At 37, Billionaire Marcelo Claure has succeeded in almost everything he’s tried. Now he hopes to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to Miami.

Those who know him best say the 37-year-old Bolivian native and South Beach resident has an uncanny knack for pouncing on opportunities at just the right time and the ingenuity to carry out his ideas. While a student at Bentley College in Boston, he ran a lucrative frequent-flier trading business out of his dorm room. He also has the guts to take risks, wisdom to surround himself with the right partners, and a personality as large as his 6-foot-6 frame. In other words, business associates say, the perfect person to bring Major League Soccer back to Miami.

(Repeat, he is 37…)
