Jim Collins Interviews Jorge Paulo Lemann

Must watch interview of Jorge Paulo Lemann, one of the owners of 3G Capital.

Jorge Paulo Lemann is Brazil’s richest man thanks to his stake in Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s largest brewer, which he owns through private equity firm 3G Capital together with fellow billionaires and longtime partners Carlos Sicupira and Marcel Herrmann Telles. The trio also has stakes in Restaurant Brands International, which owns Burger King and Tim Hortons and is listed both the New York and Toronto stock exchanges. In 2013 Lemann’s private equity firm bought H.J. Heinz & Company for $23 billion together with Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway. It was 3G Capital’s second acquisition of an American name brand. In 2010, 3G Capital bought Burger King in a leveraged buyout. Lemann is a former Brazilian tennis champion who played at Wimbledon. He has lived in Switzerland since 1999, after an attempted kidnapping of his children.
