Maria da Graça Xuxa Meneghel (/ˈʃuːʃə/ SHOO-shə, Brazilian Portuguese: [maˈɾi.ɐ dɐ ˈɡɾasɐ ˈʃuʃɐ mẽneˈɡɛw]; born Maria da Graça Meneghel on 27 March 1963) is a Brazilian TV host, actress, singer, and businesswoman.[2] Nicknamed "The Queen of Children",[a] Xuxa built the largest Latin and South American children's entertainment empire. In the early 1990s, she presented television programs in Brazil, Argentina, Spain and the United States simultaneously, reaching around 20 million viewers daily. According to different sources, the singer's sales range between 30 and 50 million copies.[4][5] However, in 2025, the record label Som Livre, with which the artist recorded almost all of her albums, gave her an award for 28 million copies sold in her career and 10 billion streams to date.[6] Her net worth was estimated at US$100 million in the early 1990s.[7] Also successful as a businesswoman, she has the highest net worth of any Brazilian female entertainer, estimated at US$400 million.[8]
