The property underwent several renovations so that it could be the official residence of Xuxa, with mini zoo and nursery, heated pool with waterfall, main house (1050 m2, two floors and five suites with closet), guest house (280 m2), Japanese restaurant (195 m2 bar, industrial kitchen and laundry), fitness center (196 m2), party room (540 m2), recording studio (60 m2), sauna (com 62 m2), house of the employees (283 m2), old house of the caretaker (63 m2), support cellar (67 m2), linen and storage (306 m2), garage for eight cars and helipad.[101] With a total of 78,000 square meters,[102] Xuxa traveled with the golf carts and this one was a refuge for the artist, which did not prevent that fans slept in the entrance of the site waiting for Xuxa.[103] The site was called Casa Rosa was a frequent figure in television programs and specialized magazines, consequently gaining space in the popular culture, arriving to be called Brazilian "Neverland".[104] In 2007, with the concern of providing a social life closer to normal to her daughter Sasha, Xuxa put the site up for sale for $8 million.[105] However, the presenter has not yet been able to sell the property, which is still part of its equity.[106] Still in 1990 Xuxa acquired an apartment of five million dollars in New York,[107][108] that still forms part of the artist's patrimony and took advantage of the opening of the Brazilian market to imported vehicles to found the Shine Car, concessionaire of imported luxury cars based in Rio de Janeiro.[109] With a partnership with Grendene, Xuxa sold 4 million sandals in Brazil, 1 million in the United States, 1 million in Mexico and 500,000 in the rest of Latin America only in 1990.[107]

In 1991 she began her international career as a television presenter, launching the show El Show de Xuxa by Telefe, Argentina. The program was retransmitted to 17 countries in Latin America and the United States.

Also in 1991 Xuxa intensified the licensing of products with her brand and even sold 1.5 million sandals in the United States.[97] She bought five luxury apartments in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, which earned $200,000 in rent.[107]

In 1992 Xuxa signed a contract with the Spanish television network Telecinco for 15 episodes of the Xuxa Park program, receiving $240,000 per episode.[110] Only TV Globo, Telefe and Telecinco Xuxa received more than $3.4 million monthly.

Between 1986 and 1992 Xuxa had sold 18 million discs, which had generated a revenue of over $175 million, of which 20% was destined for Xuxa.[97][112] Xuxa's Xuxa program produced four tours, including Xuxa's Xuxa 89 tour, in which Xuxa's cache was over $300,000, with a production schedule that involved ten trucks, 60 air tickets, two wagons, two 25-ton stages with more than 150 people involved.[113]

In September 1999 the residence was bought by the singer and American actress Brandy Norwood, for $1.7 million.[114] In the year of 1993 Xuxa handled $220 million only in licenses.[115] At the end of this year, a problem in the spine made her slow down. In 1994, the death of Ayrton Senna also contributed to Xuxa diminishing her work rate gradually.[116] Also that year, she bought a mansion on Star Island in Miami for $15 million.[117] The mansion had already belonged to Madonna and is owned by Xuxa until the present time.[118] A tourist boat ride, titled Rich and Famous Tour, includes the Xuxa mansion in the script.[119][120] In present values, a mansion in the island has the minimum price of $65 million.[121]

In October, she announced that she would soon leave her career to try to be a mother through artificial insemination, which did not happen because Xuxa had to meet contractual deadlines, which did not prevent the artist from again slowing down the work pace.[123][124] In November its patrimony was estimated at $300 million.[116] Also in 1996 she founded Lar's Empreendimentos, responsible for real estate investments and the creation of the O Mundo da Xuxa park in 2003.[125][126]

Xuxa in 2004

In 2002 they acquired a coverage of four suites for R$13 million in São Conrado, in the city of Rio de Janeiro.[108] In 2008 part of the cover caught fire when Xuxa, Sasha and Luciano Szafir were in the property. Luciano was taken to the hospital with a degree of intoxication by the great smoke that quickly spread.[108][134] According to the magazine Veja, also in 2002, Xuxa had $250 million in equity referring only to real estate.[135] The year 2002 was also marked by the professional breakup of Xuxa and Marlene Mattos, who left the command of the holding company of Xuxa,[136] by reducing their salary at Globo TV to $1 million a month, which lasted until their exit of the issuer,[137] and the foundation of the company Espaço Laser, in which Xuxa owns 51% of participation. It ended the year with 200 licensed products and monthly sales of R$30 million.[138]

Also in January 2011 Xuxa won a $150,000 lawsuit against Folha Universal, which had stated in 2008 that the artist "was Satanist and would have sold her soul to the devil for $100 million."[146][147]

In 2012 Xuxa received R$2 million to participate in an advertising campaign of beauty products brand Wella, changing the color of her hair, appearing brunette for the first time in her career. The amount was donated to the Xuxa Meneghel Foundation.[148]

In 2013 TV Bandeirantes was condemned by the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) to pay an indemnity of 1.1 million reais to the presenter. The STJ ruled that Xuxa appeared naked on the station's show in 2008. The images had been published by Playboy before Xuxa launched herself as a children's show host in the early 1980s. The STJ, therefore, rejected the request of the issuer to rediscuss the amount of compensation established by the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ) in 2011.[149] Also in 2013 Xuxa bought an island in Angra dos Reis, for R$12.7 million.[150][151][152]

In February 2015, Xuxa refused a proposal of renewal with Globo TV, since its salary would happen to be 1 million dollars monthly, that received from 2002, to R$250,000, without next projects to return to present a program.[154][155] In the same month, the O Mundo da Xuxa came to an end, since the place would have to go through new investments in attractions and layout, to meet the need to expand the shopping center in which it was, which would not be viable that due to the Brazilian economic crisis; the park had a final profit of R$4 million in 2014, against R$10 million in 2008.[156][140] It was sold to Parque da Mônica for R$40 million.[157] In March Xuxa signed with RecordTV for R$1 million monthly.[158] If the program leaves the grid of the station, Xuxa will receive $250,000 monthly.[159] In that same year the Laser Space earned R$50 million.
