] His current net worth reportedly makes him the wealthiest person in Singapore.[7]

Early life and education

Eduardo Luiz Saverin was born in São Paulo to a wealthy Jewish-Brazilian family,[8][9][10] who later moved to Rio de Janeiro. His father, Roberto Saverin,[11] was a businessman working in clothing, shipping, energy, and real estate.[12] His mother, Sandra, was a psychologist. He has two siblings.[13] His Romanian-born grandfather, Eugenio Saverin (born Eugen Saverin), is the founder of Tip Top, a chain of children's clothing shops.[13] In 1993, the family immigrated to the US, settling in Miami, Florida.[11]

Saverin attended Gulliver Preparatory School in Miami. He then attended Harvard University, where he was a resident of Eliot House, a member of the Phoenix S.K. Club, and president of the Harvard Investment Association. While an undergraduate at Harvard, Saverin used his interest in meteorology to predict hurricane patterns and made $300,000 via investment in oil futures.[12][14] In 2006, Saverin graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a Bachelor of Arts in economics.[15] He is a member of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity (Eta Psi chapter of Harvard University).[16]

Career

During his junior year at Harvard, Saverin met fellow Harvard undergraduate, sophomore Mark Zuckerberg. Noting the lack of a dedicated social networking website for Harvard students, the two worked together to launch Facebook in 2004. They each agreed to invest $1,000 in the site. Later, Zuckerberg and Saverin each agreed to invest another $18,000 in the operation.[17] As co-founder, Saverin held the role of chief financial officer and business manager.[8]

On May 15, 2012, Business Insider obtained and released an exclusive email from Zuckerberg detailing how he cut Saverin from Facebook and diluted his stake.[18] Zuckerberg privately stated at the time, "Eduardo is refusing to co-operate at all... We basically now need to sign over our intellectual property to a new company and just take the lawsuit... I'm just going to cut him out and then settle with him. And he'll get something I'm sure, but he deserves something... He has to sign stuff for investments and he's lagging and I can't take the lag." Zuckerberg's attorney warned Zuckerberg that the dilution might trigger a lawsuit for breach of fiduciary duty. Facebook filed a lawsuit against Saverin, arguing that the stock-purchase agreement Saverin signed in October 2005 was invalid. Saverin then filed a suit against Zuckerberg, alleging Zuckerberg spent Facebook's money (Saverin's money) on personal expenses over the summer.[19] In 2009, both suits were settled out of court. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed and the company affirmed Saverin's title as co-founder of Facebook. Saverin signed a non-disclosure contract after the settlement.[20][21]

In addition to forming B Capital, in early 2020, Saverin invested in Antler, an early-stage VC fund and startup accelerator founded by his friend and Harvard classmate, Magnus Grimeland.[22][23]

In media

Saverin is played by Andrew Garfield in the film The Social Network, which is based on Ben Mezrich's The Accidental Billionaires.[24]

Personal life

Saverin emigrated to Singapore in 2009.[25] Saverin and Elaine Andriejanssen, an Indonesian national of Chinese descent and with partial Dutch ancestry, became engaged on March 27, 2014, were married on June 25, 2015.[26][27] They met while they were both studying at their respective universities in Massachusetts: Saverin at Harvard and Andriejanssen at Tufts.[3] Andriejanssen, who works in the finance industry, comes from a wealthy family that runs several businesses in Indonesia.[28][29]
