Gabriela Berrospi hosts gala at Mar-a-Lago on Latino prosperity and empowerment
Gabriela Berrospi has emerged as a leading economic voice in the Latino community, championing financial education and empowerment.
Latino Wall Street is the life goal of Gabriela Berrospi, who founded a financial education organization with the goal of ending poverty and developing the wealth generated by the Latino community.
He and the organization are on a meteoric rise – Berrospi is an in-demand commentator on financial issues in the Latino community, a member of the Forbes Financial Council and has recently graced the cover of several magazines. With a television show on the New York Stock Exchange in collaboration with FinTech TV, Berrospi is emerging as a powerful economic voice in the Latino community.
Berrospi and her husband and business partner Tony Delgado hosted the first Hispanic Prosperity Gala at Mar-a-Lago on Feb. 10, which included a star-studded lineup of political and business leaders, musical entertainment and a speech by Argentina’s President Javier Milei, who received the Economic Freedom Award while praising the MAGA trade association that the US recently signed.

The Hispanic Prosperity Gala showcased the undeniable power of Latinos in the Trump administration and the growing international effort to unite right-wing movements across the Americas.
Berrospi said his dream was to hold an event or gala to showcase success stories from various industries in the Latino community, including athletes, Latin Grammy Award-winning musicians, and business and financial icons.
“I always wanted to show the world who we really are, what we can do,” she said. “A lot of the media about Latinos, it’s like, ‘Oh, they don’t have money, oh poor, oh this or that,’ and it’s not very empowering. My movement, Latino Wall Street, is about empowering and uplifting Latinos.”

Berrospi cites Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway and Ray Dalio of Bridgewater Associates as major influences on his investment philosophy.
“In order to eradicate poverty, we follow a strict investment strategy,” he said. “The way I put my money, I’ve learned that it’s not about getting rich quick, it’s about being patient, it’s all about investing in the main indicators that are proven to work no matter what happens, which are epidemics, which are world wars, which are terrorist attacks. So there are proven strategies, right? Warren Buffett’s plan is that, no matter what happens, if you know you stick.

“And really, if something bad happens, it’s just an opportunity to add to your position. So that specific information that he gave me at his conferences in Omaha that I had the privilege to attend and learn from him personally, is the exact framework that we follow. We invest in stocks, the S&P 500, very conservative strategies that have been proven to work.”
Berrospi faults the culture of conspicuous consumption for making it difficult to educate Americans about financial literacy, prosperity and sound investing, a trend that has grown in the way that social media has revealed get-rich-quick investment schemes.

“I think we live in a culture about spending money. It’s all about showing off. I mean, and I say this with confidence because I come from a different culture, isn’t it. In Peru, we don’t have that kind of culture: let’s spend money, let’s show off. It’s very different. It’s very family-oriented, it’s reinforced.”
He also emphasizes that the American economic dream, while realistic and attainable, comes with serious risks associated with ignoring financial literacy.

“America is the richest, but at the same time, it is also the most indebted,” said Berrospi. “Also, I think something needs to be fixed and that is responsibility. And you always make sure that part of your income goes to the future, to your retirement, to your account for your child. That is very important and basic, and you can do that on autopilot. Then, when I read that from the top advisors in the world, like Warren Buffett … you actually do that automatically. And it’s actually easy to do. It works because we don’t do random things. We do what has been proven to work for over 100 years.”
