It is hard to choose the most famous Brazilian celebrities of current times. The answer will probably differ depending on who is answering it. For example, Forbes Brazil ‘s list of the 100 most powerful celebrities in Brazil is quite different from the list of most followed Brazilians on Instagram.
Obviously, the ranking would be different if written by people of distinct ages, cultural backgrounds, locations, etc.
For instance, Maisa Silva , a Brazilian teen actress, and TV host, was the most followed teenager in the world on Instagram in 2018. However, if you ask an elderly person, they might say she cannot be more famous than singer Roberto Carlos.
For the sake of this article, we are only considering Brazilian celebrities that are still alive as of 2020. Furthermore, social media status will not affect this list as much as the general public opinion. The list is also ranked in no particular order.
Neymar is a Brazilian professional football player who plays for Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazil national football team. He is a controversial player — while some consider him one of the best players in the world, others think he is overrated.
The footballer made his professional debut aged seventeen at Santos Futebol Clube in 2009. Since then, he also played for Futbol Club Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Neymar helped his clubs to win more than 20 championships in total. He has also won over 50 individual honors, such as the UEFA Champions League top scorer.
Neymar is also famous in Brazil for his party lifestyle and dating actress Bruna Marquezine. Their relationship was widely publicized throughout the media in Brazil.
Paulo Coelho is a novelist and one of the most famous Brazilian celebrities worldwide. His book The Alchemist is an international bestseller, with around 35 million copies.
After walking the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, Paulo Coelho connected with religion. That made him start to explore rich symbolism and spirituality in his books through his characters. In Brazil, Paulo Coelho’s nickname is The Magus ( O Mago ).
Even though his books are a huge success among readers, critics might think otherwise. Book review editors and critics are always coming after him.
Ivete Sangalo is among the most loved Brazilian celebrities in Brazil. The singer is famous for her charisma and for being kind to fans. Her spunky personality is also something everyone loves about her.
Ivete’s concerts are very popular and most of her singles become hits in Brazil. Ivete is unanimously the most popular female singer in Brazil, her albums have sold more than 20 million copies.
Ivete Sangalo first became famous as the lead singer for axé music band Banda Eva in 1993. She then started her solo career in 1997, winning three Latin Grammy Awards since. She is also the spokesperson for dozens of brands in Brazil.

In 1994, Roberto Carlos was the artist who sold more records in Latin America, with over 70 million copies, beating the Beatles. He also has a star on the Miami Walk of Fame.
Every year, Roberto Carlos hosts a TV show special a few days before Christmas, in which he sings his greatest hits along with famous guests. The show is a huge tradition in Brazilian television.

With impending global events like the World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, the world is getting to know and love Brazil, and Brazilians, just a little bit more. So here we are, counting down 10 of the world’s most famous Brazilians!
Best known as "the phenomenon", retired Brazilian soccer player Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima grew up playing soccer as a kid in the poor streets of a Brazilian neighborhood.

After it’s inception, Facebook filed a lawsuit against Saverin, while Saverin counter sued.
