E duardo Voigt Schwartz is a Brazilian heir to the fortune of WEG, a major multinational company that is a global leader in the production of electric motors. He is a grandson of Werner Ricardo Voigt, one of the three co-founders of WEG. The company was founded in 1961 in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.

WEG has grown from a local manufacturer into a global industrial giant, producing a wide range of electrical equipment, including motors, generators, and transformers, as well as industrial automation systems. The company is publicly traded but remains controlled by the descendants of its three founders. Eduardo, along with his siblings and cousins, inherited a substantial stake in the company. He is not involved in the day-to-day management, and his immense wealth is derived from his passive ownership of this highly successful Brazilian industrial enterprise.
