Let’s get this straight: Georgios Frangulis isn’t a household name like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk. But in the world of cold-pressed superfruits and international expansion, he’s a quiet kingpin. Oakberry started in 2016 with a single store in São Paulo. By last year, it had over 800 locations across 40 countries. Brazil, USA, UK, Japan, even Saudi Arabia—they’re everywhere except maybe your local airport (though give it a month).
That kind of footprint doesn’t happen on pocket change. Açai might be a commodity, but a global franchise network with that velocity screams “high eight figures.” I’m talking $50 million to $99 million, conservatively. And honestly? That might be low-balling it. Think about the real estate, the supply chain, the branding rights—this guy isn’t just selling fruit, he’s selling a lifestyle.
But Wait—He Also Owns a Piece of Le Mans FC
Here’s where the story gets weirdly cool. In 2026, Frangulis bought a stake in Le Mans FC, the French football club. Yes, the same club that used to be owned by the legendary Italian car manufacturer (and current F1 team). Why would a Brazilian açaí mogul buy into a Ligue 2 team in the middle of Normandy? Because he can. And because it’s a killer marketing move. Suddenly, Oakberry gets pitch-side ads, hospitality suites, and a direct line to European sports fans who are obsessed with performance nutrition.
Georgios Frangulis - Do Brasil para o mundo: A expansão internacional
Think about it: Le Mans FC isn’t PSG or Real Madrid. But it’s iconic in its own gritty way. The name alone carries history—endurance, speed, underdog spirit. Frangulis is betting that association makes Oakberry look serious, not just a beach vacation snack. And the price tag? Even a minority stake in a solid lower-league club costs a few million dollars. It’s a flex, sure. But it’s also a signal that his net worth isn’t just pocket change from smoothie sales—it’s investment-grade money.
