The 40-year-old's
investments in publicly traded companies in Portugal, including shares
in a cable TV firm, as well her assets in at least one Angolan bank,

Her first business
endeavor was in 1997 when she opened a restaurant in Angola's capital,

business interests to a number of industries, sitting on the boards of
several Angolan and Portuguese companies.

economic player
