Delyanne Barros Builds $3.5 Million Coaching Business After Retiring at 43
1 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Jun 2
At 43, Delyanne Barros says investing gains and a coaching business with 600,000 followers let her retire herself and her mother and move to Portugal three years ago.
Barros turned to investing after failed attempts to buy New York property while earning $180,000 as a lawyer and carrying $150,000 in student loans, then began sharing what she learned online during Covid.
Her portfolio is deliberately simple: 85% in S&P 500 and international index funds, with $526,000 in retirement accounts and more than $1.5 million in a brokerage account she plans to draw down at a 4% rate.
The online course business has generated $3.5 million in revenue over five years, reinforcing her message that low-cost index investing and steady contributions can still work for people who start in their late 30s or later.
