Sebastián Piñera was twice president of Chile in this 21st century. He was a tireless, risk-taking politician, he liked to bet and win.

He has a fortune estimated by Forbes at about $2.9 billion, the fifth largest in the country. But this intersection between money and politics was not free for him. He tried without much success to captivate that moderate center in which he sometimes seemed more comfortable than in his own sector. He is an average Catholic. He felt comfortable visiting former President Barack Obama in Washington.
