The host country for this year's World Cup is hoping to get a $70 billion boost from the influx of spectators for the games, according to the Brazilian Ministry of Sports.

That could be a helpful shot in the arm for the economy, since Brazil's growth has slowed recently. Even the country's super-rich are feeling poorer -- their combined wealth dropped $95 billion from 2012 to 2013. However, a large portion of that loss can be attributed to Eike Batista, a rich Brazilian businessman who lost billions of dollars in the last couple years.
