Former BBC and economist Gilberto Nogueira, 30, who became known as Gil do Vigor, revealed that he had earned a million dollar sum after his departure from the 21st edition of Big Brother Brasil, with only advertising contracts.
“I’ve already earned R$ 15 million,” he said in an interview with Forbes. The program ended about six months ago and since then, Gil has signed contracts with several brands, such as banks, food brands and cleaning products.
The economist, who now lives in the United States to pursue his PhD, also talks about finance on a board in the Mais Você (Globo) program. In the program, he also tells of his experiences in the United States, and on his Instagram he shares his daily life in the project “O Brasil tá Lascado”.
He was recently invited to the world premiere of “The Forever”, a new feature by Marvel, which opens on November 5th. He will be on the red carpet in Hollywood next Monday (18), alongside stars such as Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and Richard Madden.
“The vigor is great, my people! And I’m here moved by the opportunity to live this moment, which for me means a lot. It’s our country occupying these spaces, we are Brazilians reaching far and shining all over the world. It’s special to see power and the impact of culture on all of us. Long live art! Never censorship!”, he said at the time.
