He was the founder of Unibanco, one of the largest banks in Latin America, and served as the country's ambassador to the United States and minister of finance. He was also a generous patron of the arts and created the Instituto Moreira Salles, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting photography, literature, libraries, visual arts and Brazilian music.
