Biography

Early life

Portico da Xuxa in Santa Rosa, Rio Grande do Sul

Maria da Graça Meneghel was born in Santa Rosa, Rio Grande do Sul, to Luís Floriano Meneghel and Alda Meneghel (née Alda Flores da Rocha). Xuxa is of Italian and Polish descent by paternal side and of German, Swiss, Dutch and Portuguese descent by maternal side.[6] Her paternal great-great-grandfather (Ettore Meneghel) emigrated to Brazil at the end of the 1800s from the northern Italian town of Cison di Valmarino, in the region of Veneto.[7] In 2013, Xuxa obtained Italian citizenship by descent.[8][9]

During Xuxa's birth, her father was told that both mother and child were at risk. He opted to save his wife, and prayed to Our Lady of Graces, promising to name his daughter after the Blessed Virgin Mary if all went well.[10][11] Although she was named for the Virgin as promised, Xuxa, the youngest member of the Meneghel family, received her famous nickname from her brother, Bladimir. When their mother arrived home with the baby, she said to him: "Look at the baby that I bought to play with you," he replied: "I know, it's my Xuxa."[12] The nickname stuck, though it was not until 1988 that she officially changed her name to Maria da Graça Xuxa Meneghel.[13]

Xuxa spent her early years in her hometown Santa Rosa. When she was seven, she and her family moved to Rio de Janeiro where they lived in the Bento Ribeiro neighborhood.[14]

At 15 years old, she was discovered by a modeling agency, and began her professional career as a model at 16.

In 1991 she began her international career as a television presenter, launching the show El Show de Xuxa by Telefe, Argentina. The program was retransmitted to 17 countries in Latin America and the United States.

Also in 1991 Xuxa intensified the licensing of products with her brand and even sold 1.5 million sandals in the United States.[96] She bought five luxury apartments in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, which earned $200,000 in rent.[106]

In 1992 Xuxa signed a contract with the Spanish television network Telecinco for 15 episodes of the Xuxa Park program, receiving $240,000 per episode.[109] Only TV Globo, Telefe and Telecinco Xuxa received more than $3.4 million monthly.

In September 1999 the residence was bought by the singer and American actress Brandy Norwood, for $1.7 million.[113] In the year of 1993 Xuxa handled $220 million only in licenses.[114] At the end of this year, a problem in the spine made her slow down. In 1994, the death of Ayrton Senna also contributed to Xuxa diminishing her work rate gradually.[115] Also that year, she bought a mansion on Star Island in Miami for $15 million.[116] The mansion had already belonged to Madonna and is owned by Xuxa until the present time.[117] A tourist boat ride, titled Rich and Famous Tour, includes the Xuxa mansion in the script.[118][119] In present values, a mansion in the island has the minimum price of $65 million.[120]

In October, she announced that she would soon leave her career to try to be a mother through artificial insemination, which did not happen because Xuxa had to meet contractual deadlines, which did not prevent the artist from again slowing down the work pace.[122][123] In November its patrimony was estimated at $300 million.[115] Also in 1996 she founded Lar's Empreendimentos, responsible for real estate investments and the creation of the O Mundo da Xuxa park in 2003.[124][125]

Xuxa in 2004

In 2002 they acquired a coverage of four suites for R$13 million in São Conrado, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.[107] In 2008 part of the cover caught fire when Xuxa, Sasha and Luciano Szafir were in the property. Luciano was taken to the hospital with a degree of intoxication by the great smoke that quickly spread.[107][133] According to the magazine Veja, also in 2002, Xuxa had $250 million in equity referring only to real estate.[134] The year 2002 was also marked by the professional breakup of Xuxa and Marlene Mattos, who left the command of the holding company of Xuxa,[135] by reducing their salary at Globo TV to $1 million a month, which lasted until their exit of the issuer,[136] and the foundation of the company Espaço Laser, in which Xuxa owns 51% of participation. It ended the year with 200 licensed products and monthly sales of R$30 million.[137]

Also in January 2011 Xuxa won a $150,000 lawsuit against Folha Universal, which had stated in 2008 that the artist "was Satanist and would have sold her soul to the devil for $100 million."[145][146]

In 2012 Xuxa received R$2 million to participate in an advertising campaign of beauty products brand Wella, changing the color of her hair, appearing brunette for the first time in her career. The amount was donated to the Xuxa Meneghel Foundation.[147]

In 2013 TV Bandeirantes was condemned by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) to pay an indemnity of 1.1 million reais to the presenter. The STJ ruled that Xuxa appeared naked on the station's show in 2008. The images had been published by Playboy before Xuxa launched herself as a children's show host in the early 1980s. The STJ, therefore, rejected the request of the issuer to rediscuss the amount of compensation established by the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ) in 2011.[148] Also in 2013 Xuxa bought an island in Angra dos Reis, for R$12.7 million.[149][150][151]

In February 2015, Xuxa refused a proposal of renewal with Globo TV, since its salary would happen to be 1 million dollars monthly, that received from 2002, to R$250,000, without next projects to return to present a program.[153][154] In the same month, the O Mundo da Xuxa came to an end, since the place would have to go through new investments in attractions and layout, to meet the need to expand the shopping center in which it was, which would not be viable that due to the Brazilian economic crisis; the park had a final profit of R$4 million in 2014, against R$10 million in 2008.[155][139] It was sold to Parque da Mônica for R$40 million.[156] In March Xuxa signed with RecordTV for R$1 million monthly.[157] If the program leaves the grid of the station, Xuxa will receive $250,000 monthly.[158] In that same year the Laser Space earned R$50 million. Xuxa, as a businesswoman, had a final profit of $160 million from her companies.[159][160]
