Not at all. I'm just wondering how many people can afford to buy Apple products in Brazil and if a new store in Brazil is even worth it.

A lot of people can afford Apple products in Brazil, especially Sao Paulo. It's just a numbers game, the population of SP city alone is over 11 million. This city has more private helicopters than any other city in the world. There is a shopping mall with Chanel, Prada, Gucci stores. Imported cars are common, including BMW, Mercedes, Range Rover, and these are even more expensive because the owners usually have them 'blindado', bullet proofed. There are showrooms for Ferrari, Porsche, Bentley. It's easy to find apartments that cost well over US$ 1 million. There are plenty of people with an awful lot of money in Sao Paulo, and Brazil in general.

I wonder how much money can Apple make in Brazil with the prices Apple sells at in Brazil ?

No different that the tariffs Brazil puts on all other other imported products.

You are trying to imply that the higher prices are just extra profit for Apple.
