Luciano Hang has an estimated net worth of $2.3 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Luciano Hang profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $2.2 billion in 2019.
Luciano Hang is a Brazilian businessman best known for cofounding the department store chain Havan in 1986. He built his name in retail, with a strategy centered on physical stores instead of online sales. Havan later grew to more than 150 locations and about 20,000 employees. Early on, Hang bought out his cofounder and came to own nearly all of the company, making Havan the main engine of his fortune.
His wealth comes mainly from Havan, a large retail business in Brazil’s fashion and retail space. By 2020, the company had about $1.9 billion in revenue, showing the scale of the chain he helped build. Hang also had other business interests, including hydro-electric power plants, gas stations, a real estate company, and an investment fund. Forbes estimated his net worth at $2.3 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026.
How Luciano Hang built his fortune
Hang’s money story starts with Havan, the department store chain he cofounded in 1986. The business expanded by leaning hard into brick-and-mortar retail, a path that set it apart from companies chasing online growth. That store-first model became the core of his wealth. After buying out his cofounder early in the company’s history, Hang ended up owning nearly all of Havan, tying most of his fortune directly to the chain’s performance.
As Havan grew, so did its footprint across Brazil. In 2019, the company had 126 stores in 17 states, with plans to reach 145 by the end of that year. Forbes later noted that Havan had more than 150 locations and about 20,000 employees. The company brought in about $1.9 billion in 2020 revenue. Beyond retail, Hang also had holdings in hydro-electric power plants, gas stations, real estate, and an investment fund.
Forbes net worth over time
Forbes valued Hang at $2.2 billion in 2019, then $3.6 billion in 2020 and $2.7 billion in 2021. In 2022, that estimate climbed to $4.8 billion, the highest figure in this list. It then moved down to $3.2 billion in 2023 and $2.3 billion in 2024, before reaching $2 billion in 2025. Those shifts track how Forbes’ view of his retail-based fortune changed from year to year.
The latest figure in this set is $2.3 billion, listed by Forbes on its real-time billionaires tracker in October 2026. That amount also matches Forbes’ 2026 World’s Billionaires List estimate. His wealth remains closely linked to Havan, since he owns nearly all of the chain and built his fortune through department stores. Because his main asset is a large retail company, changes in that business can have an outsized effect on his estimated fortune.
