The private plane of Roger Agnelli, head of the Brazilian mining corporation Vale, crashed into a residential building in San Paulo, Brazil, killing all 7 aboard, including Agnelli’s wife and two children, Reuters reports.
The plane crashed into two homes in San Paulo on Saturday afternoon.
“We have lost a Brazilian of extraordinary entrepreneurial vision,” President Dilma Rousseff said in a statement Sunday.
An issue of Harvard Business Review ranked Agnelli as the top mining CEO in the world.
One person inside the building was injured by the crash, the rest had been evacuated immediately, according to Russia Today.
