Delyanne Barros

Delyanne Barros, widely known online as Delyanne the Money Coach, is a Brazilian-American financial educator, content creator, and former employment attorney. She rose to prominence across major social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Instagram, by producing relatable, jargon-free guidance on stock market investing, debt elimination, and achieving early retirement. Through her educational programs and online content, Barros champions long-term index fund investing to help individuals build wealth and reach financial autonomy.

Early Life and Legal Career

Barros was born in Brazil and moved to the United States with her family at eight years old, spending much of her youth in Miami, Florida. After pursuing higher education, she attended law school and graduated in 2008 burdened with substantial student loan debt. She subsequently moved to New York City and spent over a decade working as a plaintiff-side employment attorney, advocating for workplace rights and employee protections. Despite a successful career in law, Barros faced heavy student debt and workplace burnout, prompting her to seek alternative pathways toward long-term stability.

Financial Education and Entrepreneurship

In 2019, Barros began researching wealth-building principles and discovered the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement. Realizing that low-cost, slow-and-steady index fund investing offered a viable path to financial freedom, she launched her personal finance brand, Delyanne The Money Coach LLC, in January 2020. She documented her journey of paying off her remaining student loans while teaching beginner-friendly investment strategies. Barros later created her signature digital course, 'Slay the Stock Market,' which has taught thousands of students how to manage their own portfolios and navigate the stock market confidently.

Media Footprint and Personal Life

As her short-form video content went viral, Barros built an extensive digital platform that includes a strong presence on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Her work attracted significant media attention, leading her to host CNN’s personal finance podcast, Diversifying, and receive features in national publications such as Time, Forbes, and Business Insider. After achieving her financial independence goals, Barros retired from practicing law. She subsequently relocated from the United States to Lisbon, Portugal, where she resides near the coast with her family and manages her remote education business.
