$4.4BHealth CareForbes #823BR

◼ Origin

Born 1946 in Rio de Janeiro. A cardiologist (MD, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) who began acquiring and upgrading private hospitals in Rio starting in 1977 and converted the Copa D'Or hotel into a flagship hospital in 1994, building Rede D'Or São Luiz into Brazil's largest private hospital operator with over 70 hospitals, publicly listed on the B3 exchange in 2021.

◼ Self-Made Verdict — YES

Moll Filho built Rede D'Or from clinical practice and early hospital acquisitions funded by professional earnings; no inherited business wealth was identified. Self-made.

◼ Documented marks

01

Controlling shareholder (~72%) of Rede D'Or São Luiz (B3: RDOR3), Brazil's largest private hospital operator with over 70 hospitals, more than 60,000 employees, and revenues exceeding R$22 billion annually

02

In 2022, Rede D'Or acquired SulAmérica health insurance (Brazil's second-largest health insurer) with CADE approval without conditions, creating a vertically integrated hospital-insurer entity

03

Brazil's antitrust regulator CADE approved Rede D'Or's acquisition of Medgrupo Participações and Hospital Santa Lúcia only on condition that Rede D'Or divest either Hospital Santa Lúcia or both Hospital Santa Luzia and Hospital do Coração, a binding structural remedy imposed to prevent market concentration

04

BTG Pactual holds approximately 23% of Rede D'Or, making Brazil's largest investment bank a major co-owner of the hospital network

05

Moll Filho also directs the D'Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) and has published academic research on neuroscience and moral cognition
