In this Wealth Wednesday episode of the Latin Wealth Podcast, we break down two stories shaping culture and business across the Latino world. First, we react to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show and why it became a major Puerto Rico moment on the biggest stage in American sports. With a record-setting audience and a performance centered on reggaeton and Latin music, we discuss what the show meant for Puerto Rican culture, what the NFL gained from the decision, and why the reaction online revealed deeper tensions around identity, language, and representation.


Next, we shift to China’s green tech push in Latin America and why it matters for the future of investment. We explore how China is expanding its influence through renewable energy, electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, and large-scale manufacturing—especially in markets like Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. We connect the numbers to strategy, how global competition is shaping Latin America’s economy, and what that could mean for long-term opportunity and risk.


This episode ties together culture, media, and power—showing how a Super Bowl performance can reflect the same themes we see in global investment and geopolitics: influence, strategy, perception, and who controls the narrative. If you follow Bad Bunny, Puerto Rico, reggaeton, Latin music, and the business side of global expansion in Latin America, this conversation will give you a deeper lens.
