Early Life & Education

Nicolás Maduro Moros was born on November 23, 1962, in Caracas, Venezuela. He grew up in a working-class family in the El Valle neighbourhood, a modest area of the capital city.

Maduro is of mixed ancestry, typical of many Venezuelans, with likely mestizo (mixed European and Indigenous) and possibly some Afro-Venezuelan heritage, though specific details about his ethnic background are not widely documented.

He was raised Catholic, and his public statements often reference his Christian faith, though he has also expressed support for spiritual movements, such as that of the late Indian guru Sai Baba, reflecting a blend of religious influences.

Maduro was born to Nicolás Maduro García, a trade union leader and leftist activist, and Teresa de Jesús Moros, a homemaker. His father’s involvement in labour and political activism influenced Maduro’s early exposure to socialist ideals.

He is known to have at least three sisters: María Teresa Maduro, Anita Maduro, and Josefina Maduro.

Maduro’s formal education was limited. He attended the Liceo Ávalos Public High School in Caracas but did not complete his studies, dropping out before earning a degree.

In the 1980s, he trained in Cuba at the Ñico López School, a political education program run by the Cuban Communist Party, where he honed his ideological and organizational skills. This experience shaped his commitment to socialist and revolutionary politics, aligning him with the ideals of Hugo Chávez’s Bolivarian movement.

Maduro’s early life reflects his roots in Venezuela’s working-class struggles, with his father’s activism and his own experiences as a bus driver for the Caracas Metro shaping his path toward political leadership.

Career

Nicolás Maduro’s professional and political journey began modestly as a bus driver for the Caracas Metro, where he also became active in trade union organizing and the defense of workers’ rights.

Influenced by his father’s leftist activism and his own immersion in socialist circles, Maduro embraced revolutionary politics early in life.

In the 1980s, he attended the Ñico López School in Cuba, a training ground for socialist leaders, which deepened his ideological commitment. Returning to Venezuela, he joined the Socialist League and later helped found the Movement of the Fifth Republic, the political organization that propelled Hugo Chávez to national prominence.

Under Chávez’s mentorship, Maduro’s political career accelerated. Elected to the National Assembly in 1998 to represent Caracas, he became an influential figure in the Bolivarian Revolution. From 2005 to 2006, he served as president of the National Assembly, solidifying his standing within the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).

In 2006, Chávez appointed him Minister of Foreign Affairs, a post he held until 2012. During this time, Maduro cultivated alliances with Cuba, Russia, China, and other nations, reinforcing Venezuela’s anti-imperialist foreign policy.

In 2012, Chávez named Maduro Vice President, signalling his role as a trusted successor. Following Chávez’s death in March 2013, Maduro assumed the role of acting president and narrowly won the April 2013 presidential election, a result disputed by the opposition.

His presidency has been marked by deep economic crisis — including hyperinflation, severe shortages, and the collapse of the oil-dependent economy — worsened by U.S. sanctions. Critics have accused his government of authoritarianism, electoral fraud (notably in the 2018 and 2024 elections), and crackdowns on dissent.

Nevertheless, Maduro has retained power through the backing of the military, loyalist state institutions, and steadfast support from foreign allies such as Russia, China, and Cuba, even amid growing international isolation.

Personal Life

Nicolás Maduro was born on November 23, 1962, making him 62 years old.

He is married to Cilia Flores, a Venezuelan lawyer and politician who has served as a prominent figure in the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) and held roles such as Attorney General (2006–2011) and First Lady since 2013.

Maduro and Flores married in July 2013, after being in a long-term relationship. There are no public records of Maduro having other marriages or significant dating history before his relationship with Flores, which began in the 1990s during their shared political activism in Chávez’s movement.

Maduro has one son, Nicolás Ernesto Maduro Guerra, born in 1990, from his relationship with Flores. His son, often called “Nicolasito,” has held political roles, including positions in the National Assembly and the Maduro administration, though he is controversial and accused of nepotism.

He stands around 6 feet 3 inches (190 cm) tall, based on his appearances alongside other leaders.

Net Worth

Nicolás Maduro’s net worth is a subject of debate, with estimates ranging widely due to Venezuela’s opaque financial systems and allegations of corruption.

Most sources, including Yahoo! Finance and Celebrity Net Worth, estimate his wealth at around $2 million to $3 million, primarily from his political salaries and government benefits as Venezuela’s president since 2013.

Others, however, claim a significantly higher figure of $275 million, while some allege hidden fortunes in offshore accounts or ties to illicit activities, although these remain unverified.

The U.S. has seized over $700 million in assets linked to Maduro and his associates, and a $50 million reward is offered for information leading to his arrest, reflecting accusations of corruption and narco-trafficking. The exact figure remains uncertain due to Venezuela’s economic crisis and lack of transparency.
