Million-dollar party sparks controversy online.
The birthday party of the daughter of a major businessman from Belo Horizonte reportedly cost R$ 5 million and included the presence of several artists and a performance by Ivete Sangalo.
Minas 247 - More than a thousand guests attended Bruna Bretz's 15th birthday party at the Expominas Multipurpose Arena in Belo Horizonte. It wasn't exactly a party, but a large-scale event. So large, in fact, that it generated controversy on social media, with some praising and others criticizing the lavish celebration.
Bruna is the daughter of Mônica and Vicente Bretz, one of the owners of the Epa/MartPlus supermarket chain, one of the largest in the state. Although not officially confirmed, it is estimated that the couple spent around R$ 5 million on their daughter's 15th birthday celebration, which took place last Saturday. The lavish and luxurious event was attended by politicians, businesspeople, artists, and featured a performance by singer Ivete Sangalo, of whom Bruna is a fan. The celebration also included a show by DJ Valver, considered the number one electronic music DJ in Minas Gerais.
Throughout this week, the controversy has been growing online. Users of blogs, forums, and social networks, especially Facebook, were quick to join the discussion. Here are some of the comments, both favorable and unfavorable:
