Thanks to Brazil's easygoing tax laws, which take only 17½% of dividend returns, Majority Stockholder Matarazzo's income for the year soared high into the millions even on this somewhat sketchy accounting. Yet the count works day & night pyramiding his holdings ever higher. Last week he announced that beginning Jan. 1 the firm's listed capital will be increased...
