From Venezuela to Miami: Anabella Murillo’s Immigration & Wealth Story

Buenos días, bonadillas! ☕🥐 Welcome back to Cafecito y Croquetas , brought to you by Stay Tranquilo and H&CO . Today we’re joined by Anabella Murillo —a Venezuela-born financial industry professional who shares an incredible story of resilience, reinvention, and building a life in the U.S. Anabella walks us through what Venezuela was like in the mid-2000s, how her family’s immigration journey unfolded, and what it really took to start over in Miami with “two suitcases and a dream.” From there, we get into the world she’s built over the last 18 years—working in the trust & estate / private wealth space and supporting ultra high net worth families with legacy planning, structure, and long-term strategy. This one is full of gems for anyone trying to level up financially and think ahead. In this episode we cover: Growing up in Venezuela + the realities of the early 2000s The immigration process + starting over in Miami Why she chose work over another degree during the 2008 financial crisis New York vs Miami vs San Francisco: what she learned in each city What “trusts” actually are (and why they matter for legacy + protection) The connection between money decisions and legal consequences Advice for the younger generation: being proactive, learning money early, and building the right circles Why Miami is still just getting started—and why it’s the “Magic City” If you enjoyed this conversation, drop a comment: What’s one money lesson you wish you learned earlier? 👇 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this one. 📌 Stay Tranquilo. #CafecitoYCroquetas #StayTranquilo #HCO #Miami #Venezuela #ImmigrantStory #WealthPlanning #TrustsAndEstates #FinancialLiteracy #LatinosInFinance Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
